In my last post someone asked me what IDX solution I thought was the best. I let them know that we created our own. The main reason was because I could not find the complete package of what I was looking for my self and my users experience.
Here are some things I think are important for your users experience:
- Easy to use for the consumer
- Fast search results
- Good interact map search that uses Ajax to display properties
- Fully integrated solution – not framed
- Consumer backend to manage saved searches and favorite properties
- Simple sign up forms that do not bounce user to another page
- Email alerts that have one link to new listings that are displayed on your site instead of the user having to click each individual property link ![]()
- Detailed advance searches
Important website features:
- Fully Editable pages and meta tags
- Ability to pull in properties as content
- Search engine friendly
- Built for high conversions
- Built in blog
Important Lead management features:
- Lead Capture notifications
- Agent lead assigning functions
- Round Robin Lead assignment for teams or brokerages
- Auto re-assignment of leads if agent doesn’t take action
- Follow Up features and reminders
- Prioritize leads by motivation or urgency
- Easy exporting feature
I would be really interested to hear what other agents think are important and why. I am sure I am missing something important or have not yet considered. I look forward to learning something new and growing.
