• Hello our company has a real estate website running on WordPress.

    Our agency does not use a Multiple Listing Service that shows all available properties in our area that can be searched by agents that have credentials to access the MLS to have up to date information on properties that are available with all the data about the property that they need.

    Im sure this is possible but how where would I even start.

    Thanks.

    Here is really what an MLS is off of Wiki:

    The primary purpose of an MLS is to provide a facility to publish a “unilateral offer of compensation” by a listing broker, to other broker participants in that MLS. In other words, the commission rate that is offered by the listing broker is published within the MLS to other cooperating brokers. This offer of compensation is considered a contractual obligation, however it can be negotiated between the listing broker and the broker representing the buyer. Since the commission for a transaction as well as the property features are contained in the MLS system, it is in the best interests of the broker participants (and thereby the public) to maintain accurate and timely data.

    The additional benefit of MLS systems is that an MLS subscriber may search an MLS and retrieve information about all homes for sale by all participating brokers. MLS systems contain hundreds of fields of information about the features of a property. These fields are determined by real estate professionals who are knowledgeable and experienced in that local marketplace, whereas public real estate websites contain only a small subset of property data
