Diverse Solutions Frameable IDX
The Bay East Association of REALTORS® is providing a free frameable IDX solution for the membership. This solution can be implemented by anyone who wishes to have search capabilities on his or her own website. There are many new features that this frameable solution provides over the IDX EZ Solution. Below are some answers to questions you might have about the product.
Q: How do I get this for my website?
A: To receive the Diverse Solutions IDX solution, fill out the Participant/Subscriber form located at http://www.bayeast.org/mls/idx/documents.
After the form is filled out, fax it to Technical Support at (925) 369-7151.
- A link will be returned to you which you can then add to your website.
Q: Do I have to change what I currently have now?
A: Absolutely not. This solution is for anyone looking to change their current IDX solution or implement a new one. If you are happy with what you currently have, you may continue using that solution.
Q: Is this really a “free solution”?
A: The IDX search capability by Diverse Solutions is free but you will have to get your own website setup from a web-hosting company and pay whatever fees are required for your website setup. There is an enhanced option you can subscribe to from IDX Solutions costing $69.95 which will allow your web site visitors to easily chat via instant message directly with you, the agent, using a desktop application, or via their cell phone. Either of these two options allow you to capture the visitor as a lead! Again, you are not required to purchase this enhancement, since the site is already supported by ads on the website. Be assured that these ads have no relationship to the real estate industry.
Q: What does this IDX solution do?
A: Diverse Solutions offers capabilities that are not available with the IDX EZ solution. Some of the features that are offered are: 1) locating the property on a map; 2) calculating the mortgage payment; 3) school and neighborhood information; and 4) email or print capability.
Q: Can anybody get this IDX solution from Diverse Solutions?
A: You have to be an active Bay East MLS member in order to receive the Diverse Solutions capability.
Q: What does this IDX solution look like?
A: Below is an example of what the Diverse Solutions IDX looks like. Clients can use the map to look in specific areas where there are properties available.
