Migrate your IDX Broker data
IDX Broker is a real estate MLS aggregation platform that pushes live listing data onto agent websites via IDX pages and WordPress widgets.
In its favor
Why people choose IDX Broker
The signal that keeps IDX Broker on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Broad MLS board coverage with a single account — IDX Broker aggregates listings from multiple MLS regions, giving agents access to more inventory without managing separate data agreements for each board.
Drag-and-drop advanced search configuration lets agents customize which MLS fields appear on their IDX pages without touching code, a capability praised across G2 reviews for reducing setup friction.
Integrated WordPress widget provides a pre-built plugin that handles MLS data embedding, letting non-technical agents add listing functionality to existing WordPress sites without custom development.
Competitive pricing starting at $60/month includes all standard IDX features and access to at least one MLS board, positioning it below many bundled real estate CRM competitors.
Positive reviews highlight strong customer service responsiveness and the platform's reliability as a dedicated IDX solution, with agents appreciating it stays focused on its core function rather than overexpanding.
The subdomain-based IDX page hosting (yourwebsite.idxbroker.com) can hurt SEO performance since search engines index the subdomain instead of the agent's own domain, causing some agents to lose organic search equity when switching providers.
The MLS approval process requires paper agreements and board sign-off before IDX data access is granted, adding 3-7 days of waiting time that frustrates agents who need quick onboarding.
Agents with complex lead management needs find IDX Broker limited compared to full CRM platforms, prompting moves toward solutions like Follow Up Boss, BoomTown, or BoldTrail that combine IDX with pipeline management.

What gets migrated
IDX Broker object support
Object-by-object support for IDX Broker migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Listings
Fully supportedListings are the primary object in IDX Broker — MLS feed records with property details, photos, pricing, and status. The API exposes listing data via middleware.idxbroker.com endpoints. We pull Listings directly and map them to the target system's property or listing schema, preserving MLS source attribution.
Leads
Mapping requiredIDX Broker generates Leads when website visitors use My Listings Manager to save properties or searches. Leads include contact info, saved listing references, and source attribution. We extract these via the leads API endpoint and map them to standard Contacts in the target system, preserving the original source field.
Contacts
Fully supportedContacts store names, email addresses, phone numbers, and physical addresses for leads and clients within IDX Broker. We migrate contacts directly as full objects, preserving any custom property fields attached to each record.
Saved Searches
Mapping requiredSaved Searches capture visitor criteria (location, price range, beds/baths, property type) and store auto-update notification preferences. IDX Broker retains these per-contact. We extract the search parameters and recreate them in the target system to preserve lead nurturing logic.
Agents
Mapping requiredAgent records represent the broker or agent account tied to MLS participation. Listings reference an Agent ID but the Agent object itself stores contact details and credentials. We preserve listing-to-agent relationships during migration by mapping the agent ID as a property on each listing.
Custom Forms and Fields
Mapping requiredAgents create Custom Forms with fields beyond the standard name/email/phone set. The custom forms fields API exposes field names and schemas. We discover all custom field definitions during extraction and map them field-by-field into the target system.
MLS Boards
Not in this platformMLS Boards are external governance entities (e.g., local Realtor associations) that approve and supply IDX data. They are not records within an IDX Broker account. We do not migrate them; instead we preserve the MLS board identifier as metadata on each Listing.
