BILLING A LISTER FOR LEADS RECEIVED FROM POTENTIAL RENTERS WITHIN A LEAD THRESHOLD
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- setting a lead threshold for a lister, the lead threshold specifying a maximum number of leads relating to a property listing to be communicated to the lister;
receiving a lead from potential renters, the lead relating to the property listing;
automatically determining whether the lead threshold has been exceeded;
based on a determination that the lead threshold has not been exceeded, communicating the lead to the lister; and
billing the lister according to a number of leads related to the property listing communicated to the lister.

Abstract
In some example embodiments, a system and method are illustrated to bill a lister for lead received from potential renters within a lead threshold. The system and method include setting a lead threshold for a lister. The lead threshold may specify a maximum number of leads relating to a property listing that will be communicated to the lister. The system and method include receiving a lead from potential renters. The lead may be related to the property listing associated with the lister. The system and method include automatically determining whether the lead threshold has been exceeded. The system and method include communicating the lead to the lister based on a determination that the lead threshold has not been exceeded. The system and method further include billing the lister according to a number of leads related to the property listing communicated to the lister.
