EUGENE,
ORE. -- IDX, Inc. is excited to introduce the very first and only
integrated and brandable Multiple Listing Service (MLS) search
application for the iPhone. This is a unique product offering and the
first of it' kind in the real estate industry. This new iPhone app is
officially being released today, just in time for the 2009 National
Association of REALTORS conference beginning November 13, 2009.<br>
<br>
This
innovative and highly anticipated application, named myAgent by IDX,
now puts the power of an iPhone app in the hands of every single real
estate agent and broker nationwide. With 300+ MLS’s already
covered by IDX, Inc’s existing IDX platform, myAgent by IDX is the
Nation’s first and solitary integrated IDX application that has the
ability to serve agents, both big and small, without them having to
spend excess and valuable time building their own custom iPhone
application.<br>
<br>
So
how does this particular IDX iPhone application differ from other
already existing iPhone real estate applications?<br>
<br>
Although
IDX, Inc. manages over 4 million listings nationwide on a daily
basis, it is not a national aggregator of data, like Trulia or
Zillow, rather it is a utility that enables a local agent in a
specific MLS market to have a competitive advantage through the use
of innovative and brandable tools.<br>
IDX,
Inc. already has existing relationships and contracts with over 300
independently owned and operated MLS systems throughout the United
States. No other company has direct feeds from this many MLS
systems, nor can they service any agent throughout the US with an
integrated iPhone data feed.<br>
This
is an integrated application, therefore the home search tools are
built directly into the application through an advanced map search
function; Other real estate apps that display MLS listings do so
through a window that displays a web page online, making myAgent by
IDX much more functional and desirable to individual agents and
brokers.<br>
<br>
For
over 5 years IDX, Inc. has provided real estate professionals with a
plethora of unique features, as well as a customizable interface,
enabling them to integrate local MLS listings into their already
existing websites, without the need for complex programming. This
brand new iPhone application, myAgent by IDX, extends this same
unparalleled and innovative service, to the mobile web.<br>
<br>
Home
seekers with the desire for this new IDX iPhone application can
receive a special Agent Code from their participating real estate
professional. Consumers that do not currently have a specified agent
or broker can receive a code automatically through the geo-location
tool, built directly into the app, catering to each individual
looking for a new property. Some of the benefits to users include:
<br>
The
ability to search for homes within the actual MLS, in their local
and surrounding areas.<br>
Having
access to the most current MLS listing data available, which is
updated in all markets every 24 hours.<br>
The
ability to locate a property using map search tools, allowing them
to tour neighborhoods and view all homes on the market within that
specific area, which is great for partaking in a mobile self-guided
search and/ or tour.<br>
<br>
This
brand new and advanced IDX iPhone application is provided free of
charge to all existing IDX, Inc. customers and their clients.
According to the latest mobile usage studies from Admob, iPhone users
compromise 48% of all mobile browsing sessions, thus opening a
previously untapped marketing channel for tech savvy agents and their
clients. This unique IDX iPhone application, myAgent by IDX, caters
to each individuals' want and need, developing a whole new era of IDX
technology,<br>
<br>
