RealEstate.com's addition of Street View is an innovative feature for real estate Web sites and gives visitors a true, first-hand experience from the comfort of their own home computers. Street View, which has imagery from over 40 metropolitan regions nationwide, was recently added to the Google Maps API, which provides developers and companies the ability to easily integrate Google Maps into their Web sites.
"We're really excited about adding the Street View feature from Google
Maps to RealEstate.com because it provides our visitors a new and interesting
viewpoint for their online real estate searches," says
Street View is currently offered in 40 metro areas (complete list below). RealEstate.com can now offer its visitors Street View access to home listings in approximately 500 cities within those metros. Previously, visitors to RealEstate.com viewed an album of photographs including several inside and outside pictures of available properties. Now, where Street View imagery is available, a visitor will also see a "Street View" link located below the listing information where they can click and get a drive-by snap shot of the house and a 360 degree tour of the street and the neighborhood.
The adoption of Street View by RealEstate.com is the latest innovation in a series of tools and services created, tested and offered by the company. Founded in 2003, RealEstate.com has grown to become one of the largest national data providers in the online real estate arena, providing visitors a constant stream of current real estate listings updated 24-hours a day, home valuations, and helpful tips and tools all presented in one easy-to-use Web site.
