System and method for collection, distribution, and use of information in connection with commercial real estate

A system for collecting, distributing, and using real estate data comprising:

• (a) data sources that gather and generate the real estate data;
• (b) data mining applications in communication with the data sources, wherein the data mining applications receive and organize the real estate data into separate interrelated modules, and wherein the data mining applications evaluate the real estate data and reconcile the real estate data among the interrelated modules;
• (c) a contact management system in communication with the data sources and the data mining applications, wherein the contact management system directs data mining applications to conduct continuous pollings of the data sources to update the real estate data;
• (d) a core data warehouse in communication with the data mining applications, wherein the core data warehouse receives and stores the reconciled and updated real estate data from the data mining applications;
• (e) database processes in communication with the core data warehouse, wherein the database processes access the reconciled and updated real estate data from the core data warehouse and create database sets;
• (f) network integration applications in communication with the database processes, wherein the network integration applications manipulate the database sets in response to commands from a user and present results of the manipulation to the user;
• and
• (g) a mobile information collection device that provides functions of the data sources and the network integration applications, the mobile information collection device comprising
• a global positioning system that determines a location of the mobile information collection device;
• an output device in communication with the database processes and the global positioning system, wherein the output device reads the location provided by the global positioning system, and retrieves and displays the database sets corresponding to the location;
• and
• a data input device that receives changes to the database sets corresponding to the location and transmits the changes to the data mining applications.

A system for collecting, distributing, and using real estate data comprising:

• (a) data mining applications adapted to receive real estate data, organize the real estate data into separate interrelated modules, and reconcile the real estate data among the interrelated modules;
• (b) a contact management system in communication the data mining applications, wherein the contact management system is adapted to direct the data mining applications to poll the data sources and update the real estate data;
• (c) a core data warehouse in communication with the data mining applications, wherein the core data warehouse is adapted to store the reconciled and updated real estate data;
• (d) database processes in communication with the core data warehouse, wherein the database processes are adapted to access the reconciled and updated real estate data from the core data warehouse and create database sets;
• (e) network integration applications in communication with the database processes, wherein the network integration applications are adapted to present portions of the database sets to a user;
• and
• (f) a mobile information collection device, the mobile information collection device comprising
• a global positioning system that determines a location of the mobile information collection device;
• an output device in communication with the database processes and the global positioning system, wherein the output device reads the location provided by the global positioning system, and retrieves and displays the database sets corresponding to the location;
• and
• a data input device that receives changes to the database sets corresponding to the location and transmits the changes to the data mining applications.
