Any updates on new intraday updates coming out? I seriously have like 4 big clients who are about to bail on IDX Broker because the updates are too slow. I keep them holding on hoping that this is going to be available to them soon, but, they are getting SUPER impatient. Basically what I am hearing is 15-30 minute updates is the new standard. If that cannot be achieved, I think they are going to bail.
Also, with those updates, will that bring intraday property email updates as well? Right now it is still just once a day, but, that is not enough for most clients who are in competitive markets. They needs several per day (4-6 cycles) of processing new/change property updates.

Intraday prop emails are not currently part of the intraday updates at this time. While it will take some time to get all data sets on intraday, the process should speed up dramatically with each addition.
In the end refresh rate will be as fast as possible while accommodating as many MLSs as possible.

Any updates on the status of the images on this? I too have a client ready to cancel and go with another IDX.

Any update to the list of MLS’s that have been programmed out to have intraday? Is there a list that are in line to get it?

So out of 700 MLS boards you have 4 small boards done and no list of who is next or ETA? IDXB is doing a lot of great things but this is troubling to the clueless like me. I predict clients leaving soon. Not just a trickle. Usually you guys put the programming toward the income so to do these and not MRIS or larger MLS boards I am wondering if the ones that got the preferential treatment have pictures of some of you with bubba the duck that you don’t want to get out. 🙂
Maybe IDXB is not seeing this like the client would. Intraday has everything to do with lead capture. Right now If I had a 0 down and $10 a month Zillow website my database would have updates every 15 minutes and if both sent out listing updates where we both say “get to see newly listed homes before others” Zillows’ website sends it to them 15 minutes after it hits the MLS. IDXBroker is 24hours later.
Just about everyone else gets that new listing to their clients before IDXBroker clients.
Most of the markets across the county have a buyers war so every idxbroker client is on the sideline. Furthermore, agents market in their listing presentations that they are at the top of their game when marketing their listing on the internet but if they have idxbroker for longer than a month they know they are lying.
I know the resources needed to have 700 boards running updates like others but this has been a year and a half since it became public and I have been very supportive in the Facebook private group and when clients call but at this point its getting hard to support when nothing is changing, we are kept in the dark not given a roadmap of who is next and the ETA of when the next 5 will be done.
These are low membership boards and nothing has changed since January.
Who you are going to lose in the next 60 days are the mid sized broker who is hands on and has 20 agents or more. The 100% commission or fee brokerage that is hands on sees this like the trouble with listing syndication…..leaking profits they count on. Between the listing syndication not working for months AND this all brokerages are losing money staying with IDXBroker. It’s the ones that are hands on that see it but seeing no one is talking about it they have been reserved about it. However enough people haven’t made an issue so its human nature not to fix it. Even here 95% of “Developers” have stopped reading it because they they don’t get it and just want to make and serve the pizza part of the business. They don’t think like the clients they serve and limit their success on the fact they made the site. The clients profit margin and having the best marketing tools for their listings is not a part of their menu.
Now after 6 months listing syndication seems to be improving (not fully and in all markets regardless of what is being said) so maybe by Christmas two things will happen; 1. IDXBroker makes the game plan that the biggest boards with the most IDXBroker clients get priority and the one agent in one MLS will have to wait till the Padres win the world series, 2. IDXBroker discloses the list of boards in order that will be getting done first so all can accept it and deal with it.
Holding out and keeping everyone in the dark has lasted 1.5 years but it won’t soon. Mid brokers will leave and give the other idxproviders ammunition to steal at will IDXBroker clients. This will happen by 4th quarter. Some will get their panties in a bunch and post in FB private group the sky is falling but even it happens all will be well.
Doing this for 22 years I have learned that even this is no big deal. The client base is growing not shrinking so even if IDXBroker takes another year to catch up to the rest in the end they will still have clients signing up.
I would just like to know.
Oh yeah make broker featured listings available in agent accounts…not related but putting in every post I make from now on.

No doubt there are other IDX providers out there looking to poke holes in their competition over this. That’s their marketing strategy. Although I look forward to the intraday updates rapidly being expanded to include all MLS feeds, every MLS system I have encountered has instantaneous email update functionality. This technology is not new and certainly not limited to IDX. The fact is once a day updates is fine for all but the most red hot and ready go to buyers. When a buyer reaches this RHARTG status the agent should be using the MLS for updates instead of IDX.
I would tell my disgruntled clients that IDX is not intended to replace MLS functionality. They still need to do their jobs as real estate agents and use every resource at their disposal to help their buyers succeed. No excuses. If they want to switch IDX providers because they think they can find an IDX provider that replaces their MLS, or the need for them to do their jobs, they are allowing themselves to be bamboozled.
