Common FAQs

At ReatlyPlug, we strive to provide excellent support to all visitors… not just our Members.  If you’re unable to find an answer to your question on this page, use the contact form below and we’ll provide you with a timely response.

Does RealtyPlug Require an IDX Feed?

No, RealtyPlug uses Oodle API, which aggregates real estate listings from just about everywhere in the US, Canada, and UK.

We are currently working on an IDX version, too, which we plan to launch in the coming months. At that time, you'll be able to choose either Oodle or your IDX as a source for searches. The difference is that Oodle can provide listings for just about anywhere, along with some FSBO and Foreclosure listings that the IDX feed won't have. The IDX, obviously, will only include listings data from your local MLS, but will have more detailed information. Also, with the IDX version, you must obtain permission from your local MLS board, which isn't needed withe the Oodle version.

Can I add a search to multiple websites & blogs with just account?

Yes, all you need is one RealtyPlug account and you can add a real estate to search to an unlimited number of websites and blogs, in addition to your Facebook page.
