Smart Framing MLS Integration - using this method of integration the MLS provider formats the IDX data and displays it on their own server and then provides the real estate agent or broker with a link or a group of links which they in turn provide to us. Using special coding, we pull the web pages for those links into a page or pages of your site, thus making it appear as if the IDX data is hosted within your website when in fact it is actually hosted on your MLS providers server.
Because the data is in fact formatted on the MLS' server, it limits your ability to apply any formatting to the displayed results, therefore, we recommend that you contact your MLS and ask to see samples of web pages using this method so that you can view how the page looks, the colors used, etc. to insure its design will coincide with your design. (Regardless of who your MLS provider is, if your MLS provider supports this method, we can support your MLS) - Not all MLS providers offer this method, therefore you will need to contact your MLS provider and ask if they support Smart Framing.
