IDX, Inc. and Lane Thor create remarkable real estate search resource for Minnesota clients

EUGENE, OR – February 1, 2013 – (RealEstateRama) — Today, IDX, Inc. is pleased to announce IDX Broker has been enabled on the professional real estate website of Lino Lakes, Minnesota Broker Lane Thor of Lino Lakes Real Estate Group. By adopting a customizable IDX solution, Thor has synchronized his website to the Northstar MLS (Northstar) database, extracting raw listing data and seamlessly integrating it onto the search page he hosts. With IDX Broker software, Thor has created a dynamic online property search for his clients and other Minnesota area home seekers.

Internet Data Exchanges (IDX) solutions, such as the one Thor now employs, give home seekers the ability to narrow the Northstar listings on their terms. Five unique search functions, including the powerful advanced tool, allow potential buyers to create search parameters by which to find their dream home by specifying the subdivision, scenery, flooring, and schools they desire in a property. Thanks to IDX Broker, once they find that perfect property, home seekers can connect directly with sellers and listing agents to gather more information or schedule a showing, without ever leaving the convenient search page Thor hosts.

An administrative login page gives Thor a convenient and personalized behind-the-scenes page where he can customize and manage his website. IDX Broker gives him access to unique tools to help Thor monitor the site traffic of his website, connect with current and potential clients and even syndicate his listings around the Internet. By creating RSS feeds, dynamic title tags and custom XML codes for his listings, Thor can easily increase the visibility of his listings and widely circulate them across the online real estate marketplace. By adding a customizable IDX solution, Thor has transformed his professional website to be the most effective real estate resource for his clients.
