2. The method of claim 1 further comprising automatically re-adjusting the route of the user to drive by the set of properties when the user deviates from an originally computed route that was based on a previous location of the user.

3. The method of claim 1 further comprising processing the set of marketed properties based on the user interest and the plurality of property databases to compile a meta-data of the set of marketed properties to present the set of marketed properties to the user in an organized format enabling the user to utilize the route in an efficient manner.

4. The method of claim 3 further comprising generating and continuously updating a graphical representation of a plurality of positioning information of the set of marketed properties with respect to a real time geographical location indicating the present location of the user determined through a global positioning system that is wirelessly communicated by the client module to the server module.

5. The method of claim 1 further comprising automatically retrieving property information of the at least one other marketed property proximal to the geographical location indicating the present location of the user determined through a global positioning system and communicated by the client module to the server module.

6. The method of claim 5 further comprising providing a one click access to retrieve information of the at least one other marketed property comprising textual attributes of a pricing data, a size data, an age data, graphical representations having pictures, sketches, architectural blue prints, and a virtual tour of the at least one other marketed property.

7. The method of claim 6 further comprising interactively modifying the route to incorporate directions to the at least one other marketed property through communicating with the plurality of property databases and continuously updating a distance between the geographical location of the user indicating the present location of the user and each marketed property that is indicated of interest of the user.

12. The method of claim 7 further comprising generating an optimal appointment schedule of the user to tour the marketed property through interactively incorporating any of a real estate professional and a user'"'"'s schedules through accessing the plurality of property databases and cross referencing the real estate professional'"'"'s and the user'"'"'s schedules.

8. A method of a server module, comprising:

automatically identifying a set of marketed properties that have a plurality of characteristics similar to a particular property having close proximity to a geographical location of a user indicating a present location of the user that is wirelessly communicated by a client module to the server module; and

scheduling an appointment between the user and a real estate professional to expedite a tour of the particular property of the set of marketed properties based on a property information of the particular property automatically retrievable from at least one of a plurality of property databases through a communication between the client module to the server module.

9. The method of claim 8 further comprising processing the plurality of characteristics similar to the particular property and generating an identifier data based on a meta-data of the particular property and identifying another set of marketed properties having a similar set of characteristics based on a correlation of the identifier data.

10. The method of claim 9 further comprising identifying another set of marketed properties having the similar set of characteristics that is located within a particular distance from the geographic location of the user indicating the user'"'"'s present location through a computation model based on a mathematical algorithm having a parameter that accounts for a distance between the user and each marketed property.

11. The method of claim 10 further comprising incorporating a direction to an another set of marketed properties having the similar set of characteristics to a route to arrive at a marketed properties of interest to the user based on the geographical location indicating the present location of the user.

13. A method of a client module, comprising:

identifying a present location of a user of the client module based on a positioning information provided through a global positioning system of the client module;

providing an optimal route computed through a server module of at least one selected property of a plurality of marketed properties indicated of interest to the user of the client module;

providing detailed information of the at last one selected marketed property through a communication of a geographical location of the client module with the server module to facilitate the server module in retrieving a property information of a marketed property of close proximal distance to the user of the client module; and

generating an interactive interface that enables the user of the client module to initiate a plurality of requests to the server module via wireless communication.

14. The method of claim 13 wherein the plurality of requests comprise of at least one of the property information retrieval, the optimal route, a similar property search, and an appointment schedule.

15. The method of claim 14 further comprising determining the geographical location of the user of the client module indicating the present location of the user of the client module when the similar property search request is generated by the user of the client module and the geographical location of the user of the client module indicating the present location of the user of the client module is communicated to the server module.

16. The method of claim 13 further comprising generating an interactive graphical representation of the optimal route provided by the server module based on the geographical location of the user of the client module indicating the present location of the user of the client module that is determined by the global positioning system.
