IDX Provider Reviews

Real Estate Webmasters Overview

DISCLAIMER: The information below is just my opinion to be deemed accurate but not guaranteed. I am a former consultant of one of these companies and know more about that solution than the others. My apologies upfront if any information is out dated. Also, this is not meant to be an exhaustive “end all be all” comparison here. I’m simply focusing on some key areas that I think are important to discuss with prospective buyers.

Strengths

Powerful, stylish and highly customizable search that includes satellite mapping
IDX & CMS is tightly integrated offering complete indexability of search results
Standard back office abilities for contact management, drip email and listing details
Offers a totally customized IDX option (if you really want it!)
Offers snippet ability to dynamically create search filters
Appears to have built in analytics for key measurement criteria
Technologically progressive
Appears to have high customer service remarks
Will integrate your local mls data at no charge

Weaknesses

Expensive compared to others
Agents ability to customize the IDX appears to be limited
Indexing ability of listing data requires you to use their website/blogsite platform
Search interface isn't guided and can lose some (less internet savvy) people with all the search options
RSS feeds of listing data don't appear to be available

Summary & Conclusion

Very expensive and back office may not be as robust compared to others (need more time to evaluate). If you require a totally customized IDX for your project and have the resources to pay for it than they might be the right choice for you. They do offer an iFrame version as well.
