Abstract: A system and method are presented to activate a real estate searching app on a mobile device through the input of an activation code. The code is associated in a database at a remote server with a first real estate professional. When the code is entered, the mobile device sends to the server the code and the current geographic location of the device. The server verifies the code to allow access to the app. The server uses the database to identify the first real estate professionals and also other professionals associated in the database with the first real estate professional. All of the identified professionals are then marketed on the mobile app. Furthermore, the server compares the time and location of the code entry with marketing events by the first professional in order to analyze the effectiveness of these marketing events.

Abstract: A computerized system and method uses a central server to aggregate data from a plurality of data sources and presents such data to potential property purchasers.

Abstract: A computerized system and method is presented that allows selling agents to market a listing agent's distressed property listings even though the selling agents work for a different broker than the listing agent. The owner of the property may restrict the selling agents that may market their property. In one embodiment, the owner selects a qualified lender, and the pool of selling agents who may market that property is limited to selling agents who are associated in the computerized system with the qualified lender.
