Why aeroidx wins

Coverage that bends to you

Flexible MLS access modes mean we onboard the board you need, not the boards we already cached. Solo agent or 50-broker agency — same platform, scoped access.

AI that helps agents close, not replace them

Six AI capabilities tuned for real estate: natural-language search, property Q&A, drafted emails, smart suggestions, agent coaching, AI-assisted site setup. The agent stays in the loop; the AI does the typing.

Built for resale

Multi-tenant white-label portal with per-client branding, per-client pricing, and an audit log for impersonation. The only IDX shipping this at this price.

Common questions

I can't find my MLS in your list — what happens?

We onboard new boards on request. Flexible access modes mean your MLS contract terms are enforced at the API layer once integration completes. If you're switching from IDX Broker or iHomefinder, send us your board name and we'll confirm timing.

How does aeroidx compare to iHomefinder's promo pricing?

iHomefinder's $39.99 promo expires; their list price is $150 Solo / $160 Team. Aeroidx is $99 Single / $199 Team with no promo cliff — AI, full API access, and the agency portal are included, not upsells.

How does AeroIDX integrate with my website?

AeroIDX renders search, maps, and listing pages directly on your root domain at the paths you choose — no required subdomain, no iframe wrapper, no vendor URL in the address bar. SEO equity stays on your domain.

Can I resell aeroidx to my agents under my own brand?

Yes. The white-label agency portal supports per-client branding, per-client pricing, and multi-tenant data isolation. Impersonate any client account from one dashboard with the action logged for compliance.

What does the API actually let me do?

REST v1 with full read/write on listings, leads, and saved searches. Webhooks for inbound events. Granular API keys so each integration has its own scope. An MCP server lets you connect Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Windsurf to your lead data directly.

Do the AI features need my own OpenAI key?

AI features run on aeroidx infrastructure and are included in plan pricing. If you want to bring your own key for tighter cost control, that's supported on team and agency plans.

Run your IDX on your terms.

Live MLS, AI for agents, full API access, and a white-label portal — in one plan.
