A network enabled system and method for transacting property sales and rentals without a real estate agent. The method provides a network, accessible to a property seller, a buyer, a landlord, and a renter. The network facilitates a property transaction for property between the buyer and the seller, such that a real estate agent is not required. The system matches a seller of a real estate property with a potential buyer through the network. The seller can display the property on the network. The system allows the buyer to indicate desired property criteria. The seller and buyer review each other personal information, property records, and property criteria to determine if the property is appropriate for buyer. The seller and the buyer communicate directly and in real time on the network. This open communication negates the need to use the agent. The method also provides directions that facilitate the transaction. |
