FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

February 16, 2010

EUGENE, ORE. – With the help of IDX, Inc. Re/ Max Equity Group's Dave Hopkins, along with an abundant amount of other real estate agents and brokers, has elected to enhance and upgrade the search function of his website, creating a quick and simple property search for prospective home buyers. Residing in Portland, Oregon, Hopkins is an active member of the Regional Multiple Listing Service (RMLS), therefore home seekers can now browse a plethora of the most up-to-date of property listings and details, in a easy-to-navigate and efficient format, all without ever leaving his site. This helpful and unique Internet Data Exchange (IDX) software has the technology to take raw data from the RMLS, and formats the information to be viewed as though it is a seamlessly integrated portion of Hopkins' web pages, providing consumers with the latest and most highly demanded listing information on the market.

This custom IDX solution addition provides Hopkins' site visitors with five user-friendly search tools, helping to navigate their online real estate search, those being: basic, advanced, map, address and MLS listing ID. Each of these search quarries contain unique features to help the client pinpoint what they truly desire and need in their new home, in efforts to find their ideal property. Easily accessible links give home seekers the ability to contact listing agent for more information, print flyers, take a virtual tour, pinpoint the property on a interactive Google Map, schedule a showing, email property details, view large photo galleries and even calculate likely mortgage payments, creating a nearly effortless online real estate search experience for each individual consumer.

Via an administrative dashboard, Hopkins has direct access to an abundant amount of resources, helping him to better manage his online real estate business. Along with having the tools to customize the overall look and design of his site, the ability to edit his custom CSS and global wrappers, and the option to increase the visibility of his listings throughout the web, Hopkins can also view his clients information and saved search criteria, giving him the resources to provide a truly unique experience for each individual client, which is often lost when dealing with real estate online. All of these helpful utilities place Hopkins' website and services above and beyond his competitors.
