I will probably never use their service, because I do not plan to move. But if you are going to move to a major metropolitan area, this company has driven around in a big van taking pictures of the neighborhoods. You can view the house you are going to buy from the street, see a close-up map of the street, view the next door neighbors' houses, and look up and down the street. This is a forward looking company! Use if if you are going to move to Minneapolis.
