Resources

The universal doctrine of real estate is that location drives the industry. To make smart investments of time, resources and money, real estate developers, brokers and related professionals need the most accurate, real time view available of any property, its location and its commercial potential.

Real estate firms commonly add earth imagery as the base layer for data analysis and greater insight. Visual representation reveals more information, not only about the site, but about what is in and around it. With our high resolution imagery, you can clearly see important details such as number of parking spaces, the condition of landscaping and potential physical barriers.

Information is also more accurate in imagery than in other available sources, for example public records, which can be out of date. However, you get the most current changes in our imagery.

Here are ways that our imagery can help throughout the real estate development and sales cycle.

Site Selection

Start your site selection process by reviewing images of potential sites. Without ever leaving your office, you can broaden your view and quickly narrow to possibilities with the highest potential. Then, after you make site visits, use our imagery for ongoing visual access (you won’t have to rely on memory to know which site had which feature). With our high-resolution imagery, you can:

  • Locate and measure vacant land.
  • Verify ingress and egress of properties.
  • Understand a property’s trade area and its boundaries or barriers.
  • See growth patterns. Visualize colonization.
  • Clearly see transportation infrastructure.
  • Identify traffic patterns.
  • Track new construction.
  • Identify environmental risks.
  • Check demographics.
  • Analyze land cover and land use.

Commercial sales and marketing

Optimize your sales and marketing efforts with real life property views. Show actual features such as landscaping, property access, proximity to shopping and local services, parks, schools, etc.  Providing potential customers with the powerful combination of interactive aerial property views and relevant location data leads to better informed buyers. Rely on our imagery to help you:

  • Enhance presentations.
  • Create first class brochures for all company listings.
  • Make large prints or custom murals in house.
  • Integrate imagery with demographic software and reports.
  • Bring imagery into GIS using our exclusive MapHandler plug in.
  • Extend the value of GIS throughout your entire organization.

Residential sales

Use our imagery to support your sales efforts in a number of ways:

  • Explore multiple locations and listings simultaneously.
  • Create complete property marketing and customer advertising packages.
  • Show areas of interest with expanded property data.
  • Add aerial details to email communications.
  • Eliminate costly, time consuming site visits.
