Advanced IDX

You are here:
< Back

Advanced IDX is a much more robust search, similar to searching on the actual MLS. Users can search by hundreds of different fields that your MLS offers.  Our programmers can add additional search fields (or even take some away that you don’t want). You also provide users the ability to do other types of searches, like a Listing ID Search, Map Search, Address Search or even just Basic.

How much does Advanced IDX Cost?

The price depends on your MLS – please refer to our MLS Coverage page for current pricing.

After it has been installed, we have several options available for customization. Simply submit a Digital Customization Request with what you want and we’ll take care of it for you. Many of these options can be set for you at no additional cost. For larger requests, we’ll be sure to quote you before doing any work.

FAQs:

Can I Add/Remove Fields from the Advanced Search?

Yes, we can easily add/remove fields from the advanced search for you. Adding fields depends on availability from your MLS feed. Keep in mind that while we can remove advanced fields, removing core fields could cause layout issues. The video above goes over core vs. advanced fields.
