SEATTLE and VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 28, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Retsly, a
software company that collects and standardizes real estate data
from multiple listing services (MLSs) and more than 3,000 counties,
today announced that several new MLSs have made their data
available through its Application Programming Interface (API),
including the Miami Association of REALTORS®, one of the largest
MLSs in the country.
Retsly partners with MLSs to make their data available in a
standardized format and provides tools enabling MLSs to grant
access to software developers so they can create new products and
services for real estate professionals. The new products and
services are instantly available to every MLS which participates
with Retsly. Retsly makes it easier for developers to build new
apps while enabling MLSs to maintain full control over their data
at all times.
"As more MLSs make their data available through Retsly, the more
potential there is for innovations that empower real estate
professionals to be more effective across all areas of their
businesses – ultimately leading to happier buyers, sellers, renters
and agents," said Errol Samuelson,
Zillow Group chief industry development officer. "Through our
outreach to the developer community, we've seen some incredible
products be created for agents and brokers. With more data and
better tools available to developers, the more quickly our industry
will move forward."
"The Retsly solution will make it easier for software providers
to work with our MLS and provide our members with access to
innovative new products that make their jobs easier," said
Teresa King Kinney, Miami
Association of REALTORS® chief executive officer. "At the same
time, Retsly gives us the tools to manage access to our data and
keep it secure."
More than ten MLSs now make their data available through Retsly,
including recently added MLSs: the Ocean
County Board of REALTORS® in New
Jersey, the Oakville,
Ontario MLS, and the Alaska Multiple Listing Service.
