You say that they have lead management tools, yet they still enter every lead into ConnectMLS. I don't see how their tools improve conversion if they acknowledge that all of your leads should be using Connect.

If every single lead is in Connect, then you're doing the refining. Unless ConnectMLS has changed dramatically in the past six months, their tools still expect near-constant action from the Realtor for every lead.

You just have to pay for the custom templating, that's all.

You call them idiots, i call them idiots. Does it change the fact? not really. Anyhow merry christmas.
Well, that's a problem with IDX as a whole (and why it's going away) and why the VOW/IDX hybrid (sometimes called VOW 2.0) just doesn't work. As soon as the buyer finds another site that does show the entire MLS with clear, discount fees (read: RedFin), why bother with the guy who's playing games and withholding information?
