Looking for a unique addition to a listing presentation or home showing? Why not give your clients a birds-eye view of their property, using satellite imagery beamed down to your computer screen.
Google Maps' use of the satellite image is perhaps the most intriguing and useful. Try typing in the address of one of your listings, and then clicking the "satellite" button. It's eye-opening to see the property in the context of it's surroundings.
Show clients how close the property is to hospitals, restaurants, shopping malls or other amenities by typing the terms in the search field. If you know a potential buyer's place of work, show them the route the would take to get there. If the client has children, show them the location of parks and schools in relation to the house.
Neighboroo.com has taken the concept a step farther by applying data such as school performance, average home price, cost of living, crime index and lifestyle of residents to the overhead view, shown by colored patches that represent the given values. While the site currently does not yet offer intricate details on specific neighborhoods, it can be used to give clients a good overview of potential properties.
