Midwest realty group upgrades real estate website with a customizable IDX solution
EUGENE, OR – July 2, 2010 – (RealEstateRama) — The Steve Volkers Group, out of Grand Rapids, Michigan, has created a unique real estate website with the help of their customized IDX Broker software. This software allows real estate agent Steve Volkers and Grand Rapids residents and home seekers to utilize the Grand Rapids MLS (GRAR) quickly and efficiently in searching for properties online. The website of Volkers now hosts one of the most comprehensive online real estate searches in the nation, thanks to the IDX Broker software.
On his website Volkers can offer his clients and those just searching for a property, a detailed search page. This feature delivers each home seeker with homes that boast the specific features they have indicated are important to them. The five unique search tools allow buyers to create parameters to determine which features are most important in a property. The powerful Advanced search tool uses criteria such as basement options, school district, frontage properties and number of bathrooms and bedrooms to narrow down the search for clients, retrieving only homes they would be interested in seeing. Additional IDX solutions are also available on his website granting home seekers a way to connect with sellers and listing agents, request more information on a property, schedule a showing, take a virtual tour and even calculate likely monthly mortgage payments all from the convenience of the website.
IDX Broker does not just make the online home search easier and simpler for potential buyers, it also makes it easier and simpler for real estate professionals, like Volkers. He receives his own administrative login page which grants him control over almost every aspect of his professional website. Now, instead of slaving over GRAR market trends and listings, he is sent automatic email alerts on his phone or personal computer. The addition of IDX Broker software to his real estate website affords him more time to spend in the field showing homes and creating lasting relationships with his clients and fellow community members.
