About Unlock MLS

Where Unlock MLS covers

Central Texas, centered on the Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos metro area, including Travis, Williamson and Hays counties.

Formerly ACTRIS (Austin/Central Texas Realty Information Service), renamed Unlock MLS in 2023. Overseen by the Austin Board of REALTORS®, with about 20,000 members. Since June 1, 2025, REALTOR® membership is not required for access.

What's included

What your Unlock MLS IDX website does

01

Live, searchable Unlock MLS listings

Buyers search current Unlock MLS inventory by price, beds, baths, and area without leaving your site, with listings refreshed automatically from the feed.

02

Map search and saved searches

Map-based browsing, saved searches, and new-listing alerts keep buyers coming back to your site instead of a portal.

03

Lead capture into your CRM

Registration prompts and showing requests go straight to your CRM. Nobody else gets a copy of the lead.

04

Featured and sold listings

Put your own Unlock MLS listings and sold history up front, so sellers see what you've closed before they call.

05

Community and neighborhood pages

SEO-built pages for the neighborhoods you serve, each pulling the matching listings so they rank and convert.

06

MLS-compliant display

Disclaimers, broker attribution, and display rules set up to Unlock MLS's requirements before launch.

FAQ

Unlock MLS IDX questions

Can I put Unlock MLS listings on my real estate website?

Yes. IDX Broker covers Unlock MLS, and we connect Unlock MLS IDX on every site we build for agents, teams, and brokerages in Texas. Buyers search live Unlock MLS listings on your site and register directly with you.

Do I need broker approval for Unlock MLS IDX?

Usually, yes. Most MLSs, including Unlock MLS, issue IDX feeds through the broker of record, so your managing broker signs the IDX agreement. We prepare the paperwork and handle the request with IDX Broker.

How long does it take to get Unlock MLS IDX live?

Feed approval is set by Unlock MLS and often takes a few business days to a couple of weeks once your broker signs. We design and build your site in parallel, so approval rarely delays launch.

What does a Unlock MLS IDX website cost?

DMR websites start at $2,500 (templated), $3,500 (semi-custom), or $8,500 (fully custom), plus a $650 per 4 weeks retainer. IDX Broker's subscription and any Unlock MLS IDX fee are billed separately by those providers.

Can you add Unlock MLS IDX to my existing website?

IDX Broker works with most website platforms, so in many cases we can. If your current site isn't generating leads, we'll recommend a rebuild instead, because the 14-day qualified-lead guarantee only comes with a DMR site.
