Can I get the IDX data directly from the MLS?
Typically, members can in fact receive raw IDX data from the MLS, and in some cases may be able to use a "frame-able" solution provided by the MLS to show listings on their websites.
With respect to the former, the requirement of a user-interface that presents the data effectively and in compliance with the MLS IDX Rules and Regulations, has led to the formation of IDX solutions providers such as IDXSolutions.com.
Frame-able solutions usually offer minimal branding to set yourself apart, provide fewer lead-generation tools and are unlikely to provide an email update program to effortlessly keep your visitors up-to-date on the market. IDX Solutions offers these features and many more.
