9 Steps to Add a NTREIS RETS Feed to a WordPress Website
Please note that the Real Estate Transaction Standard (RETS) has been deprecated and is no longer recommended for use in MLS/IDX integration. Consumers are advised to use the Real Estate Standards Organization (RESO) Web API, which provides a more efficient and secure way of accessing MLS/IDX data. We strongly encourage all users to transition to RESO Web API for a better and more reliable experience. Learn more
Centered in the Dallas Fort Worth metro area, NTREIS hosts one of the largest listing databases in the country.
Now NTREIS users can add a RETS feed to their WordPress website using Realtyna’s Organic RETS Integration.
What is Organic RETS Integration?
Organic RETS Integration is Realtyna’s RETS software for WordPress. The software allows NTREIS members to connect to the NTREIS database and integrate listings into their website via RETS feed.
