A Custom IDX Solution Speeds Up the Online Real Estate Search Process, Saving Realtors and Consumers Time

Eugene, OR, November 08, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Ian Armstrong with Armstrong Real Estate has chosen to employ IDX, Inc. to alter the search function of his real estate website, creating a much more modern, advanced and user-friendly online property search process for his website visitors. This innovative Internet Data Exchange (IDX) solution has the technology to extract raw listing data details from both the Information and Real Estate Services MLS (IRES) and the Metrolist- Denver MLS (MTOMLS), and then formats the information to be viewed as a seamlessly integrated and easily searchable part of Armstrong's site. Home seekers residing in Fort Collins, Colorado and its surrounding areas are then granted access to an abundant amount of the most up-to-date property listing information on the web, and all without ever being redirected from Armstrong's website.

Five unique search options are available for consumers browsing pleasure, those being: basic, advanced, map, address and listing ID. The most comprehensive of the search functions, being the advanced search, enables prospective home buyers to view literally every aspect and detail of a home, including everything from the number of rooms, to the landscaping, to the flooring type and even the heating/ cooling system, aiding to narrow their search results, weeding out having to view properties that do not match their preferences. Consumers then have the option to save their specified search criteria and receive automatic email updates the moment a property matching their specifications becomes available on either the IRES or the MTOMLS.

Armstrong has access to his website visitors saved search information, via and administrative login page, where he can learn the ins, outs, and personalities of each client, helping to create a more personalized search experience for each individual. It is here that he can not only edit his custom CSS and global wrappers, developing a sense of personalization and unique branding throughout each listings page of his website, but he can also receive daily MLS updates from the MTOMLS and the IRES, regarding property additions and removals, as well as price increase and decreases. Each of these resources aide Armstrong in creating an overall more efficiently managed online real estate business, which will in turn generate more revenue.
