Description

An online platform that provides real estate information {online platform that provides real estate information}

The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for operating a reverse auction service of real estate for sale. In detail, when a user inputs conditions for a real estate sale that a user wants to bid, and brokers suggest appropriate real estate for sale, it relates to a service for recommending an appropriate real estate sale to a user among the proposed real estate sales.

In general, a reverse auction is a consumer-oriented commerce in which a consumer can purchase an item at the lowest price by competing with a supplier, unlike a general auction. In particular, in real estate transactions, reverse auction not only saves the buyer (or consumer) from having to visit various real estate brokers for price comparison or good sale, but also has the fun of bargaining when the price falls.

In general, reverse auctions are developed only in Internet shopping malls. A person who wants to use a reverse auction first finds a website specializing in reverse auction on the Internet, examines product information, and decides on a product to purchase, then enters the bidding board and registers the product model name, quantity, and his or her e-mail address. They visit the bulletin board from time to time to check the prices offered by companies, and after the auction closes, they check the lowest successful bid price through their e-mail, and then make electronic payments or remittances.
