Automate property syncing with MLS/IDX/XML integration
Properties update methods
You can keep your real estate website up-to-date in three different ways:
- Manually, when each property is added and edited manually. This method is free but time-consuming.
- Export/import, when properties tables are exported, edited, and imported manually. This method is less time-consuming, then the manual one. However, it is suitable for websites with a small number of properties updated once in two-three days. The more property ads are updated using this method, the better chance of making a mistake in properties tables.
- Automated, when an integration to the properties database (MLS/IDX) is handled via API calls or XML/CSV. This method is effortless and time-saving. MLS/IDX integration allows to automatically pull broker's listings from the MLS/IDX database and get them published directly on the website. As a result, keeping your website constantly connected to the MLS/IDX database allows you to fill your website with up-to-date content.
