Featured Listings highlight your own listings, or your brokerage's own listings.
All accounts automatically populate a Featured Listings page with active listings in your MLS® System that match your agent ID* or office ID* (or multiple agent or office ID's in broker account plans)*. Featured Listings can also be displayed in various listing gallery widgets throughout your site.
Display Options
Here are some very useful display options for Featured Listings on your site:
- Including your own sold listings (where you represented the seller) in Featured Listings
- Including Supplemental listings (also known as "pocket" listings) in Featured Listings
- Choosing a default sorting preference for your Featured Listings page
- Showing your own listings first in search results
- Including your logo with your listings when they appear in search results
You can access the settings for these options in your account Control Panel:
- Login to your IDX Control Panel and select Setup at the top of the page.
- Select Listing Settings > Results & Featured to view your options.
Listing Details
You can also override the listing information and photos provided by your MLS® System for your Featured Listings. Use this option if you would like customized information and/or photos displayed with your own listings, instead of the information and photos entered in your MLS® System.
Here's how you can access this option in your account Control Panel:
- Select Listings at the top of the Control Panel and then select Active beneath the Manage Listings option.
- In the Active Listings window, click on a listing to modify it.
- After you click on an active listing, you will see the Modify Listing window. Select from any of the available options to make your desired changes.
Boards Without Agent IDs and Office IDs
Some real estate boards, including NJ-MCMLS, NY-REBNY, ON-TREB, and SC-HHIMLS, do not provide agent IDs or office IDs in IDX. For a list of affected boards and workaround instructions, please see Boards and MLS® Systems Without Agent IDs or Office IDs.
Items to Note
- You cannot show any listings that you or your brokerage don't represent in your Featured Listings.
- The above information is for your own Featured Listings only.
- It is against board rules, and state and provincial real estate advertising rules, to try to modify the data (such as photos, the listing agent remarks, and listing details) for general IDX listings (where you or your brokerage don't represent the seller).
- If you wish to highlight listings represented by other brokerages, you can post thumbnail links and comments (such as on a blog page) about those IDX listings, as long as you (1) link to the detailed IDX page that includes the name of the seller's representative and (2) don't change any listing details on the IDX listing
