Spend More Time Assessing, Less Time Guessing

Pictometry’s aerial oblique imagery offers a natural richness that lets our users glean useful information.

Combined with Pictometry’s analytical tools, these oblique images are allowing Assessors around the country to better fulfill their goals without leaving the office. Today, Assessors are using Pictometry analytic and integration solutions to provide more precise valuations to homeowners and more transparent service to their counties.

Boots on the ground. Running the wheel. Windshield time.

Over the years, I’ve heard a lot of colorful ways to describe something so many industries have in common: the hours devoted to a site visit.

Roofers and Claims Adjusters know the hassles that are involved. There’s the time and cost of travel, delays, unexpected weather conditions, ladders and tape, displaced workers and interrupted work flow. And for what? They still can’t really see a property from all it’s perspectives -- overhead and all around - - and measurements are difficult to take and, too often, imprecise.
