Abstract: An online computerized platform and method are presented for aiding members of a network related to real estate transactions. In some aspects users that are prospective buyers or renters can establish a user-centric network of service providers relating to real estate, including agents, loan entities, legal and labor services, and other relevant contacts in a custom network for such users. Directed automated and user-driven actions can define the network for a given member of the community of users so that the user's experience is user-centric rather than centered around the offerings of a given vendor such as around real estate or loan or service offerings.

Abstract: In order that an improved communications interface between a human and a computer be provided, the interface to the computer program is directed to accommodate the variabilities of human communication rather than accommodate the rigid structure of syntax, grammar, and semantics normally used in communications with a computer. A computer program human interaction dialog is customized by detecting a need of the computer program to present knowledge to a user in human perceptible form and providing options of grammar and semantics for describing the knowledge. These options of grammar and semantics are presented as a choice to the user. The user's choice is saved for later use when the knowledge itself is presented.
