Consumers looking to buy condominiums or townhomes will be able
to zoom over and around cities and condo projects using Google Earth
on CondoBuzz.com.
CondoBuzz.com, a national network of 1,500 real estate Web sites
focused on condos and townhomes, has incorporated Google Earth's
three-dimensional imagery feature into some of its local condo Web
sites, according to Randy Kempenich, president of Kemteck Inc., which
owns CondoBuzz.com and its affiliated Web sites.
Google Earth combines satellite images and maps, and CondoBuzz has
combined the program with data for condo buildings and projects,
giving users a visual idea of the neighborhood along with other information
before making a real estate purchase.
In addition, users can also take a glimpse of where just announced
projects will be built, as well as local restaurants, shopping and
parks that are nearby.
Condo and townhouse developers also can use the feature to highlight
their projects on the CondoBuzz network, the company said.
Each of CondoBuzz.com's real estate sites are locally focused on
individual metropolitan areas. The company offers exclusive membership
to brokers for referral services.
