  • Patent number: 11182865
    Abstract: Computerized system and method of obtaining and analyzing data on how large numbers of real estate visitors view and interact with real estate property. The system, which optimally will operate during real-world real estate tours, may utilize data from either property associated sensors or user mobile device sensors (e.g., smartphone sensors) to obtain and aggregate visitor position and/or orientation data with respect to various designated locations of interest on the property. This can be used to produce statistics on visitor positions and/or orientations with respect to such locations. The resulting data can be used for statistical A/B testing and multivariate analysis, as well as provide information about various real estate features associated with below or above average visitor interest or approval. Various methods to encourage use, such as self-guided real-world tours, virtual staging, virtual goods and services, are also discussed.

  • Patent number: 10445843
    Abstract: A computerized method for optimizing a real estate management or selection process. This system scores various potential new real estate Comps in accordance with customer selected and weighted factors, including a novel set of Key Selected Driver (KSD) factors that rate a building's suitability to the customer's needs, according to an algorithmic scoring system. The system can use KSD factors to take into account the demographics of various cities or geographic regions, as well as take into account the distribution of employee homes, local traffic patterns, and the like. The system may also comprise a financial modeling section as well that makes alternative future cost projections based various financial parameters. The method can graphically show multiple potential sites, financial data, KSD factors, demographic factors, and mapping data simultaneously, thus allowing for rapid and intuitive optimization.
