3D Condo Explorer, which offers Toronto purchasers looking for condos with an unbiased look at prospective properties, is using Google Earth to provide a comprehensive look at every aspect of a prospective new home, including the view from the unit.

Condominium buildings that are on sale but not yet built come to life as vividly as newly constructed and resale prospects.  Views include the entire neighbourhood around it. Every detail is available to prospective purchasers, including surrounding buildings, nearby TTC stops, schools, restaurants, highways and the suites themselves, the company says.

“It’s like the best atlas, neighbourhood tour, floor plan and bird’s-eye view, all in one place,” says CEO and company founder Alexander Neshmonin. “This is the next wave because over the past 20 years MLS real estate listings have remained virtually unchanged,” Neshmonin says. “We offer much more with our virtual reality approach.”

A fully integrated search function lets buyers narrow their search as much as they want, eliminating properties that, for example, have no balcony, or specifying a minimum square footage, and then 3D Condo Explorer lets them explore in their own time.

“It eliminates the need for a scale model,” says Times Group Corporation president Hashem Ghadaki, who used 3D Condo Explorer to help launch 36-storey Key West in Etobicoke to enthusiastic response. “The clarity of views removed questions and uncertainties in purchasers’ minds.”
