Fonville Morisey Durham Tech Bytes: MagicPlan 2.0

Ever notice how some listing agents seem to always have every piece of documentation needed to market a home.  Some material that you just can't seem to find the time or have the"know how" to do?  For example, some listing agents always have the floor plan to their listing in their marketing material.  Some of you feel that you don't have the time to do this.  Others feel that you don't have the technology or "know how" to do this.  Well, I'm here to tell you just how easy it is.

Try MagicPlan 2.0!  It is an app for your iPhone, iPad or Android device.  If you have ever needed to draft a quick floor plan of a house, but didn’t have the tools to do so?  Or you are looking to impress a seller? Well look no further. This app allows you to properly measure rooms, doorways, and corners to formulate an actual floor plan for the home of your choice.

After completing the quick tutorials, your phone does the rest: measuring lengths of walls, depths of corners, and assembling the entire floor plan. All you have to do is point and click on the corners, and you’re all set!  It also has social media functions that allow you to share the floor plans via Facebook and Twitter.  The best part? It’s FREE! 

Here is a list of what MagicPlan can do:

  • Measures walls and doors
  • Identifies the shape of the rooms
  • Draws the floor plan of each room
  • Aligns rooms
  • Manages wall thickness
  • Ensures door coherence
  • Geo-localizes your house
  • Attaches a picture to each room
  • Integrates your furniture
  • Generates JPEG, PDF & DXF files
  • Publishes an interactive floor plan
What an incredible tool for you to use as a real estate agent.  Download the app and get to work now!

  1. I've been wanting something like this forever, and I'm not even in real estate!

    One correction: MagicPlan is not yet available for Android (as of October 2012).
