Realtor.com is planning to offer its users FlyAround, a new feature that leverages 3D Maps from Google Maps Platform that provides a 360-degree view of property listings.
According to the company, FlyAround enables users to see lot dimensions, topography, and how a home fits into its surrounding neighborhood directly on the listing page. FlyAround, which is powered by TopHap Inc., will be built directly into the Listing Detail Page and will be available for all MLS-sourced listings on Realtor.com with geo-coordinates, as well as on off-market and recently sold property pages. Roll out is slated over the next few weeks.
“We are focused on giving home shoppers the right tools, confidence and expert edge to make confident home decisions,” said Dave Herman, senior vice president of product and AI innovation. “FlyAround brings listings to life in a way that helps home shoppers see not just the home, but its entire environment—turning what was once a 2D online experience into an interactive exploration.”
