Miami MLS IDX: adding MIAMI MLS (Southeast Florida Multiple Listing Service) listings to your website

MIAMI MLS is the multiple listing service of the MIAMI Association of REALTORS®. Its rules call it the Southeast Florida Multiple Listing Service (SEFMLS). If you are a MIAMI member and want live listings on your own website, you will need an IDX feed from the MLS and a display that follows its rules. This page covers both, using what MIAMI publishes. Cyber IDX is not affiliated with MIAMI or its MLS, so check the details with the MLS before you sign anything.

If you are new to IDX, read what IDX is and how it works first.

Who runs MIAMI MLS and what it covers

MIAMI MLS is owned and run by the MIAMI Association of REALTORS®. On May 11, 2026, MIAMI merged with Broward, Palm Beaches & St. Lucie Realtors® (RWorld), the association behind BeachesMLS. The combined group now calls itself MIAMI REALTORS® + RWorld. Its proposed new name, Miami and South Florida REALTORS®, still needs approval from the National Association of REALTORS®.

MIAMI’s coverage map says the MLS includes listings from its own members and from data-share partners. Through those agreements it covers Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, Martin and St. Lucie counties. Its IDX FAQ adds that the IDX feed covers properties listed in the MIAMI MLS or marked with its “(A)” board indicator, so not every listing you can see in the MLS will necessarily be in your IDX feed.

Data sharing and the BeachesMLS merger

When the merger closed, MIAMI said members will soon get free IDX feeds that include the listings of both MIAMI MLS and BeachesMLS. RWorld’s CEO put it this way: there will be “no more buying IDX feeds from multiple organizations.” In HousingWire’s report, MIAMI’s CEO said brokers will no longer have to join a second association to show all the listings on their websites.

The merged association says the changes will come in phases, and members can keep using their current MLS for now. If you also belong to BeachesMLS, see our BeachesMLS IDX page. Before you build search pages around a particular county, ask the MLS what your feed includes today.

How MIAMI members get IDX access

MIAMI calls IDX a free member benefit. Its IDX Services page lists three options:

• Matrix HTML frameable link. A free search link you can put on your site straight from Matrix. It is simple, but offers little design or SEO control.
• Bridge API. Open to agents, brokers and vendors. MIAMI’s FAQ says agents apply through the Bridge API dashboard. Brokers approve or decline their agents’ Bridge feeds, and a third-party vendor can apply for data on your behalf.
• Trestle. Only for head brokers and vendors. Brokers sign up through the Trestle subscription wizard.

Who signs, and how long it takes

For agents, the request starts on the Bridge side and then needs your broker’s approval. For broker feeds, the head broker signs up through Trestle. MIAMI’s FAQ says IDX access is only for MLS participants, so you must be a MIAMI member. It also says applications are usually approved within 48 hours, and delays usually come from missing broker approvals or skipped steps.

Published pricing

MIAMI’s IDX and API Pricing page currently lists:

• An IDX feed with all MIAMI MLS data, listed as now free for agents and brokers. The page notes this applies to participants in MIAMI’s data share.
• One free feed per broker. Extra websites, up to five, cost $100 a year each.
• Trestle pricing for brokers of $30 a month for their own data, or $100 a month for an MLS-wide feed.
• No added Bridge charge for members.

An older MIAMI IDX FAQ lists a different price for extra feeds. Ask the IDX department (IDX@miamire.com) to confirm what applies to you. Vendor tiers are priced separately and are paid by the IDX provider.

IDX display rules to follow

MIAMI’s MLS Rules and Regulations (revised August 21, 2025) include a full IDX policy. Key requirements include:

• Tell the MLS. You must notify the MLS before showing IDX listings and give it access to your site to check compliance.
• Credit the listing firm. Each listing must show the listing firm and the email or phone number the listing broker provided. Use a clearly visible color and a typeface at least as large as the median text in the listing data.
• Show your own brokerage. Your IDX display must clearly show the name of the brokerage you work under.
• Refresh at least every 12 hours. Listing data and any displays fed by it must update at least every 12 hours.
• Respect seller opt-outs. Leave out any listing or address that the seller has asked to keep off the internet.
• Use the disclaimer. The MLS may require a notice that the data is deemed reliable but not guaranteed.

The rules also limit IDX display to participants who are REALTOR® members of MIAMI. A good IDX product handles most of this, but you are still responsible for your site.

Does IDX Broker support MIAMI MLS?

Yes. IDX Broker’s coverage page lists a combined “BeachesMLS & Miami AOR (RAPB+GFLR+MiamiRE)” feed. The associations it names include the REALTOR® Association of Greater Miami and the REALTOR® Association of Miami-Dade County, and the feed is delivered through Trestle’s Web API. Because the merger is still changing the feeds, ask us to confirm which IDX Broker feed fits your membership before you order.

Steps to get MIAMI MLS listings on your website

1. Check your membership. IDX is for MIAMI MLS participants, so make sure your membership and MLS access are active.
2. Talk to your broker. Agent feeds need broker approval, and broker feeds are set up by the head broker.
3. Pick your IDX provider. For a full search with lead capture and SEO-friendly pages, pick a vendor such as IDX Broker rather than a frameable link. You can see it working on our live demos.
4. Submit the data request. Agents apply through Bridge and brokers through Trestle, or your vendor sends the request for you. Our MLS approval guide walks through the paperwork.
5. Install on WordPress. Once the feed is approved, add the search, featured listings and saved-search pages to your site. Our WordPress IDX guide covers how to set it up.
6. Check compliance. Confirm that attribution, your brokerage name, disclaimers and refresh timing meet MIAMI’s rules before you launch.
