Abstract
A method of researching real estate properties online uses a local Rich Internet Application (RIA) to perform an online search through a real estate web service and stores the results of the search locally so that they may be accessed offline. The results of the search may be further used by a map web service to generate maps of, and driving directions between, selected properties, and this information may also be stored locally for offline retrieval.
