A new and exciting interactive 3-D mapping tool has arrived here at RealtyTrac. RealtyTrac members can view these new maps by clicking the map icon next to any property on the Search Results Page or by clicking the map links on any Property Details Page.

The new map experience is a vast improvement, and is unique among all national foreclosure services, giving RealtyTrac customers remarkably clear and detailed images, and a distinct advantage over investors and home buyers using other services.

When RealtyTrac visitors enter the map page, they will see icons representing all of the foreclosure properties in the RealtyTrac database that are located within the map area. Site users will be able to use aerial imagery and interactive mapping features to look for homes in a two dimensional street level map, a top-down aerial satellite view or a 3-D birds-eye view.

“High-definition interactive mapping is revolutionizing how the real estate industry and consumers look for homes," said James J. Saccacio, chief executive officer of RealtyTrac. "Our customers now have the ability to immerse themselves in a high-resolution, 3-D mapping environment, and actually conduct their property search without ever leaving the map.”

This technology gives RealtyTrac subscribers and agents useful new ways to map properties and better visualize their surroundings from multiple vantage points. Moreover, on-screen navigational tools enable users to move in different directions or zoom in closer to a particular property or zoom out for a broader view.

At RealtyTrac, we are constantly developing and adding new features to help improve the RealtyTrac customer experience. Let us know what you think. Feel free to either post a comment directly to this blog, or send us your thoughts and feedback to editor@foreclosurepulse.com.
