Saw this in a nice neighborhood. The builder has erected a sign with his logo, a rendering of the house, and copies of the floor plans. But I didn’t see any place for flyers with inside pics or the asking price.
I’m sorry, I thought you wanted it done the right way.

That's a nice sign he has. His floor plans, though, look like paste-ups of the actual drawings.
I think that a lot of prospective buyers don't get as good a feel of the spaces and flow of things, from a dimensioned plan view. If I was to do a spec house again, I might use a "dollhouse view" of each floor to better communicate.
Here is an example.

I think the plans were actually copies of blueprints.
Your idea would be neat, but he would have to pay someone to draw them. Did you do that one? What program?

The "dollhouse view" pic is one used by Chief Architect in their advertising. I gotta presume Chief can do that.Gene Davis, Davis Housewrights, Inc., Lake Placid, NY
Do you have any idea how long the rendering for that image would take?

Start a thread about Chief Architect software and its rendering capabilities. I know Mike Smith uses Chief and will comment.Gene Davis, Davis Housewrights, Inc., Lake Placid, NY
Seems kinda dumb having a picture of the house on the sign, when the sign is right in front of the house.
The sign is placed on the prop-line between two houses, so I guess he wants to make sure the lookers know which house it is. But, the other house is 2 yrs old and occupied, so in this case it's a no-brainer. Maybe this is whjat he does for his houses in new neighjborhoods and just kept the same style.
