Create a Listing Impression
With the Obeo Space Designer, prospects can decorate a home’s interior online and start to envision themselves living in one of your listings. The service, hosted by the Obeo Web site, allows prospects to click, drag, and arrange already-loaded furniture into the home’s rooms on an interactive floor plan of your listing. They can quickly determine whether their furniture—scaled to the floor plan—would fit. Buyers also can view a 360-degree panorama of the actual property or a slide show of listing photos. $70.
