Denver company to offer 3D Internet real-estate tool
AccessU2 Mobile Solutions LLC of Denver has cemented a deal to offer GeoData Technologies Inc.’s SiteSeer3D mapping technology, which allows people who want to buy homes and other real estate to look for properties to tour using a three-dimensional landscape on the Internet.
The Denver company plans to start offering the service in the next few weeks, according to AccessU2 founder and President Kenneth O’Hanlon.
SiteSeer3D “enables a person to go around town, look at any property and locate it by GPS. … You can look at everything you just looked at on a 3D map,” O’Hanlon said.
PropertyByPhone is basically an electronic version of the paper flyers offered in boxes attached to for-sale signs in front of homes.
With the product, AccessU2 offers prospective homebuyers information about a home — via text, still photos and streaming video — on their cell phones and PDAs. A PropertyByPhone sign attached to a for-sale sign includes a toll-free phone number for prospective buyers to call, and an access code for the home they want information about.
Home shoppers can also set up an appointment with an agent to see a home on the phone.
Subscribers to PropertyByPhone’s service include real estate professionals such as sales agents, brokers, property managers and homebuilders.
GeoData of Sandpoint, Idaho, is a provider of 3D property search software; the company launched SiteSeer3D last November.
