Hosting an MLS database on your website offers several advantages. First, it allows you to create a property listings search and generate leads. Second, it helps you increase the SEO content on your site and improve page ranking. Third, it provides more control over the properties you display than traditional IDX.
In this article, we’ll show you how Bright MLS members can host the Bright MLS database on WordPress using Realtyna’s Organic RETS Integration.
What Is Organic RETS Integration?
Organic RETS Integration is Realtyna’s RETS software for WordPress. The software allows agents and brokers to connect to their MLS, import listings, and recreate the MLS property database on their website.

Most IDX software provides a portal for your website visitors to view listings that reside elsewhere on the web. Organic RETS Integration provides a full import to ensure any listings seen on your site reside on your site.
