The system is a real estate catalogue. It will keep track of a large
number of property listings. The system will provide users with a convenient
way to display information about listings, and give real-time exposure of
listings to the whole market. A listing contains the following information:
- Picture of property
- Location (address, description of view)
- Style (bungalow, split-level etc.)
- Square footage
- Status (sold, new, hold)
- Price
- Amenities
- Number of baths
- Number of bedrooms
- Appliances included
- Garage(s)/parking facilities
- Basement (finished/not)
- Lot size
- Listing agent
- ID number for listing
- Age of house
- Description
- Owner info
- Listing realtors comments
- Offers made
The system is designed with four different types of users in mind:
Customers, Realtors(Listing and Other), and Administrators.
Customers are potential buyers/sellers of properties. They can display
all information on a listing with the exception of the owners info,
the listing agent's comments and the offers made. The ability to search
the data base for all listings that satisfy given requirements is vital.
For example, a customer might want to view all listings that are between
$100,000 and $150,000; are in the North West; and have an attached garage.
An important feature of this system is a map of the city that will
enable users choose the quadrant of the city they wish to view listings in.
In terms of searching the catalogue, realtors have the same needs as
customers.
When a realtor is viewing a listing that is not their own they are
considered to be an Other Realtor. Other Realtors need access
to the owners info and the listers comments.
When a Realtor is viewing a property that they have listed, they are
the Listing Realtor. They need access to the offers made and the ability
to update any info on the listing.
The administrator maintains the system. This involves the ability to
enter, view, change and delete all info on the system including listing
information, agent information, and seller information, as well as the
ability to archive, back up and restore information to and from long-term
secondary storage.
The system will include a network of personal computers connected to one
or more servers. Colour scanners, a colour laser printer, an
exabyte tape streamer, are required. Touch screens are required for
Customer use.
