DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0010] In the following detailed description, reference will be made to the attached drawings in which:

[0011] FIG. 1 is a general block flow diagram of the system and process for connection of buyers to buyer agents of the present invention described herein;

[0012] FIG. 2 is a more detailed block flow diagram of the system and process for connection of buyers to buyer agents of the present invention described herein; and

[0013] FIG. 3 are charts illustrating the type of information that would comprise the database of Buyer/Seller and Buyer's Agents in the computer networks of the real estate host and system.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0014] Discussing the process of the buyer/buyer agent's connection system of the present invention, reference is made to the flow diagram of FIG. 1. The process begins with a prospective buyer opening his or her App 1 on a device, such as a smart phone, tablet, laptop or desktop computer and connecting to a host of the process. Once in the app, the prospective buyer registers with the host and completes a profile. Prospective buyers are prequalified or vetted according to predetermined criteria. Once registration has been completed, then the Buyer is provided with information on properties in a desired area for sale by sellers, such as a multiple listing service, who have preregistered with the host 1. Then the buyer is connected to data on available buyer's agents in the desired area who have also preregistered with the host and provided a profile 2. After reviewing the profile the buyer then selects a buyer's agent 3 to work with in seeing a desired property after which the buyer and selected buyer's agent are connected 4.

[0015] Referring now to FIG. 2, a more detailed block diagram of the process and system is illustrated. As discussed above after a buyer has connected with the host and registered the host 11 provides information on homes 12 in various zip codes matching the desires and requests of the buyer at 6. Then at 7, the buyer reviews the profiles 14 of available buyer's agents provided by the host. Next at 8 the buyer selects an agent 15. Once the selection is confirmed 9 then the buyer 5 and agent 15 are connected live.

[0016] FIG. 3 illustrates the registration profiles that prospective buyers and sellers 16 and buyer's agents 17 would provide to the host in order to use the system.

[0017] A typical scenario of someone interested in buying a home and starting with conventional real estate websites and then discovering the above system and process might be as follows: Mr. Jones is ready to purchase a home. Therefore, he started searching for properties on other real estate websites, such as Zillow, Realtors, etc. and after searching for hours came across some beautiful potential homes around his price range, but he is not sure if those properties are still available or sales pending. Thus, Mr. Jones is becoming discouraged in his search. Fortunately, he comes across the website and application for this system and after registering with the host he is able to plug in the home address or addresses and can see for himself if the homes are active or pending. In addition he gets a list of real estate brokers who have registered with the host who are currently available to show him the property the same day. He can then review the credentials of the agents and can click on the agent he likes. Once confirmed Mr. Jones automatically receives a call from the agent to discuss the desired property. Now, Mr. Jones can just sit and relax while the agent gathers all the information for him and schedules the showing. Both Mr. Jones and the agent have benefited as Mr. Jones will no longer have to stress about finding properties on his own and the selected buyer's agent benefits from the system by obtaining a qualified buyer.

[0018] It is to be understood that while a preferred embodiment of the invention is described, it is not to be limited to the specific form or arrangement of parts herein described and shown. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes may be made without departing from the scope of the invention and the invention is not to be considered limited to what is shown and described in the specification and/or drawings.
