The marketplace may incorporate a platform and/or application (app) operable to provide a user with one or more functions for a real estate process. The marketplace may be integrated with blockchain whereby secured blockchain-based ledger structures are generated to facilitate a secured and traceable real estate process. Users of the marketplace may include buyers, sellers, agents and/or other service providers. Each type of user will experience a different flow of options and steps in accordance with the activities of said user in a real estate process. Agents and other service providers compete to provide services to buyers and seller users in a real estate process. The choice of agent and other service providers, the services to be provided, and the fees for such services relating to the real estate process are all driven by the buyer and seller users. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A real estate process marketplace method, comprising utilizing a real estate marketplace system for the steps of: a. one or more users each generating a profile in the real estate marketplace system, and the following steps of: i. one of the one or more users that is a first user generating a proposal and making the proposal available via the real estate marketplace system to one or more other users;
