    receiving, by the mobile device, user input that specifies filter parameters for one or more of the interactive filter elements, the user input specifying a value or range of values for at least one of the physical characteristics of real estate properties;

    sending, by the mobile device, the filter parameters to a server system in association with user identification data that identifies a user of the mobile device, the filter parameters indicating the specified value or range of values for the at least one of the physical characteristics of the real estate properties;

    detecting, by the mobile device, a plurality of beacons by receiving a wireless message from each of the beacons, each of the wireless messages including an identifier for the beacon that transmitted the wireless message, each of the beacons corresponding to a different real estate property and being located at the corresponding real estate property;

    extracting, by the mobile device, the identifiers for the beacons from the wireless messages;

    transmitting, by the mobile device, the extracted identifiers for the beacons to the server system;

    receiving, by the mobile device, displayable messages from the server system for at least some of the extracted identifiers; and

    based on the filter parameters and data indicating characteristics of the real estate properties where the beacons are located, displaying, by the mobile device, at least one displayable message of the displayable messages received by the server system, wherein the mobile device displays the at least one displayable message while the mobile device is in a detection range to receive the wireless message from the beacon corresponding to the at least one displayable message.
