RSS feed of MLS data

[GregPDX]

I would love to put all the local MLS data on my site via RSS feed. But our MLS doesn't have an RSS feed.

Anybody else out there doing this?

I'm sure REW can do this, But i'm almost sure you will need IDX access from your MLS.

MLS boards will do everything they can to prohibit data scraping (which is what you are proposing here by populating RSS data into your site) - the proper way to do it is to go through your board and receive access to the raw data feed and custom code your own solution (under proper license) - I believe data access in your market is $100 USD per month.

Ted is correct though we do provide hosted custom (built in search engine friendly) IDX solutions as well. I will be attended the RMLS tradeshow in Portland next month (we are one of the platinum sponsors) if you have questions and will be at the show let me know

I plan on attending, so I'll stop by and talk..

Definitely - I heard through the grapevine that we may just have a few massage therapists in the booth with their fancy backrub chairs so a little extra incentive for folks to stop by

Is your IDX solution able to be indexed by Google? There is a company in our town that has 4000 pages indexed. It is basically the entire MLS. They had someone code this top-secret IDX for about $5000.
