If you've got access to high-speed Internet, then aerial views could help you with you marketing efforts. Google Earth is free! And it has so many features you can use, especially for commercial real estate.
I say especially for commercial r.e., because investors and entrepreneurs are interested in what surrounds the listed property. What community services, restaurants, motels, and gas stations, not to mention roadways and Interstates are nearby. This free application shows all that.
You can place markers, in any color, smaller or bigger, with labels on them, to mark any site of interest that's near the property in question. You can even show ALL of your listings to someone that way. (I love doing that!) And you can zoom in and out, print it, save it, put it into Photoshop and tweak it some more, oh, it's endless!
The best part is that you can give your potential buyer a reason to buy that property. If they represent a fast food chain, and Burger King is right next door to your listing, they may or may not want to purchase the property - it really depends on their reasoning (and we usually have absolutely no idea what that reasoning is, and they're not telling us, either.)
There are other free aerial view applications, one being MapQuest, but I think that one is far too simple. It kinda just shows a cartoonish red star in the middle of nothing. Not much functionality there. Of course, there are others you can pay for, as well.
As I find more aerial applications on the Internet, I will share them here. I'm all about technology. And I really think that it is the future of real estate. I mean, look at my first blog - we do things via fax, and email, and take pictures with digital cameras now. Everything is with the computer, I mean we use property information applications to get owner information and tax maps, reverse phone finds, and look, I've even got a blog!
