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.

This “Organic” IDX system can boost the SEO content on a user’s site and improve page rankings.
