I am starting to work on a revamp of http://www.realestatewebmasters.com/real-estate-directory.php and one of the things we are working on is the display data for the individual listings for realtors on both the sponsored and non sponsored levels.

A lot of people want to know the difference between our basic custom IDX and a more advanced (More expensive) IDX solution.

Here is a quick breakdown of the basic.

Search Page: allows users to choose bedrooms, baths, sq foot, min / max price, area, property type, you know the basics that all main search pages have.

Listings Page:  This is a list of properties "basic" view which shows a thumbnail of the property and some basic info: Price, Area, Beds, Bath and then a "View Details" button.

Basically the discussion came about because a member of real estate webmasters who is also a realtor for John L Scott in Washington received an email from the NWMLS (North West MLS) threatening to fine him for using the phrase "Seattle MLS" in his description for his website posted here at REW.
