I have a question – I’m looking at including floor plans in my package, but I’m concerned about legal issues. Specifically, if I measure wrong, can I be sued by a purchaser because they relied on my information? I have included a disclaimer on the plan saying that it is not to scale and that I’m not guaranteeing it’s accuracy, but not sure if I should still be taking out professional indemnity insurance. Any thoughts?

My company uses our own proprietary software to produce our floorplan tours. They are very popular and along with our comprehensive syndication package, 2D & 3D style-it feature with furniture placement, we can market the heck out of an agents listing. We price our product based on square footage and are able to price our products competitively. Here is a link to one of our tours.

This is agonizingly close to what we want. Floorplans on an iPhone

Perhaps if there were enough requests they might do a version for floorplanners.

Erick P. This product (below) doesn’t work on the iPhone, but PDA’s and tablet PCs. It is not as easy to use as I would like but has the promise of measuring and drawing once and no more Illustrator, smartdraw, autocad or whatever you use. I agree with you though, I’d love software like this for the iPhone.

Is there an app that works with the iPhone where you can enter in the measurements and it creates each based on the data you input?

I agree that it sounds ridiculous for someone to sue an agent because someone used the floor plans to burglarize the house, but I have heard of worse things.

I think high rise apartments are a bit different, as the floor plan doesn’t help them as much. However, for a surburban house criminals do care which rooms do not face the street and where the alternate entrances are. This information is even more useful if they do not have to case the property to find it.

One agent my wife knows was recently sued because the owners went on vacation and the pipes burst and caused so much damage the house was deemed inhabitable during a winter storm here. The agent couldn’t visit the house due to road conditions but that didn’t prevent them from suing her. While it is true that people can take precautions to reduce crimes, people also do not like to take responsibility for their actions.

Therefore it would not surprise me if a criminal is caught and confesses that he used a floorplan from the listing to commit the crime, a lawsuit would be headed the agent’s way.

I also offer 2D and 3D floor plans as an add-on to virtual tours, and attach it to the tour. Some of my savvier agents will order one based on the property they are listing. I carry a laser measure with me and taking the measurements goes fairly fast. For my plans I use Metropix – fairly simple online program.

As for the agent being held liable if “someone tries to rob the house” – that just seems ridiculous. The onus of responsibility lies with the homeowner to make sure valuables are secured before showing the property. Plain and simple….if they don’t want others to “see” what they have, make sure it’s secured and out of sight!
