What is included in the subscription payment?
Your new mobile friendly website and our hosting.
How soon can I start using my website?
You can start using the website itself immediately. Once you subscribe, we will generate a new subdomain for you.
There is a wait time for the IDX activation as once you subscribe to our platform:
- we receive your IDX integration request and send it to your MLS association for approval;
- once your MLS association approves the IDX integration application, we will activate your IDX integration and listings will become live.
MLS application usually takes from 1 to 5 business days and depends on your MLS association.
Can I host my website elsewhere?
No. At the base, we are a SaaS (software as a service) platform, which means that the website as a service is provided by our code on our servers and cannot be executed outside our infrastructure. It also means that you don’t need to worry about: looking for a hosting company, servers downtime, maintaining databases and keeping the code updated.

No you don’t. Our platform makes adding and editing the content easy on your website. Moreover you can choose the feel and look of your future website from the ever growing list of themes during the subscription process.

Do I need to contact my MLS association after I sign up?
We send the IDX integration request with your information to your MLS association and await their response. So usually there is no need to contact your MLS association.
