All iHomefinder accounts include an option to display Featured Listings on your website. Your Featured Listings are IDX listings where you or your brokerage office represent the seller, based on your MLS Agent ID and/or Office ID. A dedicated page is included that automatically populates with your Featured Listings, and there are widget and gallery options to display your Featured Listings on any page on your site.
How Featured Listings Are Identified
Featured Listings are identified in your account with a setting called the Featured Properties Identifier. Use this setting to enter your Agent and/or Office ID’s in your account by logging into your IDX Control Panel and selecting Setup > Account > MLS Setup.
If your iHomefinder account is a broker account used on an office/team website, the agent bio pages included with your account will automatically display each agent’s listings using their agent code. To enter this information in a broker account for agent bio pages, you can follow our instructions in this article.
Agent Or Office Listings
In addition to the ID’s entered as the Featured Properties Identifier, another account option is used to determine how the Agent and Office codes/ID’s are used to populate Featured Listings on your site. This gives you the flexibility to display the appropriate listings for your situation.
Agent Code As Primary
Your Featured Listings will default to displaying active listings under one or more Agent code. If there are no active listings under the Agent code(s), then listings under your Office code will be displayed as your featured listings.
Office Code As Primary
Your featured listings will show the listings for the brokerage office you belong to.
These settings are controlled by iHomefinder support team. You can contact them whenever you’d like this setting changed. Just send an email to [email protected].
For more details and tips on these settings, please refer to our Knowledge Base article.
