REAXML Property Data Feed

REAXML Property Data Feed

Introduction

Arosoftware provides an optional property data feed in 100% compliant REA XML format. This can be used to get property data out of the Arosoftware CRM and into an external system such as a website or application. Every time you upload a listing from within Arosoftware to your list of activated websites, we will send a copy of this data to the FTP location that you have supplied.
