EUGENE, ORE. – The IDX, Inc. team is more than happy to announce today its newest client addition, Windermere Real Estate's Jerry Shea is congregating with the elite rank of real estate professionals opting to modernize and advance the search function of their websites by incorporating a custom IDX solution. Shea, residing in Palm Springs, California, is a member of the Desert MLS (DTMLS). This new and innovative Internet Data Exchange (IDX) software has the unique technology to extract raw listing data details from the DTMLS, and formats the information to be viewed as though it is a seamlessly integrated and easily searchable part of Shea's website; home seekers will have access to the most convenient and hassle-free real estate search on the web.

This custom IDX Broker addition provides Shea with the resources to customize his website, to best fit both his and his clients wants and needs, with the ability to determine which search options will be displayed for potential home buyers to browse, and in this case Shea has chosen a basic search, an advanced search, a map search, a listing ID search and an address search. Each of these categories provide their own unique resources, traits and characteristics, covering all aspects of the real estate search, aiding consumers in narrowing their results, in efforts to find their ideal property. Each listings page supplies potential home buyers with easy-to-navigate links to email property details, schedule a showing, take a virtual tour, contact the listing agent for more information, calculate likely mortgage payments, print a flyer, view large photo galleries, and even pinpoint their desire property on an interactive Google Map, creating the most effortless real estate search on the web.
