“Imagine having the ability to view every crack and crevice that appears on a foreclosure property’s exterior without leaving the comfort of your own home?”

That’s from DSNews.com, which just yesterday picked up the good news that Foreclosure.com now provides cutting-edge aerial oblique image technology for most of its more than 1.2 million nationwide real estate listings thanks to a deal with Pictometry.

Pictometry allows users to view landmarks, roads and complete municipalities from multiple directions (North, South, East and West) and angles with just a few mouse clicks. In fact, features such as a house, building, street light — even a fire hydrant — can be seen in their entirety thanks to the leading-edge innovation.

For example, with Pictometry, Foreclosure.com visitors can drill down and see front doors, backdoors, windows and other home features.

“As a real estate investor, one of the most important details when searching for a great deal is the exterior condition of the home,” said Foreclosure.com President and CEO, Brad Geisen. “Even if it’s just a shot of the outside, that one photo provides a potential buyer with a good sense of what is for sale. Pictometry ensures that our visitors get this all-important first look.”

In addition, the aerial images provide a unique neighborhood perspective, which is uncommon for the traditional photos that brokers and Realtors® often upload to their listings. In short, Pictometry images are above and beyond traditional images on real estate listings.

Pictometry International Corp. is the worldwide leader in oblique aerial imagery and imaging software. Using its proprietary imaging process, Pictometry® captures geo-referenced, high-resolution oblique (at an angle, producing a 3-D like view) and orthogonal (straight down) Intelligent Images®, within which structures and land features can be accurately measured. Pictometry is a second order visualization tool that does not produce authoritative or definitive information (surveying) from its digital, aerial images.

This is probably one of the most innovate inventions regarding “property viewing” I’ve seen. You can “show” a house without leaving your office.

The technological developments in being able to see that much detail of a house is just amazing. Only a few years ago, all we had were poor, usually black and white, satellite photos. Then we got color satellite pictures, and then the static “birds-eye” view. Some of the ones now are almost “helicopter over the house” height and great for seeing the property from all angles.

Additionally, its nice to see the neighborhood that the house sits in. This will save me a lot of windshield time.
