Press Release Summary: Customization is what makes searching for real estate online
easier for both Realtors and consumers.

Press Release Body: EUGENE, ORE. – IDX, Inc. is happy to welcome Realtor Ingrid Owen
with Coldwell Bankers Brokers of the Valley in Napa, Cal. to the growing list of
real estate agents and brokers choosing to customize their websites with the use of
custom IDX Broker software. Clients visiting Owens’ site can now create a unique
search to browse the thousands of listings on the Bay Area Real Estate Information
Services MLS (BAREIS) and use custom IDX tools to gather more information and help
them narrow down their results.

The seamlessly integrated IDX search allows clients to search BAREIS properties in
five different ways: basic, advanced, map, address, or listing ID. The map search
allows clients to view the property pinpointed on a satellite map powered by Google
Maps as well as view pinpoints of other properties for sale in the area, major roads
and landmarks, and proximity to other cities. Clients who wish to continue searching
for properties can save their search criteria and sign up to receive automatic email
updates as soon as properties matching their specifications become available on
BAREIS.

IDX Broker provides an administrative log-in section where Owen has access to client
contact information and saved search so that she can manage her new leads and follow
up in person with clients who are serious about buying. It is here that Owen can
also control the look of her site through the use of custom CSS and incorporate the
BAREIS property listings into her site with global wrappers. Owens can elect for
each of her listings to have dynamic title tags making each property page appear
unique and increase the chances of one of her properties being picked up by a major
search engine and distributed all over the internet.


About Ingrid Owen
“I moved to California from Missouri 20 years ago and have lived in Napa Valley for
the past six years. I enjoy wine tasting, reading and hiking, and I keep busy with
my 3-year-old beagle that needs lots of walks and is a lot of fun. I am continually
looking for ways to improve my business, health and relationships. I studied finance
at the University of Missouri in Columbia, and after working in sales for Xerox for
11 years, I earned my masters’ degree in counseling psychology from John F. Kennedy
University in Orinda, Calif. I recently started a hiking group called Hike NV. It’s
a group of professional men and women who meet regularly to have fun, get exercise
and meet new people.”
