Google Earth

We know what you are thinking. What on earth is Google Earth?  

Google Earth is a very widely used geographic information system (GIS). Formerly known as Keyhole EarthViewer, it allows the user to render 3D representations of Earth-based primarily on satellite imagery. The program can be downloaded on a smartphone, tablet, desktop, or utilized on your web browser.  

Why is this program important to me? 

Zeal Realtors® uses Google Earth to layout our various communities. We export the files and make them available to you. It provides users the ability to view our developments from a satellite view as well as access to lot lines, sizes, land specifications, and more. All in real-time! Taking your clients in the field to view a prospective land purchase is important and you will be able to refer to this tool to help answer many questions that may arise about the land you are viewing.
