When it comes to real estate sales, photos and descriptions are not the only things that matter. Buyers also want to see a floor plan to understand the room layout. The question, however, is: should the listing include a detailed technical drawing or a simplified version instead?
Technical Floor Plan – Too much Information?
Technical plans are precise and indispensable for builders or designers. However, in a sales listing, they can be more confusing.
- Numerous symbols and details require explanation
- Dimensions and annotations clutter the visual
- The buyer cannot quickly understand how the rooms function in everyday life
Simplified Floor Plan – a Buyer-Friendly Choice
A simplified plan focuses on the essentials – where the kitchen, living room, bedrooms, and bathroom are located, as well as the room arrangement and flow. All unnecessary elements have been removed.
This makes the plan intuitive and understandable for everyone, regardless of their background. This is precisely what helps buyers instantly imagine how they could live in the home.
Client Example: from Technical Plan to Simplified Sales Version
Recently, a client approached us who only had an old technical plan. It contained all sorts of symbols and dimensions that were not suitable for a sales listing.
Our task was to create from it a clear and simplified floor plan that a buyer could immediately understand.
Before – Technical Plan and After – Simplified Plan
The result was a cleanly presented room layout plan that the client used in their real estate listing. The listing became much more understandable and attractive.
Advantages of a Simplified Plan
- Clean and professional appearance – creates a better first impression.
- Understandable to everyone – does not require technical knowledge.
- Increases listing credibility – clear information builds confidence.
- Suitable for any channel – real estate portal, print, or social media.
- Fewer unnecessary questions – buyers find important information themselves, without needing to call.
Which to Choose?
If the goal is to sell real estate, the answer is clear: a simplified floor plan works better. A technical plan can be reserved for projects and official documents, but a buyer-friendly visual must dominate in listings.
Whether it is called a floor plan, layout plan, or room distribution plan – the goal is the same: to give the buyer a quick and clear overview.
Make your Listing Understandable and Sales-Ready
