Advanced Access Blog

Hello all,

I hope you are having a wonderful and productive weekend in real estate! In honor of the Martin Luther King Jr. day, our offices will be closed tomorrow, Monday January 18th. Normal hours will resume Tuesday January 19th at 7 AM Pacifc Time.

Good morning!

The Advanced Access headquarters are under construction. We are making additions to acommodate our growing staff. Since construction began last night, our building has had some issues which affect our incoming support calls and our internal systems. Client websites are not affected in any way.

Please be patient with us as we work with the construction crew to resolve these issues.

Our software team has been working hard to add more MLS’s to our list of available IDX feeds. Over the last three months, we have added 40 MLS’s! This means we can now provide an automatic listing feed and MLS search to thousands more websites!

Please contact us at 1-800-335-1563 to see if your MLS is on the list! We are adding more MLS’s each week, so check your email from Advanced Access often!

Don’t forget that with your IDX feed, you can upgrade to our enhanced IDX search and auto-email feature, QuickHomes®. QuickHomes® is a powerful lead-generation program that allows your website visitors to have their searches emailed to them, save their favorites, and more!
