FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

May 15, 2009

EUGENE, ORE. – Neil Gibbs with St. George GMAC Real Estate has chosen to employ IDX, Inc. to give the search function of his real estate website a sense of personalization and advancement, providing his clients with an overall much more simplified and organized online real estate search experience. This new and innovative Internet Data Exchange (IDX) software has the unique technology in which it can extract raw listing data details from the Washington County MLS (WCMLS), and then formats the information to be viewed as a seamlessly integrated and easily searchable part of Gibbs website. Potential home buyers in St. George, Utah and its surrounding areas will now have access to thousands of the most current and up-to-date property listings on the web, and all without ever being redirected to a different website.

Gibbs has chosen to display five unique and original search categories on his website for his clients to browse, including: a basic search, an advanced search, a map search, an address search and a listing ID search. The most comprehensive of the search options is the map search. Here, prospective home buyers can browse literally each and every aspect and detail they could ever imagine, when considering to buy a new home, such as: pool, view, heating/ cooling system, flooring, scenery, exterior, storage space, appliances, roof type, landscaping, the number of rooms, driveway, neighborhood, school district, and much more, aiding to narrow their results, in efforts to find a property the meets their every want, need and desire, and all within the most time efficient manner possible.

Not only is this custom IDX Broker software addition beneficial to potential home buyers, but to Gibbs as well. Via his own personal administrative management section, he has the ability to control all aspects of his online real estate website, including the option to edit the look, layout, design, format and search options available, making it truly his own. He has access to daily MLS updates, coming directly from the WCMLS, regarding property additions and removals, as well as price increase and decreases. Gibbs also has the opportunity to increase his listings and company's name visibility throughout the website, with the resources to create dynamic title tags and custom XML and RSS codes.
