    Default Google Earth

    Just wondering what the thoughts are out there from real estate agents and brokers on the new Google Earth. Is it something that is worth integrating into your website? Do you think it would create value for your users?

    If Google Earth has the detailed satellite images for your area that can zoom down to the lot or home, then it may be worth the $400 investment for Google Earth Pro. Google Earth plus has less functionality, but it's a steal at 20 bucks.

    We use Google Maps for some of our real estate client sites. It's free to incorporate in your site. All you need is a Google Maps API key. The only sticky point with incorporating G Maps is getting the exact coordinates to show where the home is located.

    You may also want to look in to MSN Virtual Earth.

    Thanks for the feedback. I hope to get more input...I'm in charge of new product development at our company and was really just wanting to find out what the general attitude was on the market by real estate agents and brokers about the value of it on their website. Would you find value in it or be more likely to purchase a website that had it integrated? We are extremely familiar with the technology and can most definitely integrate it (we already did in a local MLS system).

    Are you representing Point2Agents? I've seen them integrating Google Earth - I thought it was pretty impressive. I think this is great optional/additional service/feature that some people can appreciate and worth spending time on.
