A system and process includes a computer that is operatively connected to the Internet. A database of MLS properties that are for sale is maintained that is accessible to the computer. Real estate agents must subscribe in order to use the system and are then included in the database. Clients may be either prospective buyers or sellers of the MLS properties. Each client is required to complete a client commitment form whereby the client elects to have a currently subscribing real estate agent represent them before they are allowed access to the information and services provided. Real estate agents may view any of the client'"'"'s files and activities and post upcoming MLS properties that are to be offered for sale and to FAX property defects to other real estate agents.
