Real estate websites have an average of 20,000,000 views per month on floor plans alone. According to Zillow, floor plans are the 2nd most important feature on a listing and correlates highly with capturing potential leads. Adding a floor plan to a real estate listing can increase click-throughs from buyers by 52% (Rightmove). 1 in 5 (20%) of possible buyers would ignore a listing that does not contain a floorplan.
The market currently demands that listings have an accurate floorplan. According to errors and omissions legal experts, inaccurate observations about the subject property (square footage, condition or other attributes) are one of the most common causes of complaints and lawsuits.
