The MLS is the source for Internet Data Exchanges (IDX), commonly called Broker Reciprocity. A broker searches for properties using the MLS, but when you search for properties on any website you are using an IDX. IDX’s have limitations. These limitations are: delays in updates, opting-out (a broker can withhold listings from your search), restricted search options, and fewer property details. Currently there are three types of IDX:
- Sandicor IDX
- Realtor.com
- Third-party IDX
