Abstract: A computer implemented, interactive method and system for assisting real estate agents and their clients in managing and closing a real estate transaction. The invention includes the computer system's generation of a Gantt Chart which automatically tracks the entire real estate transaction, simultaneously providing each agent with the same visual presentation, on their own computer display device, of a description and status of each task to be performed by both agents in order to close the purchase and sale of a property. The Gantt Chart displays each task in a column on each agent's display device and adjacent to each task is a horizontal schedule bar which may contain at least one status indicator which indicates the status of its associated task. A document access indicator is also displayed as an icon adjacent to each task which involves the preparation and delivery of a real estate document.
