The Venuti Group integrates IDX Search Tools into Real Estate Website

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Thursday, December 8, 2005



EUGENE, ORE. - Eugene based IDX, Inc. today announced the addition of The Venuti Group to its suite of real estate clients.  The Venuti Group now uses IDX, Inc.’s primary application, IDX Broker, to display and completely integrate Multiple Listing Service (MLS) listings on its website. This allows The Venuti Group to retain leads generated from direct traffic, rather than losing out to the listing broker through the use of traditional framed MLS search tools.

The IDX Broker application provides agents, brokers and other real estate professionals with the tools needed to create a competitive advantage in a growing real estate market.

The objective in developing a website with an integrated IDX/MLS data feed is to generate new leads quickly at a low cost to the client. With automatic email announcements, custom client home views and advanced admin and integration controls, The Venuti Group’s clients now have access to the entire MLS database on its website.  This gives The Venuti Group’s website an advantage over those that don’t integrate the MLS listings with the IDX search tools and gives its listings free advertising on other real estate websites that also display the MLS data.

Additional benefits of using IDX Broker Pro include the ability to automatically create featured listing pages, check the status of new MLS listings and generate automatic emails 24/7.  As a member of Oregon’s Southern Oregon MLS, The Venuti Group’s clients can search the MLS quickly and easily using IDX search tools.
