Integrating a RETS feed into your real estate WordPress website allows
you to add a search and display interface for your MLS listings and
provide your clients with faster and more accurate information
automatically.
As a real estate agent, it is essential to have a functional, user-friendly
website where potential buyers can easily browse listings. Installing the
best IDX plugin for WordPress will ensure that your potential clients get
the most accurate and current results possible.
Whether you are a solo real estate agent or part of a bigger brokerage, having
an online precense is a critical part of finding and closing sales. Not only
do many people start their search online before contacting an agent, but a
place for your existing clients to search and view properties can help
increase brand awareness and give you more authority in your local market. Building a website from scratch can be a big project, though, and it doesn’t
always make sense to spend time and money on custom website development. That’s
why we’ve focused on building
a plug-and-play solution to easily
creating WordPress IDX websites for your real estate business. With that in mind, this post is aimed to give you a general idea of what it
takes to build a real estate website to display and search your MLS
listings: Sections Select a domain name and hosting provider Choose a free or paid theme Install the SimplyRETS plugin Add pages and short-codes
Today, I’m excited to announce the v1.3.4 release of our WordPress plugin which

Estate property search experience. SimplyRETS believes in making IDX and RETS searches better and easier to
user. We’re constantly looking for ways to improve both our
WordPress Plugin and our
API in this regard.
