What is Internet Data Exchange ( IDX )?

Internet Data Display (IDX) is a policy that allows brokers to exchange consent to display one another’s property listings on the Internet. This program is known by several names, including Internet Data Display (IDD) and Broker Reciprocity(sm), and several MLSs across the country have been doing it for years. But as of Jan. 1, 2002, NAR has mandated that all MLS must offer their participants a way to display the listings of other participants on their own Web sites. In other words, brokers can now post listing information directly from their local MLS on their own Web site without having to frame another other listing site — with some limitations.
