Recently I had a client looking to move to Washington, DC, from another part of the country. While I love DC and enjoy helping people move here, it can be hard for them to understand a neighborhood from afar.

While clearly it’s no substitute for an actual visit, Google Streetmaps is a great online tool for gauging the curb appeal of a listing—and neighboring houses. With Google Streetmaps, my client was able to eliminate some properties before he visited DC, saving him time on his visit.

(Thanks to 14th & You the reminder to blog about Google Streetmaps!)
