Eugene, Oregon -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/01/2008 -- IDX, Inc. happily welcomes Ben Strock with Strock Real Estate to the expanding database of real estate agents and brokers who are choosing to give their online property listings a competitive edge with the addition of custom IDX Broker software. Consumers searching for homes in the Aptos, Calif. area can now use Strock’s site to browse the thousands of property listings on RE InfoLink (REIL). Innovative Internet Data Exchange (IDX) technology makes it possible for this custom IDX solution to extract raw property details and display them as a fully integrated part of Strock’s site.

IDX Broker gives Strock complete control over the look of this site by allowing him access to edit his custom CSS and global, page, and category wrappers through an administrative log-in page. On this dashboard, Strock is able to view statistical updates from REIL as to the amount of properties added or removed and price increases or decreases. The number of times his site is visited in conjunction with traffic reports detailing which pages on his site are viewed most frequently help him to manage his business more efficiently.

Clients of Strock have access to advanced search fields and can elect to save their criteria and be notified by email, when properties matching their specifications become available on REIL. A lead management section gives Strock access to this contact information in order to follow up with the client. Features like dynamic title tags unique to each listing increase the chances of Strock’s listings being picked up by a major search engine and distributed across the internet, increasing his listings and his company’s exposure.
