Default How do I get Mortgage calculator...

Here is a link a page of my corporate website that is using a cool mortgage calculator.
http://www.realestateone.com/content...Number=h407879
It is located in the lower left corner and the details are great.
I would like to know if it would be possible to iframe this to my personal site?
We both use the same MLS so it would pull the same info.

This is definitely possible to simply iframe into the page. However, seems to need some programming support. I have passed this onto programming in order to address this better for you.

Thanks for your patience.

Are their any copy right issues I need to check on? If this is going to work I will need to get some prices for putting it into my featured listings display.
I am also working on Getting a custom IDX and think this would be super cool to have come up with each listing as it does through the example site. This kind of stuff really helps agents stand out. They way it brings in current rates shows payments and income requirements. I'm sure I could sell the bank space to my local lenders.

Hi Ethan,

As far as the copy right issues I am not sure ... might want to check with the company that provides the service ... which appears to be Rate Plug .. ?

Just talked to them and I can use it since my franchise office has a account with them. What do I need to ask them for in order to integrate this into my site? Is it something that can be iframed or will there be some programming to make it work correctly? Would I be able to do it from my end if it is coding I could enter in for my featured listings when I input them.

Just need to get them to provide the iframe code and possibly some documentation on how it works .... you should be able to enter it yourself .. however if you are talking about having this on an IDX then we'd need to code that for you.

Thank you, when I get the code I will check back with you. I am still working on an IDX solution so when that finalizes I will contact you about the programming end.

Just heard back from Rate Plug on the mortgage calculator. Below is what they gave me. Is this something I can do my self for my featured listings.


Please send him the attached document. The document lists all of the parameters that we need. The base URL is: http://www.rateplug.com/cc/katabat/rates.asp



Please have his developer hard code the following values:
