Native MLS® IDX Integration For Better Real Estate Websites

Building Your Website on a Real Estate First Platform

Get the real deal for a proper real estate website. Built from the ground-up for real estate, our native MLS® Reciprocity module offers significant performance advantages over generic solutions such as plugins for open source (WordPress), embedding 3rd party iFrames, or linking to a separate MLS® search page.

Better Google Ranking Potential With the Right Website Builder

Unlike the generic plugins or 3rd party iFrames, our native module ensures all listing pages and data are 100% under your own domain, nobody else’s. Our platform also auto-generates SEO-friendly meta title & description throughout the entire MLS® IDX infrastructure – loved by both Google™ and humans.

Upgrades Available For Unique Niche Domination

Go beyond just MLS® listings on your website (everybody has that now). Rich IDX data on neighbourhoods and city pages can get you to 1st page of Google for localized searches. Listings under custom boundaries not offered by your local MLS® can help you dominate on Google™ for your unique niche.

What’s New In 2024

Edmonton (RAE) MLS® Feed Upgrade to New API Provider

We overhauled our MLS® reciprocity integration module to work with their new MLS® vendor, Bridge Interactive. The new API offers more robust listings data for properties for sale in and around Edmonton, further enhancing our website platform’s capacities to serve Realtors® in and around Edmonton.

MLS® Listings Cache Module For Faster Listing Data Load

Listing details are now cached server-wide, allowing all websites showing the same MLS® reciprocity listing to use less resources and load pages faster. Don’t worry – your own listings with your enhanced descriptions, video and Matterport 3D tours, as well as floorplan PDFs still load distinctively on your own website.

Improvements and Bug Fixes Throughout MLS® Feeds

Commercial MLS® search bugs in Vancouver & Regional, photo feed issues on Kamloops and Kelowna, open house date and times on Vancouver Island are some of the major issues we resolved on our IDX powered website build platform. Photo import algorithms for your own listings became more flexible too.

What’s New In 2023

CREA DDF Connection Mechanism Upgraded

All regions feeding via CREA DDF (Kelowna, Ottawa, Penticton etc.) had the connection mechanisms upgraded to comply with better server-to-server encryption as per industry standards. This was in preparation of our major hardware upgrades coming in 2024.

Virtual Tours, Timezone And Address Bugs Fixed

Wrong or missing virtual tour URLs in some board feeds were repaired, and photo import issues related to East Coast time zones were resolved on all CREA DDF feeds. Addresses with unusual street names missing from the Edmonton MLS® were resolved.

Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island Bugs Fixed

Some commercial listings with oddball listing types in the Lower Mainland feed, and residential listings with odd city labels on Vancouver Island, were not syncing well. CREA DDF feed of listings without photos had display bugs too. All were resolved.

What’s New In 2022

AIR (SOREB + OMREB) Listing Filters Improved

Listings for beautiful lakefront properties in the Okanagan area can now be showcased better. By enabling a Waterfront property filter for the Kelowna, Penticton, Naramata, Osoyoos & region listings, our agents can add more visibility when showcasing the most sought after properties for sale.

Core Code Upgrades for IDX Feeds Across Canada

To adhere to constantly updating security & connection standards, we started numerous replacements of core connection modules as well as the photo fetch & store mechanism. We are also performing countless bug fixes, tweaks & cleanups.

What’s New In 2021

Following the merger of OMREB & SOREB, the MLS® feeds were merged on our cloud system letting the Realtors® in the area sync all residential & commercial listings from Revelstoke, Kelowna, Shuswap, Penticton, Osoyoos etc. on their websites!

The IDX feed was upgraded to modern RETS standard by the real estate board in Kamloops. We re-built our MLS® Reciprocity for the Kamloops/Merritt area listings to the newest standards, offering more frequent listings sync & faster photo processing.

Photo Processing & data modules Overhauled

CREA DDF native CDN

Photo distribution got even faster on Brixwork. CREA DDF provisioned URLs for photos are directly utilized without secondary processing. This upgrade was made possible by CREA’s feed moving to Cloudfront by AWS, just like Brixwork has been doing for years.

What’s New In 2019
