How to Connect the New RMLS Alliance IDX to a WordPress Website
The RMLS Alliance is a new, mega MLS joining together 4 of the largest MLS in Illinois and Iowa. The new RMLS Alliance will cover 61 counties and serve over 2 million people as soon as this fall. This is a major merger combining Capital Area Realtors MLS, Egyptian Board of Realtors MLS, Peoria Area Association of Realtors MLS and the Quad City Realtor Association MLS. The decision came out of convenience for the consumer and more streamlined listing portals. So how can you connect the new RMLS Alliance IDX feed to your WordPress website?
