Abstract: A method for providing real estate services to the owner of a real property which includes a structure. The method comprises obtaining from the seller, at a time at which a buyer for the property has not yet been identified, a commitment for the purchase of an appraisal covering the property. Thereafter, at a time at which a buyer for the property has not yet been identified, the dimensions of the structure are measured and information sufficient to prepare a floor plan of the structure is collected. Thereafter, at a time at which a buyer for the property has not yet been identified, a web page is coded to display a floor plan of the structure. The web page includes virtual furniture images which are user-positionable. Thereafter, the web page including the floor plan of the structure having user-positionable virtual furniture images is posted on a global network which can be accessed by potential buyers of the property.
