Abstract:

A computer-implemented method of coordinating a tour of a listed property is described herein. A first electronic multiple-listing service (MLS) database is accessed over a network. The first MLS database includes data describing the listed property. Multiple enumerated entries characterizing the availability for touring of the listed property are identified. A memory device on which are stored agent-data entries characterizing the availability for showing the listed property of multiple agents is accessed. At least one confirmed time period during which the listed property is available for touring and an agent is available to show the listed property is determined. A graphical user interface (GUI) is generated to a display device. The GUI presents user-selectable icons representing time periods during which the property is not unavailable for touring. At least one of the icons is labeled as being associated with a confirmed time period.

Abstract:

A computer-implemented method to provide information characterizing real-estate market conditions within a geographic sub-region included within a larger geographic region is described herein. An indication of the geographic sub-region is received from a user. A memory device on which is stored information characterizing a set of parcels of real property that have been listed for sale is accessed. A parcel of real property located in the sub-region and for which a purchase offer has been made is identified from the stored information. If a purchase transaction for the parcel of real property has not closed, a range of a plurality of values characterizing the purchase offer is provided in at least one graphical user interface. If a purchase transaction for the parcel of real property has closed, a specific value of the plurality of values characterizing the purchase offer is provided in at least one graphical user interface.

Abstract:

A computer-implemented method includes providing to a user access, via an electronic network, to a memory device on which are stored listings of parcels of real property. A selection of a set of the stored listings is received from the user via the electronic network. In response to receiving the selection, at least a portion of a first itinerary is generated including an indication of at least one time at which the user will receive permitted physical access to at least one parcel of real property associated with the selected set of stored listings. The first itinerary is then provided to the user.

US Classification:

Abstract:

A user alert system is described herein that provides direct alerts to users of a real estate website each time a single event meets one of a user's criteria. Unlike periodic summary reports that summarize all events within a regular time period, direct or “instant” alerts are delivered as soon as possible after a condition is met for a subject property or other source of the event, so that the user receives the most timely notification possible. Users can create a set of search criteria and then save the search for future reference. The user alert system leverages these search criteria to identify any item that matches the user's search criteria and provide a real-time notification in a timely manner upon any real estate event occurring that matches the user's search criteria. Thus, the user alert system allows users to find out about changes much more rapidly.
