Sorry, no, IDX approval is vendor-specific. Real estate board rules do not allow us to use approvals for other vendors.

In most cases, yes, each agent will need separate paperwork and will need to be approved.

In general, all agents must be in the same brokerage office (with the same designated managing broker), and all agents must be active members of the MLS® System for which you are requesting IDX. (It’s generally not possible to have an IDX site between agents in different brokerages, or for one agent in one board and a second agent in another board.)

Specifics can vary by local board and in the event of many agents sharing one site. If an entire office uses one website, usually only approval for the managing broker is required.

* Yes, we will notify you by email within one business day of receiving approval for your IDX from your real estate board or MLS® System.

* If you receive approval for iHomefinder IDX from your real estate board or MLS® System, and we are not copied on the email, please forward that email to [email protected]

In general, please allow a few business days for a board to issue approval (after the paperwork is submitted) in most cases. Some boards have longer approval times. We will follow up with your board if we don’t hear back from them after submitting your completed paperwork to their office.

Approval timeframes vary among boards, from the same business day to approximately two weeks after (1) you sign up (2) you provide us with the required IDX paperwork or information specific to your local board.

In most cases, yes. However, the following MLS Boards require that your IDX be approved before your website goes live:

• NWMLS
• Maine MLS
• Northwestern Wisconsin MLS
• WVMLS

We provide you with the IDX paperwork and instructions by email when you sign up for a paid account.

Please submit your completed IDX paperwork to [email protected]

After you send your completed IDX paperwork [email protected] we’ll send it to your MLS within one business day.

It can take several business days, after you send your completed paperwork to us, for your MLS to provide IDX approval.

We’ll let you know as soon as you’re approved by your MLS, or if anything further is needed.

We’ll also be sure to follow up with your MLS if we don’t hear back from them soon after sending in your paperwork.

Please feel free to email us at [email protected] if you have any questions. Thanks!

In most cases, no, you can select one MLS® System from the data share for which you will complete paperwork and be approved for IDX from the regional data share.

If you sign up for more than one MLS® System (which don’t share data) you will need to complete paperwork and be approved for each one separately. We will provide you with automated emails for each board you select when you sign up for our service.

Sorry, no, board rules prohibit us from doing this.

So we can best answer your specific situation, please email us at [email protected] if you have any questions.

Please follow the instructions in the email you received when you signed up for IDX.
(This email has the subject line “ACTION REQUIRED: Please complete your IDX paperwork”.)
