Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Listing agents often prioritize their personal gains by ignoring viable offers from buyers not using their services, leading to discrimination and a need for a system that ensures all partners in real estate transactions are aware of incoming offers.
Innovation Solution
A platform where all offers must be submitted through a designated website or mobile application, tagged with a specific logo, ensuring that only offers initiated through this system are considered, and providing real-time notifications and direct communication between parties.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If listing agents handle offers independently to maximize personal gains, then their personal benefit is improved, but fairness and transparency in the transaction process deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a centralized offer management system as an intermediary between buyers and listing agents. This system includes a dedicated website and mobile application that all parties must use to submit and communicate offers. The intermediary platform ensures that all offers are captured, displayed, and managed transparently, preventing listing agents from selectively ignoring offers while still allowing them to manage the negotiation process.
2Loss of information
If a centralized offer management system is implemented, then transaction transparency is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent designs the centralized offer management system to serve multiple functions through a single integrated platform. The website and mobile application handle offer submission, display to all parties, notification delivery, and communication coordination. This multi-functional approach consolidates what would otherwise require multiple separate systems into one unified platform, managing complexity through functional integration rather than multiplication.
3Speed
If real-time offer notifications are implemented, then response time is improved, but communication overhead increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements an automated feedback mechanism where the system immediately notifies all registered parties when a new offer is submitted. This real-time feedback loop ensures that sellers, buyers, and their agents receive instant alerts about offer status changes. The automated notification system reduces manual checking time and ensures rapid response to offers without requiring continuous human monitoring of the platform.

AI summary
The present disclosure relates to a system that facilitates real estate transactions by preventing listing agents from eliminating standing offers. In one embodiment, the system comprises a non-transitory computer-readable storage device including instructions, which when executed by a processor of the computing device, cause the computing device to receive selling information of a real estate from a seller or the seller's agent from a website or a mobile application, display the selling information to the plurality of users who enter search information that matches the real estate via the website or the mobile application, receive an offer from a buyer or the buyer's agent via the website or the mobile application, send a notification to the seller and seller's agent instantly and simultaneously about the offer through the website or the mobile application or both, and receive acceptance for the offer or a counteroffer from the seller or seller's agent or buyer and buyer's agent.
