iHomefinder
ihomefinder.comiHomefinder is an AI-powered IDX and CRM platform offering MLS search, lead capture, and lead scoring tools for real estate agents and brokerages.
The verdict
iHomefinder is a strong choice when you want integrated lead scoring and CRM alongside IDX search, now as an AI-powered CRM + IDX platform with support for multiple website builders. If you want lower-cost IDX-only functionality and a large WordPress developer ecosystem, IDX Broker is a common alternative.
01 — Overview
What iHomefinder is, and isn't.
iHomefinder is an established IDX vendor, now owned by FRONTSTEPS (acquired 2017), that has repositioned itself as an AI-powered CRM + IDX platform. It provides MLS search, listing display, lead capture, and AI-powered lead scoring for agents, teams, and brokerages.
The platform offers three main tiers, renamed in 2026 to Lead Essentials (1 agent), Lead Maximizer (up to 7 agents, $399/mo), and Growth Pro (up to 10 agents). iHomefinder moved most pricing behind a demo: only Lead Maximizer's $399/mo rate is published, so Lead Essentials and Growth Pro require a quote. The platform supports WordPress, Wix, and Squarespace integrations and includes a dedicated mobile app for iOS and Android.
As with all IDX providers, MLS rules and pass-through fees can materially affect both cost and feature availability, especially around sold data, map features, and display requirements. A 10% annual billing discount applies, and add-ons include a $500 website setup, $25-50/mo per extra MLS, and $15-30/mo per extra seat.
