Abstract
Methods, apparatuses, and computer-readable media for a networked platform for searching for a property are provided. The method can include receiving and storing a plurality of property features, a plurality of privacy features, and a plurality of user features; generating a private interface based on the plurality of property features, the private interface comprising a property post based on the plurality of property features; associating the privacy features and the user features; and revealing the property post to the second user in the private interface such that the property post is visible to the second user in the private interface.
Claims20
A method executed by one or more computing devices of searching for a real estate property based on matching user, privacy, and property features, the method comprising:
- receiving, from a general user, via at least one processor of the one or more computing devices, a plurality of property features corresponding to a property, the plurality of property features comprising a general user characteristic corresponding to the general user, a gallery characteristic corresponding to one or more images of the property, a property type characteristic corresponding to a property usage for the property, a looked-for user characteristic corresponding to a second user, and a looked-for resource characteristic corresponding to the second user;
- storing, via the at least one processor, the plurality of property features corresponding to the property in a database;
- receiving, from the general user, via the at least one processor, a plurality of privacy features corresponding to the property and the general user, the plurality of privacy features comprising a first visibility characteristic corresponding to the looked-for user type characteristic and a second visibility characteristic corresponding to the looked-for resource characteristic;
- storing, via the at least one processor, the plurality of privacy features corresponding to the property in the database;
- receiving, from the second user, via the at least one processor, a plurality of second user features corresponding to the second user, at least one of the plurality of the second user features comprising a second user type characteristic and a second user resource characteristic;
- storing, via the at least one processor, the plurality of second user features corresponding to the second user in the database;
- determining, via the at least one processor, the second user is an acceptable second user based on (i) associating the stored plurality of privacy features with the stored plurality of property features in the database, (ii) associating the first visibility characteristic with the second user type characteristic, and (iii) associating the second visibility characteristic with the second user resource characteristic;
- generating, via the at least one processor, a private interface based on the plurality of property features, the private interface configured to facilitate connection between the general user and the acceptable second user for capitalizing a deal regarding the property, the private interface comprising a marketplace tab and a separate watchlist tab, the marketplace tab comprising at least one icon for a property post based on the plurality of property features, the property post icon on the private interface being visible to the acceptable second user for a predetermined period of time, wherein after the predetermined period of time the property post icon is not visible if a precondition is satisfied, the plurality of privacy features configured to limit visibility of the property post icon in the private interface such that-only the acceptable second user is able to view the property post icon in order to maintain privacy for the deal;
- determining, via the at least one processor, the acceptable second user saved the property post icon on the marketplace tab;
- and
- transposing, via the at least one processor, the property post icon from the marketplace tab to the watchlist tab, wherein the property post icon is removed from the watchlist tab such that the property post icon is not visible in the watchlist tab to the acceptable second user if the precondition is satisfied.

An apparatus for searching for a real estate property based on matching user, privacy, and property features comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more memories coupled to at least one of the one or more processors, the one or more memories comprising computer readable instructions stored thereon that, when executed by at least one of the one or more processors, cause at least one of the one or more processors to:
- receive, from a general user, a plurality of property features corresponding to a property, the plurality of property features comprising a general user characteristic corresponding to the general user, a gallery characteristic corresponding to one or more images of the property, a property type characteristic corresponding to a property usage for the property, a looked-for user characteristic corresponding to a second user, and a looked-for resource characteristic corresponding to the second user;
- store the plurality of property features corresponding to the property in a database;
- receive, from the general user, a plurality of privacy features corresponding to the property and the general user, the plurality of privacy features comprising a first visibility characteristic corresponding to the looked-for user type characteristic and a second visibility characteristic corresponding to the looked-for resource characteristic;
- store the plurality of privacy features corresponding to the property in the database;
- receive, from the second user, a plurality of second user features corresponding to the second user, at least one of the plurality of the second user features comprising a second user type characteristic and a second user resource characteristic;
- store the plurality of second user features corresponding to the second user in the database;
- determine the second user is an acceptable second user based on (i) associating the stored plurality of privacy features with the stored plurality of property features in the database, (ii) associating the first visibility characteristic with the second user type characteristic, and (iii) associating the second visibility characteristic with the second user resource characteristic;
- generate a private interface based on the plurality of property features, the private interface configured to facilitate connection between the general user and the acceptable second user for capitalizing a deal regarding the property, the private interface comprising a marketplace tab and a separate watchlist tab, the marketplace tab comprising at least one icon for a property post based on the plurality of property features, the property post icon on the private interface being visible to the acceptable second user for a predetermined period of time, wherein after the predetermined period of time the property post icon is not visible if a precondition is satisfied, the plurality of privacy features configured to limit visibility of the property post icon in the private interface such that the acceptable second user is able to view the property post icon in order to maintain privacy for the deal;
- determine, via the at least one processor, the acceptable second user saved the property post icon on the marketplace tab;
- and
- transpose the property post icon from the marketplace tab to the watchlist tab, wherein the property post icon is removed from the watchlist tab such that the property post icon is not visible in the watchlist tab to the acceptable second user if the precondition is satisfied.
