One of the things I have noticed in my 9+ years in the real estate industry is that an enormous number of home buyers are looking for just one thing early in the home buying process. That one thing they are looking for is a way to search for homes online. Luckily Realtors can take advantage of this by utilizing something called a Website IDX (Internet Data Exchange). Many Agents and Offices have this available for agents, but in many cases they are not taking full advantage of what you can do with and IDX. The biggest thing I am seeing agents not doing is getting an IDX that is indexable by the search engines. This goes a long way for SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and ultimately can help you get ranked in the search engines which means more traffic, more leads and more sales. I am putting together a website IDX solution for real estate agents that will maximize all of the benefits of IDX, combine it with a great looking website, and include training on various methods for generating tons of traffic and converting that traffic into leads. If you would like more information, please visit my Real Estate IDX website.

I purchased FlexMLS for my web site. It allows the consumer to search for FREE and at their leisure. Love IDX

Do you use any kind of forced registration?... My favorite method is to let them see 4-5 detailed pages and then force them to register...

We occasionally get leads who come in through one of our websites. My experience is that most people would rather search Zillow or other similar sites.
