Automating MLS Listings

    Hello all,
    I am in the process of creating a WordPress site for a Realtor. What I’d like to do is add functionality to automate it so that whenever this realtor or the agents in his office add listings to the MLS, the site will automatically pull in those listings. I’ve found a few solutions, but quite frankly they are very expensive for a very small site. Any help is appreciated!
    Thanks
    Frank

    P.S. – If this isn’t the correct forum to list this could you please move it.

    Thanks! Yeah, I’ve looked at a bunch of those. Most require a subscription or an expensive setup. I’m doing this for a small real estate office and trying to do it as frugally as possible.

    What MLS does is way beyond the scope of this forum.

    Advice:

    However this works out for your client, just make sure as the dev. that you do not do anything against the TOS of MLS, as that would likely land you personally in litigation.

    (I have been contacted multiple times by new RE’s who for some reason thought listings were free – they are far from it). That said, the big players have large contractual services with MLS, and as an agent for them, you get to play for less (the good and the bad).
