MRIS IDX soon to be available to Real Estate Webmasters customers - new pricing!

For those of you who are MRIS members and were following the thread regarding prohibitive pricing from MRIS - we have some good news. MRIS has decided to adjust their pricing model for data so that agents can now enjoy more choice when it comes to their IDX Vendors - most importantly, you will now be able to take advantage of REW's built in search engine friendly IDX.

Here is how the new pricing breaks down:

For agents: (Brokers please see broker pricing tba)

$1000 per year annual developer fee (regardless of how many agents use the IDX)
Yearly data fees (These are based on the number of subscribers and is a fee charged by MRIS)

• 1-25 Agents $5000 USD per year
• 26-100 Agents $10,000 USD per year
• 101-199 Agents $15,000 USD per year

There is similar pricing for over 200 agents, but at this point, let's just address these numbers so that we can get those of you who have been waiting for us to offer MRIS going.

How these fees effect you (The customer)

As is our policy - any fees charged directly to REW for data access are passed on to the customer (In addition to REW IDX fees) thus depending on the number of MRIS customers who sign up, the yearly fees charged will be reduced accordingly.

Here are some simple numbers for the first 25 (In 5 customer increments)

• 1 agent $6000 USD per year per agent
• 5 agents $1200USD per year per agent
• 10 agents $600 USD per year per agent
• 15 agents $400 USD per year per agent
• 20 agents $300 USD per year per agent
• 25 agents $240 USD per year per agent

For those of you who like to figure things out monthly (Although these fees are yearly this means if there was only 1 customer that customer would be paying $500 per month to access data, if there were 25 customers each customer would only be paying $20 per month for data.

So what we need to know is - who is in! The more who opt in for CORE REW IDX, the less expensive your fees. If you wish to get other agents from your office involved etc, so that each of you can get an REW IDX, by all means.

*Note - our current MRIS IDX subscribers are grandfathered by MRIS, and do not come into the equation above thus the next MRIS "Agent" subscriber to sign up represents 1 agent in the above structure.

REW IDX fees:

A CORE REW IDX is available as either a search engine friendly build in (To a custom REW site, or a template) or as an iframe (Not advised). CORE Setup is 20 hours programming, 5 hours skinning ($2500 USD) and $360 USD per year IDX data hosting (This is an REW fee, not to be confused with an MRIS fee)
