All of the ones that work with my MLS spit out very ugly pages that look like they were added as an afterthought. I think that most offer the same things. but very few are customizable.

I think you've hit all the points I would and have even prioritized them correctly for user experience. Simplicity is most important, I've see many idx solutions that get heavy with mapping, clutter the screen, and cause difficulties with searching. I'd put seo friendly above the rest for website features. <br><br>A feature not on your list, and would take customization I know, is the ability to combine several mls boards in one idx.

A feature not on your list, and would take customization I know, is the ability to combine several mls boards in one idx. Vermont has two systems so agents need both to have listings for the entire state.

Looking forward to seeing what you can provide realtors here in vt.

All I can say is WOW! It's got all the feature and then some. You can pick your own templates for search pages and such, you can customize your own IDX search links, they provide stats on each property and how many times it was viewed and also the property tracker where your visitors sign up themselves to receive listings and their contact info is sent to you. Also, you can receive daily email reports of what listings were sent to who. They will also be coming out with an iPhone app in November.And the best part is that it's affordable for anyone. And that is regardless of whether they already have a data feed set up for your MLS or not. That was where I always ran into problems because there was only one idx provider who had a data feed set up for my mls. all the the other IDX providers wanted to charges thousands of dollars to set up a custom fee for me.Oh, and the price I quoted above is for a single agent. If you want IDX set up for an entire office, it's different pricing.You can check them out at IDXBroker.com. I just signed up with an IDX provider through my web designer who is a reseller.
