I’ve been thoroughly impressed with the product support. They always respond promptly and are incredibly helpful. The owner is actively involved with the software, consistently listens to customer feedback, and makes improvements. It’s clear they care about delivering a top-notch experience. Highly recommended!

I have worked with Paul Eastwood with BuyingBuddy.com for many years. This is my favorite SEO friendly WordPress IDX plugin. We work with top producers in the real estate website industry and the plugin MUST perform, look good and have great customer service from the IDX provider. BuyingBuddy.com is the BEST!Cherie YoungLuxury Designs, LLC

I have to say that I am impressed with this little IDX plugin, Buying Buddy. I came across it, after researching several IDX options and tried this one, after the positive reviews I found. The free trial is what helped me fall in love with the Buying Buddy Plugin. I downloaded the plugin from my available plugins in the Wordpress.org, repository and the rest, is history… I was pleasantly surprised how easy it was for me to get set up. It is not a heavy or bloated plugin at all, that is why I call it little. However, it is jam packed with so many customization options, that are user friendly. I am a new user, but I absolutely love this plugin and look forward to using it on my self hosted Wordpress site. Thanks Buying Buddy plugin team for creating a user friendly plugin that is user friendly and easy to use. I have been a loyal Wordpress user for 15 years and still get nervous about new plugins, because you never know if it will be easy or if you will need to know code. Buying Buddy is a great free plugin that Realtors to utilize their IDX feeds without needing a programmer. Thanks again guys for such a great IDX plugin that is intuitive and can be used immediately out the box. No extensive training necessary to use this plugin.

Starting up my own web design agency for realtor, and being a realtor myself, I took months researching all the options for IDX feed for not only my personal brand but for my clients. Not only is it an IDX feed but it also has a CRM. And for the price, it’s unheard of and the best value on the market. The features it comes with blows IDX Broker, Ihomefinder and Showcase IDX out of the water. Not only is it featured packed, it also has a beautiful layout right out of the box. I did side by side tests with colleges asking which one they preferred visually, compared to other idx and they all agreed Buying Buddy. Now the number one thing I love the most is the support. Unfortunately in real estate services, I feel like alot of companies drop the ball in help and support. Paul and his team at buying buddy has always been great and quick problem solving. And that’s what I look for the most when I do business is support, and you def get that with them
