Abstract

A property leasing system comprises individual modules, including a transaction management application and a property database for storing data supplied by property providers and property users. A real-time interface is provided between the property leasing system database and a property provider'"'"'s in-house property management system to extract real time, time sensitive, targeted data available from the provider'"'"'s in-house property management system. The transaction management application is coupled with the interfaces to the in-house property management systems and the property database to utilize and update data stored in the database and the in-house property management system to automate a leasing cycle between a property provider and a property user.

Claims

1. An automated property leasing system, comprising:

a property database for storing data of property providers and property users, wherein at least one property provider and at least one property user are connected to said database via said network;

an interface coupled to said property database and coupled to an in-house property management system of said at least one property provider, said interface capable of extracting targeted data from said in-house property management system and capable of modifying said targeted data in said in-house property management system; and

a transaction management application comprising one or more computer executable modules, said transaction management application coupled to said property database and coupled to said network and capable of automating a leasing cycle between said property provider and said property user.

2. The automated property leasing system as set forth in

claim 1

wherein said transaction management application is capable of implementing all transactions necessary to the initiating, negotiating and completion steps to execute a lease document within said leasing cycle.

3. The automated property leasing system as set forth in

claim 1

, wherein said interface further comprises:

an interface application for extracting the contents of targeted fields in the provider'"'"'s in-house property management system, wherein said interface application is capable of formatting the extracted data for display;

responsive to a command from an authorized in-house property management system operator, said interface is capable of sending said extracted contents to said property database via said network; and

responsive to a completed leasing cycle, said interface application is capable of updating said property database and said in-house property management system.

4. The automated property leasing system as set forth in

claim 1

wherein said property information further comprises:

physical details of each available property;

photographic and video images of said available property;

demographic data of the neighborhood surrounding said available property;

traffic data in the neighborhood surrounding said available property; and

leasing terms of said available property.

5. The automated property leasing system as set forth in

claim 1

further comprising:

a module for generating all necessary documents to initiate, negotiate and complete said leasing cycle

a module for generating all correspondence necessary to initiate, negotiate and complete said leasing cycle.

6. The automated property leasing system as set forth in

claim 1

further comprising a module for designing and determining whether a selected space will fit the parameters of the user.

7. The automated property leasing system as set forth in

claim 1

further comprising:

a transaction database for storing transactions between said property user, said property provider and at least one broker; and

a collaboration database for storing communications between said property users, said property provider and said at least one broker.

13. The system for associating real estate owners and real estate users as set forth in

claim 1

further comprising a module for designing and determining whether a selected space will fit the parameters of the user.

14. The system for associating real estate owners and real estate users as set forth in

claim 1

further comprising:

a transaction database for storing transactions between said property user, said property provider and at least one broker; and

a collaboration database for storing communications between said property user, said property provider and said at least one broker a module for generating all correspondence necessary to initiate, negotiate and complete a lease cycle.

8. An automated real estate property leasing system for use in a network, comprising:

a property database for storing data of property providers and property users, wherein at least one property provider and at least one property user are connected to said database via said network;

an interface coupled to said property database and coupled to an in-house property management system of said at least one property provider, said interface capable of extracting targeted data from said in-house property management system and capable of modifying said targeted data in said in-house property management system; and

a transaction management application comprising one or more computer executable modules, said transaction management application coupled to said property database and coupled to said network and capable of automating a leasing cycle between said property provider and said property user.

9. The automated real estate property leasing for use in a network as set forth in

claim 8

wherein said transaction management application is capable of implementing all transactions necessary to the initiating, negotiating and completion steps to execute a lease document within said leasing cycle.

10. The automated real estate property leasing system for use in a network system as set forth in

claim 8

wherein said property information further comprises:

physical details of each available property;

photographic and video images of said available property;

demographic data of the neighborhood surrounding said available property;

traffic data in the neighborhood surrounding said available property; and

leasing terms of said available property.

11. The system for associating real estate owners and real estate users procedures as set forth in

claim 8

, wherein said interface further comprises:

an interface application for extracting the contents of targeted fields in the provider'"'"'s in-house property management system, wherein said interface application is capable of formatting the extracted data for display;
