IDX allows Brokers and Associate Brokers to display all homes for sale listed in their MLS,
on their personal real estate web sites.
For most MLS areas this also includes coming-soon, pending and sold status too.
Many MLS even include rental properties as part of IDX.
Because IDX is considered advertising, each agent (with the permission of their managing broker) can present all listings through their web site to any visitor without the need for the visitor to agree to any formal terms and conditions.
The concept of IDX is simple: It's a reciprocal agreement. Each participating broker contributes their listings to the IDX database (they opt-in) and is in turn, able to display listings from all other participating brokers on their web site. These days, practically all listings from your MLS are now included with IDX.
