Real estate websites, most of you have one. You know, that amazing little place where consumers can go and find their next home. We'll call them IDX sites. IDX is how you get all those fancy listings from the MLS over to your website. It's a feed that allows you to display the listings from all the cooperating brokers in your MLS on your own website.
IDX websites come in all shapes and sizes. There are a ton of options available to you out there when deciding which company you want to provide your IDX website. From region to region and MLS to MLS those options vary. There are some major players in the IDX arena. These companies have coverage across the majority of MLS's in the country. In each region of the country there are more regional players. But I promise, if you are looking for a new IDX website, their are plenty of options.
We want you to tell us about your IDX.
Do you love it? Why? Do you have it? Why? Could you take it or leave it? Does it have every bell and whistle imaginable? Is it stripped down with the sole purpose being converting traffic into leads? Would you suggest it to everyone and anyone thinking about getting a new IDX website? Would you tell your closest friends to run for the hills and suggest it to your worst enemy?
No matter your take on your IDX provider, we'd like to hear about it. ActiveRain Product Reviews is a way for you to share your experience with the next person looking for a similar product.
