DNJ Marketing got all the essential tools for real estate agents that should be found on their realtor websites because they are powerful aids in looking for new prospects. They offer a very valuable service to site visitors because they are given access to the listings that are held by various realtors serving the particular area that they are interested in.

Thus, their research work need to be only done in one location, and guess whom they are likely to contact when they have finally decided to make a purchase.


IDXΒ  could be coupled with lead generator applications (Landing Page and Lead Capture Form) that collects the contact information provided by site visitors who have questions or are inquiring about certain properties. These programs could be set up in such a way that they could automatically send replies or notify you about certain inquiries. These applications and the IDX solutions can employ text messaging to ensure almost instantaneous notification on the generation of a lead so that agents or brokers would be able to perform the necessary actions.

Another important feature of IDX provides a way for a prospect to monitor developments regarding certain properties or homes.
