IDX, RETS and VOW
Until Broker Reciprocity became available on January 1, 2001, the only way you could have a property search on your website was to frame Realtor.com or another national website. Previous to IDX you had choices and problems
And along came VOW. Recently, NAR introduced a second program that is very similar to IDX called VOW (Virtual Office Websites). This means that the site visitor signs in to see the listings. We log the site visitors as well as their contact info and the homes they looked at. With IDX solutions your site is updated with the latest listings automatically for you every 24 hours. NO more expired or stale listings, no more missing out on a sale because you forgot to post a new listing!
Thanks to the new rules you can now add your own personal MLS IDX Search to your website! This enables you to send your clients and visitors to your website to do home searching and know that they will contact YOU if they see a listing they are interested in! The only information your visitors will see about the listing agent is the name of their company! They will not see any contact information except yours! Remember that you only have to show the listing brokers name with an IDX site. YOU do not need to place any contact information other than your own (with IDX) as long as you are not trying to mislead the public into think in that this is your listing. We at RE-Data Software Solutions know how to present the data in such a way that you get the leads on all of our VOW or IDX sites. Does MY board participate in VOW or IDX? While
each MLS Board has its own policies regarding exactly how MLS listings
can be used on broker and agent websites, all MLS Boards are required
to participate in NAR's IDX and VOW programs. VOW2 is now optional. Just a few of the major MLS systems serving up millions of listings daily that
This list last updated June 2009. We are constantly adding new boards.
Stop buying leads... Generate your own with our own proprietary software that actually lets you know which homes are being looked at and by whom! Think about this! You are on the floor when a sales call comes in. Do you give all the info to the caller without getting any info back. Is this how you make a sale? Of course not! Then why give all the listing data to just anybody that wants to see your site? Doesn't it make more sense to get the name and phone of the people looking at property? Of course it does. It has been proven that people that are interested in buying will leave their info if it is only a short sign in form. This is exactly the premise we have taken in development of the most advanced lead generating software online that automatically emails you when somebody is searching your site for property. These email alerts can of course be disabled by you. All info will still be logged for later. It's time to invest in a real estate website that performs! |
