What Is IDX?

IDX Basics

IDX is for the Public – it is what people want to see when they visit a real estate website
The #1 reason someone visits a real estate site is to find Listings
- If a visitor does not find listings on your site, they will go someplace else
75% of home sales begin with an Internet Search. People who use the Internet:
- Are more likely to use an Agent when ready to buy
- Traditionally spend more money on a property
- Will usually work with the first Agent they contact

Question: Why should I pay for this IDX system when I can get something free from my Board?
- Answer: Generic IDX is not brandable, includes links to other sites and is not customized for any individual agent. It is designed for ALL agents and represents all interests. You are wasting money if you’re investing in a website and marketing, but offering tools that don’t promote your name and brand and don’t offer Lead Capture.
Question: Why should I choose MyAgentHost over another IDX provider?
- Answer: Other IDX providers offer a comparatively “stripped down” set of website tools. One provider may offer some tools and another may offer other tools, but only MyAgentHost provides a comprehensive tool set. Other providers may seem to charge less, but they will quickly tack-on extra charges for usage or “special” features. MyAgentHost includes all features in your package with no hidden charges.
Question: what is this really going to add to my site?
- Answer: MyAgentHost isn’t just about adding listings to your site. The tools provide a full Lead Capture Solution allowing you to stay in continuous contact with your leads, constantly updating them and exposing them to your name and brand. You can track all your subscriber activity so that you always know who is still browsing and who is getting ready to make a move. Listing management allows you to maximize your own listings with minimum effort.
