If you’re a real estate agent who is thinking about redesigning or building your first WordPress website, chances are you’ll want the ability to include results from your local MLS. And because WordPress is such a popular web publishing platform, adding MLS Listings Search to your WordPress website has never been easier.
There are several options when it comes to IDX providers, but we find dsIDXpress by Diverse Solutions and IDX Broker to be in our humble opinion, the top two choices.
