A process for managing the showing and usage of real estate up for sale. The
process
allows buyers to schedule a showing or in person viewing of real estate directly
through an Internet web site. The buyer will be able to view the schedule of multiple
properties in their area giving them the ability to plan their house hunting expeditions.
Sellers of real estate may block out times when they do not want their property
shown directly from their own computers. Agents will have complete visibility of
the seller's availability time thereby increasing availability to schedule. Sellers
will also be able to view when agents have scheduled a showing for their property
and gain access to historical records of their property showings. Agents will be
able to list properties for showings and make appointments for their clients to
view other agents' properties with a click of a mouse. The central scheduling focus
will be around the property. The seller's agent along with the seller will set
up pre-conditions allowing a buyer or buyer's agent to select times for showings
around these pre-conditions.
