I see some negative reviews and I am sure the issues were real because of the recent upgrade to IDX broker platinum. Based on personal experience, it is a fact that any upgrade is going to have challenges but this IDX program is very good and it works well. It seems that the majority of the bugs are worked out or currently being addressed. I was able to administer IDX broker without hiring a developer; however, I am very comfortable with basic web site set up and I built my own site with a template; mainsailrealty.com. I do not know HTML. I signed up and within a couple of days, they had my IDX site set up Creating links and new SEO optimized pages is super easy. (Just create a saved search link). This program is not hosted on your site but it has the appearance of your web site and your customers will probably not know the difference. I actually like the fact that it is a subdomain not on my site because my site ranks well and I don't want to mess with that. This is like having a new site that looks and feels just like your existing site. Think in terms of links with this program and you will be good. You can have all links in a page or a menu on your site can be a link to the IDX broker IDX search page. Here is the deal, I checked many of the non custom or semi custom IDX programs and feel that this is the best option. With IDX broker platinum you have advanced search fields so it is easy to set up searches for types of WaterFront, neighborhood, price ranges, days on market, school zone, etc, etc, etc. The look of the pages seems to be better than most. Also, the customer management side is very powerful. If all you need is a basic or advanced mls search page where your customers input all of the parameters, there is probably a cheaper option but if you want to create hyper local pages, this is a great option without going for the super expensive custom IDX. I have to give their customer service an A+ because they are very nice and easy to get in touch with and they have quickly answered my questions. I hope this helps.
