Web-Based Property Comparison

Dear smart people.  The following is the tool that I want.  Where may I find it?  Or who can build it for me?  Thank you!

Property Comparison Tool - REQUIREMENTS

1. Easy Input: Ability for the user to type in (or paste in) a property address, in a single field, so it gets instantly added to the comparison list. Example Inputs: "145 E Harmon Ave # 2511 Las Vegas, NV 89109" OR "134 NE Madison Cir N St. Petersburg, FL 33702"

2. Data Retrieval: Based on the address pasted in, the website should automatically pull in available data from Zillow (or the MLS) or both (ideally). For example, given an address, the Tool must automatically find the Sales Price, Square Feet, # of bedrooms, # of baths, Appreciation Forecast, etc.

3. Calculations: Based on the available data, the tool should instantly calculate metrics such as the following: $/SqFt, $/Bedroom, Average Price in Zip Code, Price as % of Zip Code, Gross Rent Expected, Gross Income Multiplier, etc.

4. Comparison: The tool must color code each data cell similar to what Microsoft Excel does, using the Conditional Formatting - Color Scales - Red/White/Green. This will make it visually easier to compare the real estate rows added.

5. Sorting: It must be possible to sort the properties added by any column.  Ideally it should be possible to sort by multiple columns, similar to what is available via Microsoft Excel - Sort & Filter - Custom Sort - Add Level.

6. Buy vs Rent Mode: The tool must support "Buy Mode" and "Rent Mode". In Buy mode, the tool would pull in values such as the Listed Price of each property. In Rent mode, the tool would pull in the asking Rent Price per month and other relevant data.

7. Notes: The tool must allow arbitrary notes to be added to each record, or, ideally, to each cell.
