A seamless integration and customized searching through IDX Broker, saves both realtors and consumers time.

Eugene, OR -- (SBWire) -- 01/13/2009 -- IDX, Inc. is excited to announce the addition of Pilar Aparicio of Gateway Resort Realty to the continuously expanding amount of real estate professionals choosing to customize their websites with the help of IDX Broker software. Pilar Aparicio resides in Key Biscayne, Florida and is a part of the Southeast Florida MLS (SEFL). Now, clients of Aparicio visiting the Gateway Resort Realty website, can search thousands of property listings and details provided by the Southeast Florida MLS (SEFL). By incorporating the customized IDX solution that Aparicio has selected, she is now able to extract raw data from the SEFL and format it in a way to be displayed as an integrated part of her website.

With the addition of custom IDX Broker software, Aparicio’s clients can efficiently search her website through five different search categories, those being: basic, advanced, map, address and listing ID. One of the most significant of the search features is the unique map category. The interactive map, powered by Google maps, allows the client to pinpoint a specific street, satellite or terrain. Once the client has pinpointed their desired area, the map then shows surrounding properties for sale, as well as nearby schools, landmarks, major roads, and other cities, in efforts to find each client their ideal property, as well as to be able to visualize what it would be like to live in that particular area. Through the custom IDX Broker software, Aparicio’s clients also have access to an abundant amount of resources, such as detailed property pictures, along with the access to many different property photo galleries.

IDX Broker is beneficial to both the client and to Aparicio. The Internet Data Exchange (IDX) technology provides tools to help Aparicio manage the flow of her website in the most efficient and simplistic way possible, along with helping her to increase the visibility of her listings throughout the online community with the access of an easy to use log-in page. Through the log-in page, Aparicio has the ability to control every section of her website, including the integration of the custom IDX Broker software with the use of wrappers and custom CSS.
