I need to create a database for my real estate company. Having as source some sites on the internet, which post free information about real estate deals, I want a program that will grab and sort this information in an efficient way.
The application should search for the interesting messages inside an internet site, according to some editable rules ("message selection rules"). When the messages were found, their text must be converted in values for the database fields, according to another set of editable rules ("text-to-values conversion rules").
A new site together with its rules should be possible to add later.
How you build this and what mixture of technologies you use is all up to you, as long as it will run at least on Windows XP SP2 and I will not grow old waiting for its result.
This is my first post on this kind of site, so I am no very accustomed with the prices of projects, but I am not willing to get this done for free. If you are serious, please send me a good estimate for this project, in both time and money, and I'll find a way to make this deal attractive for both of us.
Thank you for your interest and for your time spent so far.
