IT’S ALL ABOUT IMAGES

We’ve all heard the hype about the aerial photos and virtual tours, but satellite images and digital topographic/geologic maps provide even more benefits for real estate pros.  Combined with our smartphones, handheld compact video cameras and GIS/GPS receivers, today’s high-tech real estate pros have the tools to capture, store, modify and analyze real estate data for decision-making and  client satisfaction.  Satellite imagery shows not only a 3-D picture of a property but also the surrounding area and its uses.

Looking for a site for a use? Or a use for an existing site?  Selecting a site, for example, for a nuclear waste disposal facility requires digital images of the site for the geology, soil type, vegetation, elevation, etc.  Layer upon layer of maps shows your client what the optimum site should be for the use  intended. Retail trade areas for shopping centers make good use of GIS mapping techniques; developers and market analysts couldn’t work without them.

We are developing several online seminars using real estate applications for GIS and GPS, so sales agents/brokers, appraisers, investors and developers will learn useful, practical and valuable information. The seminars will be available on-site as well as online. Our instructors are experts in this field, so you’ll be learning state-of-the-art techniques.  On-site  seminars must be arranged in advance.
