How To Create A Neighborhood Listings Page on IDX Broker Platinum
There are many ways to create “Neighborhood Pages”. In this video I will be using IDX Broker PT Plugin, WordPress, and Genesis with Agent Evolution Child Theme.
I create the Neighborhood Pages on the IDX Broker platform so that you can have a map of all the listings and of course all of the listings on the same page.
You could, of course, also create a Neighborhood page on the WordPress Platform and Link to the actual listings. This may be useful if are planning on building super complex Neighborhood Pages.

this video is going to show how to make a neighborhood
0:03
search page on IDX broker platinum
0:06
The first thing we do is create
0:10
a page a listings
0:13
You do that under preferences and saved links
0:16
manage if you wanna go to a page you have already created and create a new one
0:21
create a new page is what we are going to do. We are going to use the Advanced search
0:26
that gives us the ability to search communities,
0:29
Developments, areas, however your MLS classifies them.
0:34
We want to do a residential search we wanna put
0:37
all listings for property types on there.
0:40
This particular client is working in Henderson
0:44
and for this page were gonna go ahead and look for the community
0:49
of Anthem. We’re gonna create a page full of listings
0:54
so I wanna show all listings, so I just can’t put 0 to a
0:57
really big number. Results for page
1:01
I like a lot but whatever you think, I select “newest listings”
1:05
so the newest listings show up on top. Depending on the MLS, IDX Broker is going to show you
1:11
all kinds of different ways of categorizing the listings. We see here with this MLS
1:19
we have the community name so we will search for Anthem and there it is.
1:23
Select that and the next steps in our process is
1:28
to actually create a page with all listings in Anthem
1:31
and the anthem community of Henderson NV.
1:36
I am gonna go ahead and call this Anthem
1:39
neighborhood Henderson NV. You can put in some meta tag also,
1:53
I don’t have it handy. Now here’s their part where we gonna
1:59
customize it a little bit. The sub header area is gonna show up above
2:03
the listings on that page. I’m gonna put a little neighborhood
2:07
write up and and a picture.
2:10
I come here a and add some
2:15
text and
2:18
pop it in here. I’m borrowed some in this text or
2:22
verbage from this site here.
2:29
This is actually the neighborhood site
2:33
so they shouldn’t mind me giving them
2:36
attribution (a link to original content) Add a little bit of text. Wikipedia
2:41
is real good, never take anything from another
2:45
agents site, and never take any content without giving credit or attribution.
2:51
That’s called stealing.
2:55
We have a little write up, got a little attribution link, let’s go ahead and
3:00
drop an image in. In order to do that though, the image has to be stored or hosted somewhere
3:04
so I am going to comeback
3:04
to the agents WordPress site.
3:08
Add new media and they have their
3:14
pictures here we can use,
3:19
Upload that picture.
3:23
I am gonna grab the URL and bring it back to a DX broker backend.
3:33
Insert image, image URL goes here,
3:37
the description is Anthem NV.
3:41
Appearance, I wanna go ahead and
3:45
align it right, I want the dimensions to be 400px wide,
3:49
this is just me, you can change it to whatever size you like.
3:52
I am going to put a little horizontal space, I like about 20 pixels of space and a 5 pixel
3:56
border.
3:57
I don’t want any margin on the right just on the left.
4:01
Instead of a black border I want
4:05
it to be a nice grey color. Insert the image,
4:12
I am also going to bold the word Anthem.
4:15
That is that I am going to go ahead and save and manage my links.
4:20
The page will
4:23
look something like this. I am going to style it up a little bit more.
4:31
If you scroll down you see all listings
4:35
for Sun City anthem and have yourself
4:39
a neighborhood page. FYI – I am also going to put an <h1>tag at the top of the content </h1>
We would love to hear from you...
