IDX Search Forms

Map Search

Another search option available within the IDX software is the map search page. This page gives your users the ability to search using a dynamic map tool instead of traditional search forms.

You have total control over the center point and you can make the viewable map as big or as small as you want using the custom CSS options.

Users can even use the drag and select tool within the IDX map search interface to go directly to a specific area of interest. All search options are dynamic on this feature, so if users select a different price range or number of bedrooms, the map will automatically show active listings in that area that meet the specific criteria the user is looking for.

Combined with our custom links generator, you can create an unlimited number of map search pages all with different center points and default search criteria. Great for websites that have a lot of community or subdivision focused pages, now you can send those users to a specific area on the map and let them search using the visual search tools.

• Visual search tool
• Expandable size
• Customize views
• Drag and select zoom tools

Basic IDX Search

Basic or Quick Search on your home page can be done in two ways. You can add a Quick Search form to your home page, and/or add a menu link to your IDX Broker Basic Search page. Both methods, clean and simple. Easy to use.

This Basic Search form also features in-line links to Advanced, Map, Address, and Listing Search.

Designers have access to CSS tools that move form input boxes, hide links to other Search forms, add background graphics, change fonts and more.

Advanced IDX Search – Find MLS/IDX Listings

The advanced search page gives you all the search options you could ever need, including the ability to display all of the searchable fields that are made available from your MLS.

Using the latest in Web 2.0 admin tools, you can use the drag and drop feature to layout this page any way you want. The easy to use Advanced Search page management tool is all controlled within the IDX Control Panel.

You can also determine what type of search function you want to display with that specific data field. For example, let’s say your specific MLS provides a field for the number of garages. You can choose to have that field display as a list, keyword search, minimum or maximum value or even both. You can even change the name of the category label if you don’t prefer the MLS provided label.

This will also allow users to search for all listings on a specific street, great for condo searches or popular areas and street names.

Just like all the other types of searches you can create pre-defined search criteria and add it to an existing page on you website that may focus on a specific area or street.

Provide one-click access to your most popular areas, search criteria and/or property types that you service.

For example, if you are an expert in luxury condominiums in Miami Beach, you can easily create custom links that drive users all the active listings for a specific condo complex that are over $1m.

With custom links, the only limitation is your imagination and the data available from your specific MLS.

• Pre-defined search listings are search engine friendly
• Build landing pages for your online marketing campaigns.

Keyword Results

What if your MLS doesn’t offer specific foreclosure, bank-owned, REO, or short sale fields?

Easy – Leverage IDX Broker’s keyword results tool.

With this tool you can easily create an unlimited number of Foreclosure, Bank Owned-REO, and other results pages. Each page pulls only those properties that match your MLS [Remarks] field keywords.

Note: Keyword results are limited to keyword availability via IDX/MLS. Please contact IDX, Inc or your local MLS for more information regarding availability.

• Build custom listings that can help generate search traffic.
• Attract foreclosure buyers to your website

Predefined Map Search

Also available through the custom links feature within the IDX Control Panel, you now have the ability to create pre-defined geographical locations for users to go to in order to find the property they are looking for. 

This is a great tool to include on your custom neighborhood or city landing pages. This allows you to give your users the choice to search by map or go directly to a results page for the area you have pre-defined. It’s also a fun way for your visitors to search using a visual mapping tool, instead of a standard search page.

• Create easy to find neighborhood Map Search pages.
• Advanced: Add neighborhood statistics to your listings via CSS and customization.

Predefined Address Links

Do you have a specific address that always has a lot of listings, such as popular condominiums or developments that share a primary address? Many times the MLS data is not as specific as you would like, in this case it might be better to create a predefined custom results page based on address, instead of condo or development name.

This will create a search engine friendly link for you to use on your website so users can go directly to the active listings for a specific address in one-click!

• Attract condo buyers to your site.
• Attract urban buyers.

Predefined IDX or MLS Search Results

Similar to the predefined address search tool, the MLS listing number search allows you to generate a custom results page for up to 25 individual MLS listings identified by their specific MLS number.

This is a handy tool for giving your users one-click direct access to specific listings that you have individually identified for a specific reason and use. This feature is also available on an unlimited basis, so you are not limited by the number of pre-defined links you can create using this feature.

• Display listings that match a targeted customer profile.
• Build trust with lists of sold or pending sale listings

No problem, there is no extra fee for adding additional offices, multi-user pricing is based only on the number of active users (agents with listings), not the number of offices. Of course, this page is completely customizable using the custom CSS tools available, you can showcase your agents all on one page or break them down by office location.

Whether your team is large or small, the agent roster page is a great way to feature your individual agent listings and contact information, giving your agents great value-added features directly on the company website. Each agent also has the ability to login to their own account where they can manage their own bio information, system generated leads, email notifications, contact information and individual account preferences. As the administrator on this account, you have the ability to assign leads, view activity and manage access credentials on an individual or global basis.

Some of the built in advantages of using the agent roster is the display of the agent information on all agent listings. When users view a detail page from an agent in your office, that agent’s contact information, head shot and other related information with automatically display inline on that detail page. In addition to the custom display on the detail page, any leads generated from those listings will be automatically routed to that agent, unless you have other contract routing rules set.

Agent Bio Pages

Tied to the agent roster page on your multi-user account, the agent bio page gives your agents their own personal place to call home on your team, office or corporate website.

Of course, you can always override this default preference if you want to and have all leads sent to you; it’s completely up to you! 

Not only do agents get their own login, management over their own leads and custom email updates, but if they also add an HTML header in their account, that header will display on all pages users visit if they start directly on that agent’s bio page. This gives agents the ability to redirect a custom domain name directly to their bio page without the fear of losing a lead or their branding by sending web users directly to their IDX driven bio page. A great retention and recruiting tool for those offices that cater to agents that are web savvy and looking for an office with all the bells and whistles.
