Abstract

A novel system and method for locating real estate properties for potential purchase including a graphical locator interface which permits definition of a desired area for search by placing of a user-controlled selector on a map displayed on a CRT. Additional search qualifications including price, type of structure and others are also specified. The completed specification is then transmitted to a host system and is used for a search of a database of available properties.
