Abstract
Systems, methods, and software for storage and distribution of real estate related data. Some embodiments include a database of data representing three-dimensional topographic views of geographic areas and a computer system adapted to present a topographic view of a geographic area based on a query by a user for information related to a listing of a property for sale or lease. In some embodiments, properties for sale or lease are plotted and identified within a three-dimensional topographic view providing the searcher a neighborhood view of the area of interest. Users can move around the three-dimensional topographic view as if they are flying overhead.
