FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

May 27, 2009

EUGENE, ORE. – IDX, Inc. is eager to announce today its newest client addition Heather Marrone with John L. Scott Methow Valley, in joining the ever growing database of real estate agents and brokers opting to give the search functions of their real estate websites a much greater sense of advancement and modernization, by incorporating the distinct and efficient IDX Broker software. This innovative Internet Data Exchange (IDX) product is the most highly customizable of its kind, enabling Marrone to decipher which search options will be displayed throughout her website for potential home buyers to browse. Marrone can also integrate Northwest MLS (NWMLS) listing information directly onto her site, with the relationship that IDX Broker has with Multiple Listing Service (MLS) systems.

Marrone has chosen to present five comprehensive search categories throughout her website, including a basic search, a map search, an advanced search, an address search and a listing ID search. The most unique of the search options is the map search. Powered by the well-known and user-friendly Google Maps, the map search enables home seekers to pinpoint their chosen property on an interactive Google Map. Then may utilize this information to evaluate their relativity to close by main roads, neighborhoods, school districts, malls, parks, convenience locations, landmarks and other cities, to determine if this is a location that matches their specified wants and needs, and that they could truly envision themselves living.

This custom IDX solution offers Marrone her own individual administrative section, where she can control each and every aspect and detail of her online real estate business, making it one that is truly unique and personalized, to best fit both her and her clients wants and needs. She has access to daily MLS updates from the NWMLS, regarding property additions and removals from the Winthrop, Washington real estate market, as well as price changes. She can view traffic reports, detailing which pages and listings on her site are most popular, and are therefore being viewed most frequently, keeping her informed of which properties she needs pay close attention to. Marrone also has the capabilities to create dynamic title tags and custom XML codes, increasing her listings visibility, as well as their chances of syndication with major real estate search engines, which will in turn, generate more traffic to her own personal website, by distributing her company name throughout the web.
