Patent number: 11823242Abstract: A method implemented in software and a software system for dynamically determining how to display one or more statements of interest (such as an offer or soft offer) is disclosed. After receiving one or more statements of interest from potential buyers, a software-implemented method determines a preferred manner for displaying one or more statements of interest received from the potential buyers to the seller, and displays the offers in a grid layout. The grid layout shows a number of buyers interested in making a hard offer in a manner that gives the seller insight regarding pricing their property as well as other factors that are determined to likely make the property more valuable. The one or more statements of interest are categorized into one or more categories, including the seller's displayed (and quoted) price. Each of the categories is associated with a price range, and optionally the price range is determined using machine learning techniques.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2023Date of Patent: November 21, 2023Inventors: Kathleen Lappe, Jonathan Burton

Electronic devices and methods for selecting and displaying audio content for real estate properties
Patent number: 11755182Abstract: Disclosed is a method implemented in software for providing digital audio content to a first user of an electronic device. The method includes displaying digital audio content to a first user, determining a digital audio content to be provided to the first user based on a demographic information, a psychographic information or a preference of the first user. The method may include receiving an input from the first user on a graphical user interface element that is displayed along with multimedia content, and may include triggering playback of the digital audio content in response to the first user performing actions on the graphical user interface element. The method has particular advantages as a method of providing a customized user-experience for a prospective or possible real estate transaction.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2022Date of Patent: September 12, 2023Inventors: Kathleen Lappe, Jonathan Burton -
