Questions
About our recommendations.
What does it mean that you are an affiliate?
If you sign up for one of these products through our link, the company may pay us a commission. You pay the product's normal price, and you pay the company directly.
Are you a partner of these companies?
No. We are an affiliate: we build on these products and may earn a commission on sign ups through our links. We don't speak for these companies.
Do I have to use these tools to work with you?
No. On every project we choose the tools with you, for your MLS and your goals, and we use products we're not affiliates of when they fit better. Some sites need no IDX at all.
Should I use an API like Repliers or an IDX plugin like Showcase IDX?
An IDX plugin is the fastest way to put MLS search on a WordPress website, and for many agents it's enough. An API is the better base when you want search inside your own design, an app, or broker tools on the same data.
Not sure which tool fits?
Book a strategy call. We'll look at your MLS and what you want to build, and tell you which tools fit, including when you need none of them.
