IDX Websites 101

October 17 2014

home cell laptopIDX or Internet Data Exchange is sometimes referred to as "broker reciprocity." IDX is a set of business rules that allows agents and brokers to display another participating broker's listings on their website. In exchange, they agree to allow other participants to display their listings.

IDX-enabled sites let consumers search local listings right from your agent homepage. IDX sites are by far the most popular option for real estate websites, perhaps due to their low time and effort threshold. Today, most solutions are "turnkey," meaning that they're already set-up and ready to deploy. Your only necessary involvement is to adjust the product to your needs--adding an agent or company bio, for example, or customizing email templates.

The cost of IDX lead generation sites can vary based on the solution you choose. Some products come with features like a built-in CRM, drip marketing, virtual tours, and lead capture capabilities to help you manage your leads more effectively. Decide which tools are most important to you before choosing a solution.
