  • Patent number: 11823242
    Abstract: 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.
