Here's how to add an MLS search to your website:

An MLS (multiple listing service) search allows visitors to find real estate listings in their area. Real estate professionals can add this feature to their websites through a simple implementation process.

Follow these steps to add an MLS search:

  1. Navigate to your page editor and locate where you want the search to appear
  2. Click the insertion point and select "Code" from the block menu
  3. Obtain the HTML embed code from your IDX service provider
  4. Copy and paste the provided code into the code block

Important Notes:

  • The search preview may not be visible while logged into the admin interface
  • Some IDX services require additional code implementation
  • Ensure your service provider offers compatible embed codes for your platform
  • Verify all functionality after implementation

For complex implementations, consider:

  • Consulting with your IDX service provider
  • Working with a website developer
  • Using premium features for advanced integration options
  • Testing thoroughly across different devices and browsers

Always follow best practices for custom code implementation and maintain regular updates to ensure optimal functionality.
