[Rets-dev] Creating Something Similiar to SubmitYourListings.com

[Dane Maxwell]

No I don't think that we have a backend. We use homes.com

For our MLS area in Des Moines Iowa, the broker has to get access
to the feed, and then gives access to the feed to homes.com - for example.

I looked at Listhub.net, that is very impressive, and is exactly what I'm
looking
to create.

What questions do I need to know the answers to about my IDX feed for you
to better help?
