iHomefinder’s Eureka IDX solution is the advanced portal-quality MLS search that’s leveling the playing field. Now agents and Brokers can offer a similar search to that of top portal sites like Zillow, Trulia, and Redfin with Eureka IDX solution. This the latest and maybe the most advanced IDX plugin for WordPress real estate websites – let’s review.
“Until now, most agents and brokerages couldn’t provide an experience on par with the major search portals. This proves especially troubling when agents purchase leads from Zillow, send them to their sites and then offer a poor search experience,” said Brett DeSchepper, President of iHomefinder. “Eureka fills the gap by offering a well-designed, mobile-first search experience that keeps visitors engaged on agents’ sites.”
Some homebuyers and sellers begin searching on these massive portal sites like Zillow, but once they get familiar with those search tools, they may find the IDX on your site more difficult to navigate (Learn about What is IDX?). iHomefinder’s Eureka IDX solution changes the game by bridging the gap between IDX and portals, giving leads an intuitive portal quality search with a customer friendly, simple interface. It’s the latest, and maybe the most advanced IDX plug-in for WordPress real estate websites – our area of expertise. Let’s review some of the new features of the iHomefinder Eureka IDX solution.

Homebuyers can begin their search using a universal search bar with inputs for locations such as cities, neighborhoods, subdivisions, school districts, etc. as well as addresses and MLS IDs. The results page and map search are fully integrated, with a large map on the left and listings with large scrollable photos on the right, and everything is responsive so mobile users have equal ease of use to that of desktop users. This is crucial to landing new leads as 60% and more of homebuyers primarily use only a mobile device to search.
Pricing, home address, number of beds and baths, square footage, listing status, and a full gallery of photos can be seen for each listing immediately from the results page. It’s so easy to use and review results, your leads won’t have any reason to return to Zillow or Redfin. But if you’re wavering on how important it really is to have an IDX search on your site (I mean, leads can just go back to Zillow right?) think of this – the competition! You don’t want other agents and brokers appearing as advertisements while your leads are searching, if they find the listing of their dreams YOU need to be the one to get their contact info and the Eureka IDX solution will help you do just that.
Leads can save searches and you’ll be able to track what searches your homebuyers are performing and which listings they’re saving as favorites. While this was already part of Optima IDX, the new Eureka IDX is more inviting, if not a little addicting. This thoughtful and easy to use design makes searching enticing for both techy homebuyers looking for a first home and seasoned buyers – a must have for today’s cutting edge real estate websites!
