EUGENE, ORE. – Self Realty's Otis Jonuskis has elected to incorporate the innovative modernized Internet Data Exchange (IDX) software into the search functionality of his website, creating a simple and efficient way for his clients to search for real estate online. Residing in Fort Myers, Florida, Jonuskis is a member of the Fort Myers MLS (FortMyers), therefore potential home buyers browsing his website will be viewing the most current listings available on the web.

An advanced search option enables home seekers to search even the finest of home details and traits, including: landscaping, roof type, storage space and flooring, to name a few, a basic search covers more general search options, such as: price, location and size, a map search, powered by Google Maps, allows clients to pinpoint their desired property on an interactive road, satellite or terrain map, and they also have access to an address search and an MLS listing ID search.

An administrative login dashboard is provided to Jonuskis, giving him the resources to manage his business more efficiently, as well as create a truly custom and personalized real estate website. It is here that he can not only edit his custom CSS and global wrappers, distributing a sense of unique branding throughout each page of his site, but he also has access to helpful utilities, including: mortgage calculators, detailed traffic reporting and statistics, lead management tools and daily MLS updates, coming directly from FortMyers. This administrative page supplies Jonuskis with many time-saving resources, enabling him to provide a much more personalized search experience for each individual consumer.
