What it does<\/h3>\n

FW Real Estate ingests listings from external MLS \/ IDX feeds and generic property XML. Imported listings arrive with their photos, fields and agents mapped, stay current on a schedule, and never duplicate: the importer keys every property on its MLS reference.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

How it works<\/h3>\n
\n
1<\/span><\/span><\/div>
Connect a feed<\/div>
Point the importer at your MLS \/ IDX provider or an XML export.<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n
2<\/span><\/span><\/div>
Map the fields<\/div>
Feed fields land in the matching property fields; adjust the mapping once.<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n
3<\/span><\/span><\/div>
Sync on schedule<\/div>
New and changed listings import automatically, as often as you choose.<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n
4<\/span><\/span><\/div>
No duplicates<\/div>
Re-runs update the existing property via its MLS reference instead of creating a copy.<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The property set you are browsing was imported from a live installation, and every property carries its MLS reference. Open any listing and check the MLS # line.<\/p>\n
