IDX Broker is the Answer to the Customized Search on Agent Michael Krotchie’s Website

Sept. 17, 2008 - PRLog -- EUGENE, ORE. – IDX, Inc. announces the addition of Michael Krotchie with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage in Tucson, Ariz. to the growing list of real estate professionals choosing to customize the property search function of their website with IDX Broker software. The search tools provided by this custom IDX solution make it simpler for clients to browse the Tucson MLS (TARMLS) by displaying formatted data that is directly integrated into Krotchie’s website. Clients can now search listings on TARMLS using customized search tools and categories that can help them narrow down results and ultimately find their ideal property.

Clients browsing Krotchie’s site can perform a basic, advanced, map, address, or listing ID search. Within each of these comprehensive searches lies more specific categories such as schools, view description, appliances, and facilities to provide the most accurate and custom results. IDX search tools are implemented to enhance the listing and offer a quick and easy way for clients to contact the agent for more information, schedule a showing, print a flyer, email the property information, locate the property on a satellite terrain map, and calculate mortgage payments.

IDX Broker provides an administrative log in page where Krotchie can manage and customize every aspect of his website from custom CSS to statistical updates form the MLS.  A lead management section gives him access to client contact information as well as saved search criteria so that he can follow up with clients after they have browsed his site and signed up for automatic email updates. Krotchie can also create custom XML codes for his listings that he can then syndicate to popular real estate search engines such as Real Estate For Sale Network, trulia, Zillow.com, and Homescape to name a few.
