RETS IQ’s data share solution allows data sharing without data aggregation. Rather than collect and store data, when a search is performed the data is retrieved from participating MLS databases via RETS, the data is standardized to a single format and returned on the fly in a single real-time feed.

Security and access restrictions continue to be managed and maintained by each individual MLS. Any RETS-enabled MLS or other RETS client application can access every participating MLS when their RETS user has permissions in that MLS.

RETS IQ’s data share solution is flexible enough to add additional MLSs or even other data sharing initiatives. When new MLSs join the data share no changes are required for pre-existing participants, additional MLSs simply need to map their data to the existing system.

This solution does not require the MLS to change its database structure or conform to a specific set of rules because of the on-the- fly translation. The flexibility of this solution lets MLSs leverage their existing RETS investment, get a data share started quickly, stay in control of their data, and provides a cost-effective method of real-time data sharing. Support online searches as well as RETS based searches across multiple participating MLSs.
