Want visitors to search for homes directly from your Agent Website?

AGENTVIEW gives you several ways to add property search to your website, making it easier for potential buyers to explore available listings and connect with you.

The setup depends on whether you're using Basic Agent Website or Agent Website Pro.

• Basic Agent Website: Connect a property-search service you already have through your MLS, brokerage, or IDX provider.

• Agent Website Pro: Connect approved MLS listing data directly to your website using AGENTVIEW's Integrated Property Search.

Let's explore both options and how to get them set up.

Step 1: Open Your Property Search Settings

1. Log in to your AGENTVIEW account.

2. From the navigation menu, select My Agent Website.

3. Open the Agent Website Builder.

4. Click the Property Search tab.

The options you see will depend on your Agent Website plan.

Property Search for Basic Agent Websites

If you're using the Basic Agent Website, you can connect an existing property-search service provided by your MLS, brokerage, or IDX company.

AGENTVIEW offers two options:

• Third-Party URL: Send visitors to an existing property-search webpage.

• MLS / IDX Iframe: Display a compatible property-search system within your Agent Website.

Both options allow you to offer property search without having to build your own listing database.

Option 1: Connect a Property Search URL

This is usually the easiest way to add property search to your Basic Agent Website.

If your MLS, brokerage, or IDX provider already gives you a webpage where clients can search for properties, you can connect that page to AGENTVIEW.

How to Set It Up

1. Open the Property Search tab.

2. From the dropdown menu, select Third-Party URL.

3. Enter the complete property-search URL provided by your MLS, brokerage, or IDX provider.

4. Save your settings.

5. Click Preview My Website to review your changes.

From your website, click Search Properties to make sure the correct property-search page opens.

Where Do You Get Your Property Search URL?

Your MLS, brokerage, or IDX provider may already offer a public property-search page.

If you're unsure where to find the link, contact your provider and ask:

"Do you provide a property-search URL that I can connect to my real estate website?"

Good to Know: With this option, visitors are directed to the property-search webpage supplied by your provider. The search experience and available features are managed by that provider.

Option 2: Connect an MLS / IDX Iframe

Want visitors to search for properties while remaining visually within your Agent Website?

If your MLS or IDX provider supports it, you can use an iframe.

An iframe allows a compatible property-search webpage to appear inside another website.

How to Set It Up

1. Open the Property Search tab.

2. Select MLS / IDX Iframe from the dropdown menu.

3. Enter the iframe information supplied by your provider.

4. Save your settings.

5. Click Preview My Website to test your property-search page.

Where Do You Get an Iframe?

Your MLS or IDX provider must supply the iframe information.

You may find it in your provider's website or IDX settings, or you can contact their support team and ask whether they offer an embeddable property-search iframe.

Important: Not every MLS or IDX provider supports iframe embedding.

AGENTVIEW can display a compatible iframe, but it cannot create one for a service that doesn't offer it.

If your provider doesn't support iframe embedding, you can use the Third-Party URL option instead.

Which Basic Property Search Option Should You Choose?

Both options give your website visitors access to property listings, but the experience is slightly different.

Our Recommendation: If your provider offers both options, consider which experience works best for your visitors.

An iframe can create a more connected website experience, while a third-party URL is often easier to set up and maintain.

Keep in mind that the listing information, search tools, registration features, and other capabilities are controlled by your MLS or IDX provider.

Step 2: Preview and Test Your Basic Property Search

After saving your property-search settings, take a moment to make sure everything is working.

1. Click Preview My Website.

2. From your website, select Search Properties.

3. Confirm that the correct property-search page appears.

4. Try searching for a property.

5. Check how the search looks and works on your mobile phone.

If you're using an iframe and the search doesn't display correctly, your provider may have restrictions on embedding its website.

In that case, contact your provider or consider switching to the Third-Party URL option.

Integrated Property Search with Agent Website Pro

If you're using Agent Website Pro, you have access to a more advanced option called Integrated Property Search.

Unlike Basic property search, which connects to an outside provider's webpage, Integrated Property Search connects approved MLS listing data directly to your AGENTVIEW Agent Website.

This creates a more connected experience for visitors and allows property-search activity to work alongside other AGENTVIEW features.

Once your connection is approved and activated, visitors can:

• Search MLS Listings: Explore available properties from your connected MLS.

• View Property Details: Review listing information and available property photos.

• Create a Website Account: Register for an account on your Agent Website.

• Save Favorite Properties: Keep track of homes they're interested in.

• Save Property Searches: Save their preferred search criteria.

• Receive Listing Alerts: Get updates based on their saved searches.

• Request Information: Contact you about properties they'd like to learn more about.

• Request Showings: Submit requests to schedule property viewings.

Because the property-search experience is integrated with AGENTVIEW, registered visitor activity can also become available through your CRM and Agent Website tools.

This can help you better understand your leads' property interests and support more relevant follow-up conversations.

How to Connect Your MLS with Agent Website Pro

Before Integrated Property Search can be activated, your MLS organization must approve the connection.

Here's how to begin:

1. Open My Agent Website.

2. Go to the Property Search tab in your Agent Website Builder.

3. Find Integrated Property Search.

4. Click Begin MLS Connection.

AGENTVIEW will guide you through a connection request that collects your:

• Real estate license information

• Brokerage details

• Managing broker's contact information

• MLS organization and membership IDs

• Website information required for approval

Depending on your MLS, additional agreements, verification, or brokerage authorization may be required.

Good to Know: Submitting a connection request doesn't immediately activate MLS property search. Your MLS must complete its approval process before the connection can be enabled.

For detailed instructions, see our support article Connecting MLS Property Search to Your Agent Website Pro.

Can You Continue Working on Your Website During Approval?

Absolutely!

You don't need to stop building your Agent Website while your MLS connection is being reviewed.

You can continue updating your:

• Website design and homepage

• About page

• Client testimonials

• Featured listings

• Other website settings

Once your MLS connection is approved and activated, Integrated Property Search can be added to your existing Agent Website without rebuilding it.

Basic vs. Pro: Understanding the Difference

Here's a quick comparison to help you understand the two options.

Both options can provide a useful property-search experience for your clients.

The biggest difference is how closely property search is connected with your AGENTVIEW account.

Making the Most of Property Search

Whether you use Basic or Pro, offering property search can help turn your website into a more valuable resource for potential buyers.

A few helpful tips:

• Test Your Search: Make sure visitors can easily find and explore properties.

• Think About Mobile Visitors: Check that your property-search experience works well on phones.

• Keep Your Website Updated: Make sure your contact details and other website information are accurate.

• Make Follow-Up a Priority: Respond to property inquiries and showing requests promptly.

• Review Your Options: If you'd like deeper integration with your CRM, explore the features available with Agent Website Pro.

Quick Tip: If you already have an IDX property-search service through your brokerage, start by checking whether it provides a URL or iframe you can use with your Basic Agent Website.

If you're looking for a more integrated experience with website accounts, saved properties, listing alerts, and CRM-connected activity, Agent Website Pro offers additional tools to support your lead generation and follow-up strategy.
