IDX, also called RETS, means "nternet ata echange", and is the connection that brings listing information from your MLS to your site. Each KW Partner should have two (2) separate IDX feeds: Wolfnet IDX for the KW App for more details Data, Ops@Placester. com for more info Market Leader IDX for the e, Edge Database and Website e, Edge, IDX@Market, Leader.
The IDX demand process generally includes sending a pre-approved format of a demand for IDX, with the representative, broker, website provider, and MLS details to the website supplier, who then contacts the MLS to set up the IDX connection. For most of KW Market Centers, Market Center Management must have particular info about the procedure for establishing the 3 IDX feeds on hand, and can aid with that process.
The majority of MLS boards do charge some cost for an IDX connection, please refer directly to your MLS board to find out more about IDX fees. idx plugin does not have any info about IDX costs. The very first IDX connection necessary for a KW Partner is the Wolfnet IDX, which is handled through e, Representative, C for your branded KW App.
Without IDX, users of the KW app will just have the ability to browse KW listings, not any listings outside of Keller Williams. App users will also experience a mistake any time they try to register for an account or favorite a property. You can see how this would render the app essentially worthless.
This is something that only the MCA has the ability to do, you can not add it yourself. The second IDX connection necessary for a KW Associate is for the older e, Edge Website and database system. If either of the two IDX connections might be seen as "optional", this is the one.
