Real estate agents who are co-sponsored by a lender can connect their custom IDX. Once connected, we'll encourage your buyers to explore listings on your site within Home Search and Market Explorer. To set up your preferred listing website, follow the instructions below. Click here to view CTA placement.

Step-by-step instructions

1. Click ACCOUNT on the left side of your portal, navigate to the Power Ups tab, and click +Get Started on the Custom Listings card

2. Enter in your personal IDX - be sure your link follows this format: https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-search/{zipcode} - your link must be copied from your search bar and substitute the word "{zipcode}" for the actual numbers listed in your search link.

Do not add in the physical zip code, make sure it is "{zipcode}" verbatim. See image below.

3. Test your link to be sure it works by clicking Preview URL.

4. Looks good? Click Save.

If you have issues, send customer support a direct message using the pink icon located at the bottom right corner of your screen.

Make sure your URL is compatible

Step 1: Search a zip code on your site within the search box! (See photo below)

Step 2: Take a look at your address bar after you’ve searched a zip code - does the zip code appear somewhere in the URL?

If YES, continue to step 3!

If NO, our site may not be compatible to host your Custom Home Search site.

Step 3: You may now see a complex URL like the one here:

This URL is for example purposes only:
https://www.homebotapp.com/admin/agent/customhomesearch/lookhere/zipcode=80211/singlefamily/57383746/homebotrocks/homebotisthebest/5b8977f2/bathcount/c3abfb018665e470

Step 4: This step is the most important - so follow it closely - replace the zip code shown (80211) in this example with {zipcode} - yes include those fabulous brackets!

Step 5: Your new URL should now look something like this: https://www.homebotapp.com/admin/agent/customhomesearch/lookhere/zipcode={zipcode}/single family/57383746/homebotrocks/homebotisthebest/5b8977f2/bathcount/c3abfb018665e470

Step 6: You can now paste your URL into our nifty “Paste listing URL” field and preview! If it looks good check off the “Looks good?” Box and click “Save”!

Did you made it to Step 3 and something doesn’t look quite right? Send us a chat with your link and one of our AWESOME Support Reps will check it out! Happy Homebotting!
