What are my options for IDX? Follow
Triangle MLS offers a variety of IDX options for real estate professionals. Your Office can choose from four different options for their IDX solution:
- The Office can use the TMLS SmartFrame Link that is provided by TMLS for its Participants and Subscribers. This is a service that TMLS provides free-of-charge and does not require any additional fees or payments. Our website provides additional information regarding the SmartFrame at: https://www.trianglemls.com/tmls/idx/
- If the Broker in Charge (BIC) wants to create a website for the Office, they will need to complete the following steps to access the SmartFrame: TMLS SmartFrame - BIC Instructions
- If the Agent wants to create a personal website, they will need to complete the following steps to access the SmartFrame: TMLS SmartFrame - Agent Instructions
- The Office can choose to work with an IDX Vendor that has already registered with TMLS to provide the IDX solution.
- TMLS offers a list of the current IDX Vendors on our Support Page at: TMLS Current Vendors
- With this option, the Office will need to contact the potential Vendor in order to set-up an account with them before IDX can be provided.
- The Office can also choose to work with a new/different IDX Vendor after the Vendor has registered with TMLS.
- With this option, the Office will need to find its own IDX Vendor and the Vendor will need to register with TMLS.
- The Vendor will need to complete these steps before they can be approved: Vendor Registration Instructions
- The Office can choose to receive a "direct" IDX feed from TMLS. This option would provide "raw" data from TMLS to the Firm.
- This option can be very technically complex and requires the services of a programmer/developer in most cases
- With this option, the Broker in Charge (BIC) will need to make this request. This request would provide IDX access for the entire Office.
