Salt Lake City is one of a handful of cities that has recently been added as a Google StreetView City!
You are either really excited about this or really freaked out about it, but the bottom line is that this is good news for homebuyers.
Listing agents tend to take pictures from angles that conveniently leave things out like huge power lines in front of the house, substations or water treatment facilities next door, or avoid showing you that the home is on one of the busiest roads in town. (Among countless other things)
Now, from the convenience of your home or office, you can "drive" through the neighborhood and eliminate homes from your list that have these types of problems that otherwise may only become obvious by actually driving up to the property.
Another benefit is that you can now look at those homes where the agent was too lazy to take a picture (or purposefully didn't take a picture) of the exterior of the home!

Ben,
The street view in very cool. Have you found that your buyers use it? Do you use it in setting up appointments or researching the home? Even sometimes?
Would the net effect be to decrease the number of homes a buyer physically goes to see or increase them or neither?
