Frame
Free, leads to you, 2 options.
IDX
Leads to you, customizable.
If your budget is limited or you are just getting started, framing ColoProperty is a great solution:
Frame ColoProperty.com®
This allows you to add a fully featured MLS search page to your site with just a small snippet of code. If you have seen it before, we invite you to take another look as we have given the site a facelift and added additional features. There are now two options: Standard and Mountain.
Framing allows you to get a great looking search at no additional cost. It’s very easy to implement. And all the leads will go to YOU, not of the Listing Agent. To sign up, submit this online form.
If you have the budget and want to invest more heavily in your website, you can hire an IDX Website provider:
Hire an IDX Provider
This gives you more freedom to choose your search and display screen design. Many providers have a variety of templates you can choose from. Or, if you have more money to spend, they could create a unique design for you. Make sure to ask if the listings are indexed on your site to improve your SEO.
