1. A method of retrieving location-centric information, comprising:
- identifying a geographic location from a plurality of geographic locations within a base grid using an electronic device, the base grid being defined by a plurality of volumes, the volumes defining the plurality of geographic locations within the base grid;
identifying a property associated with the geographic location;
querying a database based on data associated with the property, the geographic location being associated with a location of the electronic device, and the database including information associated with at least some of the plurality of the geographic locations within the base grid;
receiving directly from the database a data set associated with the identified property, the data set including a selectable icon associated with making a bid; and
transmitting data associated with a selection of the icon associated with making a bid.
