Display MLS Listings on Your MyHome Website

We wish we could say yes, but unfortunately we haven’t seen any company that offers a true IDX service for free. There’s a good reason for that: hosting tens of thousands of property listings, managing all those photos, and syncing data multiple times a day requires serious infrastructure and ongoing maintenance. All of that adds up in cost.

Some MLS boards do allow you to embed a very basic listing search widget on your site, but it’s highly limited. This kind of solution offers no SEO benefit (search engines like Google can’t index the property info since it’s essentially embedded from elsewhere). It also can’t be styled to match your brand, and it usually lacks important features like lead capture or advanced search filters.

With IDX integration, you can showcase every MLS listing right on your own website — not just your personal listings. This means buyers can search the entire market, view property details, and reach out to you without ever leaving your site. It keeps potential clients on your page, so they’re not wandering off to other real estate portals to find homes.

IDX also adds lasting value to your site through SEO. Each listing page on your site can be indexed by search engines, helping more buyers find you online. In short, having IDX turns your website from a simple online business card into a powerful, dynamic home search tool that engages visitors and generates leads for you.

You have two main options for showing MLS listings on your website:

Option 1: Import MLS listings directly into WordPress
This method pulls all property data into your website’s database. While it might sound appealing to have everything stored locally, it’s very demanding. You’ll need powerful hosting, a reliable system to import and update tens of thousands of listings daily (sometimes multiple times a day), and developer help whenever your MLS changes its data format or rules. Over time, this can become expensive and require a lot of maintenance.

Option 2: Use a hosted IDX service that handles everything for you
This is the easier, more reliable route. A hosted service such as IDX Broker stores all listings on its own servers, keeps them perfectly in sync, and displays them on your site through an integration or plugin. You don’t have to worry about heavy hosting requirements, complex syncing, or technical updates — the service takes care of it all. It’s also more cost-effective in the long run because you avoid expensive hosting and frequent developer fees.

MyHome was built specifically for Option 2. It works exclusively with IDX Broker, a trusted platform with over 20 years in the industry and thousands of happy clients.

Option 1 is not supported by MyHome. There’s no way to import listings directly into your WordPress database. This means you won’t see MLS listings in your WordPress dashboard or design their templates with Elementor, as all listing templates are delivered and managed through the IDX Broker system.

IDX Broker is the service that connects your website to the MLS database. You can think of it as the engine behind your property search — it pulls in all available listings, keeps them updated automatically, and provides the search tools visitors use to find homes on your site.

IDX Plugin is an add-on that works alongside IDX Broker through their Developer Partner program. It provides custom templates and extra features, such as the polished listing layouts and advanced search forms. When you set IDX Plugin as your IDX Broker Developer Partner under the Free Partnership Plan, you get access to these premium templates and widgets at no extra cost.

Getting started is simple. Sign up for an IDX Broker account through this special link.

This waives the $100 IDX Broker setup fee and automatically enrolls you in the IDX Plugin Free Partnership Plan. You’ll get immediate access to the exclusive templates featured in the MyHome demo, advanced search widgets, and full support to get your site’s IDX up and running.

If you already have an active IDX Broker account, that’s great. To get the exact same widgets and templates shown on the MyHome IDX demo, simply register for an IDX Plugin account under this link. After logging in, you’ll find quick instructions on how to set it as your Developer Partner and activate the IDX Plugin Free Partnership Plan.
