When I zoom into my property, a Google logo is display. So I assume they are sourcing from them.

No, that's not how this works. They're not giving away imagery for every address for free. They have some samples provided, which your address probably isn't in.

They do use Google Maps' satellite view to help you mark the correct area for them to capture.

The explorer is actually Google Maps. It looks like they are using it for you to have a tool to select the area that interests you.

Maybe there should be a disclaimer.
