Eugene, Oregon -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/24/2008 -- IDX, Inc. is pleased to announce the addition of Jonas Wilks, co-founder of the Symbiont Investment Group, Inc. to the ever growing list of real estate professionals making the real estate search simpler for their clients with the addition of IDX Broker software. Potential clients in Roseville, Calif. and surrounding areas can now easily search for their ideal property on Metrolist – Sacramento (Metrolist). Using innovative Internet Data Exchange (IDX) technology, this custom IDX solution can extract the raw property listing details and format them so that they appear as a seamlessly integrated part of the Symbiont website.

Using IDX Broker, clients of Wilks can search properties in five different ways: basic, advanced, map, address, or MLS listing ID. The most comprehensive of these searches is the advanced search which allows clients to specify their preference in a multitude of categories such as property status, schools, subdivision, air/cooling, heat, construction, exterior, floor covering, style, road description, kitchen appliances, and other amenities or features. Clients are also privy to helpful IDX tools that link them quickly to contact the listing agent for more information, schedule a showing, print a flyer, email the property details, pinpoint the property on an interactive street, satellite, or terrain map, and calculate likely mortgage payments.

This custom IDX solution provides many helpful tools to Wilks as well, all accessible through an administrative log-in, so he can manage his business and clients more efficiently. Tools such as lead management give Wilks access to client contact information, while detailed traffic reports allow him to view which pages on his website are being visited most frequently. IDX Broker also provides Wilks with tools to increase his exposure and visibility by generating custom XML codes for syndication to popular real estate search sites such as Real Estate For Sale Network and RSS Feed, as well as the ability to create dynamic title tags for each of his listings, increasing the chances of his properties being picked up and distributed all over the internet by a major search engine.
