This deal was just announced today. If you’re keeping track eNeighborhoods now handles IDX for remax.com, Century21.com, ColdwellBanker.com, and ERA.com. The big question is what’s left??
This is a HUGE win for eNeighborhoods! Congrats to Andy Woolley and his team for bringing this one home.
eNeighborhoods and Realogy partner
to deliver national Internet Data Exchange (IDX) solution
IDX solution will power property search for
CENTURY 21®, Coldwell Banker® and ERA® Web sites
BOCA RATON, Fla. (Nov. 12, 2007) — eNeighborhoods, a leading compiler of real estate home and neighborhood information and a division of Dominion Enterprises, has announced a partnership with Realogy Corporation, a global provider of real estate and relocation services, to deliver a national Internet Data Exchange (IDX) solution. Realogy has signed a multi-year agreement to use eNeighborhoods’ Enterprise IDX platform to power the property search for consumers visiting the CENTURY 21®, Coldwell Banker® and ERA® real estate brand Web sites.
eNeighborhoods will power the national property search on the Realogy brand Web sites, each of which will be connected to a national network of brand-customized IDX Web sites hosted by eNeighborhoods on behalf of CENTURY 21®, Coldwell Banker® and ERA® franchisees in the United States and Canada. eNeighborhoods also will power the national property search on the future Better Homes and Gardens Real EstateSM brand Web site, Realogy’s newest brand.
“This is a unique opportunity for eNeighborhoods to work with several of the world’s leading real estate brands through our partnership with Realogy,” said Andy Woolley, eNeighborhoods vice president of enterprise services. “We’ve worked diligently over the past several years to build a powerful IDX platform capable of servicing the world’s largest real estate networks. We’re honored Realogy recognized our unique abilities and selected us as their partner to deliver this key strategic initiative.”
eNeighborhoods operates the industry’s largest network of IDX Web sites, compiling more than 3.5 million IDX listings from over 425 MLS organizations on behalf of their broker and agent customers. The turn-key solution covers every aspect of IDX necessary for large-scale deployments, from the online fulfillment of broker-MLS permission forms to data aggregation and security to listing display compliancy.
“Both brokers and consumers will benefit from our IDX solution,” said Craig Cuyar, chief information officer, Realogy Franchise Group. “All property listings will be displayed in a consistent and clear format, regardless of the listing source. Visitors to our brand Web sites will be able to find all the local market information they are looking for faster and easier. We’re excited about this new partnership, and we look forward to a highly collaborative relationship with eNeighborhoods.”
“We expect the vast majority of U.S. property listings to be searchable from the Realogy brand sites in the summer of 2008,” said Greg Robertson, eNeighborhoods vice president and general manager. “The pairing of eNeighborhoods’ advanced IDX technology with Realogy’s LeadRouter system will result in a competitive advantage for their agents and brokers, and a better property search experience for consumers.”
