Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current real estate websites lack automation in facilitating communication and information exchange between buyers, sellers, and lenders, with no integrated computerized system to manage contacts and track performance effectively.
Innovation Solution
A computerized system that enables seamless information sharing and communication between buyers, sellers, and lenders, allowing for personalized contacts, tracking of buyer activity, and management of contacts to eliminate redundancy, while integrating lenders earlier in the buying process and providing tools for performance tracking.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If a computerized system integrates lenders, sellers, and buyers for automated communication, then information exchange efficiency is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system is divided into separate functional modules: buyer module for entering search criteria and receiving notifications, seller module for listing properties and managing contacts, lender module for providing financing information, and administrator module for overseeing the network. Each module operates independently but communicates through standardized interfaces, enabling efficient information exchange while managing complexity through modular design.
Solution Approach 2:
An administrator acts as an intermediary to manage the network of lenders and coordinate communications between buyers, sellers, and lenders. The computerized system itself serves as an intermediary platform that automatically routes information between parties, eliminates redundant communications, and tracks performance metrics, thereby improving efficiency without requiring direct complex interactions between all participants.
2Loss of energy
If automated communication management is implemented among multiple parties, then redundant communication is reduced, but contact management complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system incorporates feedback mechanisms where the computer automatically tracks communication status between parties and provides notifications when follow-up is needed. The system monitors which parties have been contacted, when contacts occurred, and what actions are pending, thereby eliminating redundant communications while managing complexity through automated tracking and reminder systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The computerized system automatically manages contact schedules and communicates with parties based on predefined criteria without requiring manual coordination. The system self-regulates communication flow by automatically notifying buyers of new properties matching their criteria, alerting sellers of interested buyers, and coordinating lender communications, thereby reducing redundant communication while the automation handles the management complexity.
3Adaptability or versatility
If lenders are integrated earlier in the buying process, then buyer development is improved, but system integration complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The computerized system is designed as a universal platform that handles multiple functions: property searching, buyer qualification, lender coordination, and performance tracking. The same core architecture supports all these functions, allowing lenders to be integrated at any stage of the buying process without requiring separate systems, thereby improving buyer development while managing integration complexity through a unified multi-functional platform.

AI summary
A computerized system and method are presented for exchanging information between a buyer, a seller, a lender, and a strategic business source. The system permits sellers, lenders and strategic business sources to input buyers that are then submitted for activation. The buyers use the system to obtain information about items, while the sellers, lenders, and strategic business sources make consistent contact with the buyer in order to work with the buyer. Information about the buyers is shared with the sellers, lenders, and strategic business sources. A business plan is input into the system for the financial institution employing the lender while another business plan is input for the seller institution employing the seller. Activity on the computerized system is calculated for compliance with the business plan. Feedback is provided to management relating to whether the business plan is being met.
