Abstract: A method and apparatus analyzes real estate information relating to potential buyers and a potential seller. Potential buyers each generate a list of characteristics of real estate they may be interested in purchasing. These buyer real estate characteristics are then indexed. A seller creates at least one characteristic of real estate they may be interested in selling. The at least one seller real estate characteristic is then collected. The indexed buyer real estate characteristics are compared to the at least one seller real estate characteristic. It is determined if there is a match between at least one of the potential buyers and the potential seller, based on the comparison.

Abstract: An apparatus and method of facilitating a credit transaction between a user and a merchant provides a rebate amount that is directed to an investment vehicle. To that end, the method and apparatus receive information indicating that the user is to make a credit transaction with the merchant, and determine a rebate amount for the user for that credit transaction. The rebate amount thus is a function of the credit transaction. Accordingly, as noted above, at least a portion of the rebate amount is directed to be invested in an investment vehicle.
