Internet sites such as Trulia®, GoogleŽ and FrontDoorŽ offer services allowing you to market your listings through their directories for little to no cost. The best way of submitting a large number of listings to these services is by an "XML Feed", but far too often, creating these files requires an IT Professional who is knowledgeable in both XML and database technologies. RES provides a better way of providing your listing syndication without the high dependency upon technical resources.

When Entering Home Listings "By Hand" No Longer Makes Good Sense

If you maintain a large number of listings in a spreadsheet, database or other source, RES Corporate is the version for you. It works directly with your listings, to create the correct XML Feeds and automatically keep them updated on your server for distribution to each Web Syndicate.

• No Monthly Fees!
• Costs Less than hiring a programmer!
• Only one data source for all syndicates!

Perfect for those who . . .

• Maintain their listings in some type of file, spreadsheet, or database
• Have a large number of listings
• Want to automate their syndication
• Want to eliminate unnecessary duplicating by hand
• Want to increase their presence on the Web
• Want to provide increased marketing advantages to their staff
• Want customers directed back to your site, not someone elses
• Want more control over their listing data
• Want to submit their listings directly to the syndicates without the need of a "middle man"
• Want to take advantage of XML Technologies
• Want to reduce or eliminate monthly costs incurred by agents syndicating independently
• Want to convert agent's time behind the computer to more time spent with their customer's
