Welcome to Showcase IDX! We're excited to start working with you. Signing up couldn't be easier, but there are some hoops to jump through and we'll do our very best to make it as painless as possible.
Showcase IDX offers a 10-day free premium trial period to all new customers who sign up for the service. The process flow is as follows, so you can be prepared for the next steps:
- You fill out the first page of the sign-up form (displayed above), filling in your Agent Information, your Developer Information (if you have one), and the MLS you need.
Note - should you MLS not be available at the time of sign up, we can notify you when we do have the coverage. - The second page of the sign-up form will ask you for your Agent ID and your Office ID (these are the IDs that are used in the MLS when you list properties), as well as your Broker's Information (name and email). This is required in order to prepare the MLS IDX Agreement that will be to get you approved for the IDX display. If you are the broker, simply input the same information here.
- Once we have all the information we need and complete your signup, we will automatically send out the required MLS paperwork to get you approved by your MLS or board. This will be signed electronically via HelloSign. We do not accept downloaded PDFs of these documents so please sign them the way we send them to you.
- For some MLS's, this paperwork will also be sent to your broker to sign after you as the agent sign.
- This paperwork also includes your Showcase IDX customer agreement which lays out our relationship.
- For some MLS's, this paperwork will also be sent to your broker to sign after you as the agent sign.
- Once we get the paperwork signed by all parties, we submit the paperwork to the MLS for approval. If your MLS requires a second document be signed, this information will be included in your HelloSign document. Each MLS is different from its approval time-line. Some may be the same day or require no approval, others may take up to a week or two. We will keep you updated along the way. Approval time can also vary depending on how quickly we get the documents signed. Be sure to communicate with your broker that we may need their signature to move forward.
- Once we get MLS approval, we will send you an email titled Getting Started with Showcase IDX with everything you need to install the plugin. If you listed a developer when you signed up, we will CC them on this email. Your trial period starts at this point in the process.
- Your trial is completely free with full premium access. We also offer assisted set-up to help you get the plugin installed and working on your website quickly should you need it. We don't think you will as our plugin is very easy to navigate and use. There will be a link to a scheduling app in your email for a personal onboarding meeting that you can book at your convenience.
