== Description ==
<h3>IDX Broker Plugin</h3>

<h4>New Omni-Search Widget!</h4>
<ul><li>This new widget operates independently of IDX Broker (by accessing the API) and allows you to add an "Omni-Search" box to your home page. This search box gives your visitors a way to search by city, county, postal code, address (no live search results), or listing ID. No other IDX solution offers this many options in an omni-search box for your home page.</li></ul>

<h4>Cloud Hosted, Never Framed</h4>
<ul><li>The IDX Broker plugin links to pages on your site and on your custom subdomain. This can often lead to multiple unique URL results for a specific search engine query – leading to more search engine clicks and traffic. Don't be fooled by the scare tactics used by those who suggest that IDX pages must always appear on your root WordPress domain. IDX Broker clients experience far better SEO results than most, partly because of this second domain.</li></ul>

<h4>Design Community</h4>
<ul><li>Only IDX Broker gives you the ability to choose premium IDX WordPress themes designed specifically around IDX Broker. Agent Evolution and other <a href="http://www.idxbroker.com/wordpress-idx-themes">Premium Real Estate Theme Designers</a> offer deep integration with IDX Broker.</li></ul>

<h4>Mobile Responsive and Mobile-Friendly</h4>
<ul><li>If you have a responsive theme, your templates and widgets are responsive. If you want to give visitors a more simplified, mobile app-like experience, simply activate Mobile Wrappers. Visitors can always select "View Full Site" to load the full version of your IDX site on their mobile device. Only IDX Broker offers this many options for your mobile visitors!</li></ul>

<h4>Map Search Widget</h4>
<ul><li>Add a full-sized <a href="http://www.idxbroker.com/features/map-search-widget">Map Search widget</a> to ANY page on your domain.</li></ul>

<h4>Build Neighborhood Pages</h4>
<ul><li>Write a story, or a post, and use anchor tags to link your custom neighborhoods in IDX Broker. Two indexed pages for the price of one!</li></ul>

<h4>The Best Office IDX Available</h4>
<ul><li>Route leads via multiple <a href="http://www.idxbroker.com/features/round-robin-and-core-fields-lead-routing">Round Robins</a>, assign any custom link to an agent, build a <a href="http://www.idxbroker.com/features/feature-agent-listings-showcase">Showcase Widget</a> and create a unique <a href="http://www.idxbroker.com/features/agent-bio-page-wrapper">Bio Page Wrapper</a> for each agent!</li></ul>

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= What is IDX? =
Internet Data Exchange, or IDX, is a type of data feed provided by your MLS. This data feed typically (but not always) mirrors the data available on your MLS's website. IDX Broker&reg; connects to this data feed automatically, maps the necessary fields, and then adds forms, scripts, etc, giving you a way to add html links and widgets to you website(s).

= Do I need an IDX Broker Lite or Platinum account in order to use this plugin? =
Yes. IDX Broker manages your IDX feed by building forms, results, and property details pages that match your website or blog design. All IDX feeds require approval from a local board or MLS. If you are not a member of a local board or MLS, or your MLS does not provide an IDX data feed, then you will be unable to add IDX Broker plugin functionality to your WordPress site. <a href="http://www.idxbroker.com/idx_mls_coverage">Read more about our MLS coverage.</a> Note that some MLS's may charge you a separate fee for access to your IDX feed.

= Does IDX Broker require a long-term contract? =
No. IDX Broker requires a month-to-month agreement only. There are three monthly account levels - Agent ($39.99+), Team ($69.99+), and Office($98.99+).

= What can I expect if I decide to get my IDX feed through IDX Broker? =
When you sign up for a new account, IDX, LLC sends you any necessary MLS paperwork (if required). Once you have signed the necessary paperwork, you will need to fax that back to us and we will then forward your paperwork to the MLS for approval. Approval can take anywhere from 3-10 days. Once approved, we will activate your account, integrate your site's design into IDX pages, and send you IDX Broker login credentials so that you can add links and Widgets to your site or blog.

= How many blogs/websites can I integrate with IDX Broker? =
Features provided by this Plugin - Widgets, links, and custom links may be placed onto any WordPress website or blog, regardless of MLS approval status. The reason for this is because all Widgets, links, and custom links point back to the original IDX-approved website. Each IDX Broker account requires MLS approval of one site for IDX display. Your search results and details pages must match this approved site.

= Does IDX Broker offer lead capture functionality? =
Yes. IDX Broker provides you with a sign up Widget, sign up links, a lead manager page, a customizable sign up form, and provides you with 'teaser' registration options.
