Bring REcolorado listings into your own WordPress site, with any theme. MLS Import makes each one a real page on your own domain. REcolorado is on our MLS list. Open a support ticket and we turn it on. REcolorado must also approve your data license.
REcolorado is the largest MLS in Colorado. It serves "more than 26,000 real estate professionals" in October 2026, says its About page. Those pros work "throughout the state and beyond" too.
It has run since 1984 (REcolorado release). Its legal name is Metrolist, Inc. It does business as REcolorado (Terms of Use).
It serves members of four groups:
1. Denver Metro Association of REALTORS
2. South Metro Denver REALTOR Association
3. Mountain Metro Association of REALTORS
4. REALTORS of Central Colorado
It calls itself "a data and services company." In a January 11, 2024 release, it said it was "the power behind more than 75% of residential real estate transactions in the state" (2024 release).
Members list and search in Matrix. Data for websites now comes through Bridge. So your site starts with a data license. It does not start with your Matrix login.
REcolorado used to belong to two REALTOR groups. Now a private firm owns it. DMAR and SMDRA agreed to sell their shares to MAZL, LLC. REcolorado's sale FAQ says the sale was final on September 27, 2024 (sale FAQ). The price was not made public.
DMAR wrote to its members on July 8, 2024. DMAR said Joseph E. Burks is the only buyer. There are no other investors. A bank pays for the deal. DMAR said a split of the MLS from the groups "aims to protect REcolorado from ongoing antitrust litigation and improve its management" (DMAR letter).
Dana Bennett is now President and CEO. The About page lists Joseph E. Burks and Claudio Rielo as owners.
What this means for your site: you sign your data license with REcolorado itself. You do not sign it with your REALTOR group.
REcolorado's sale FAQ makes three promises:
1. "Our data share partnerships will remain intact."
2. Fees stay the same "through 2025." That promise covered 2025 only.
3. Any rise after that will be "minimal and market based."
The same FAQ says REcolorado has opted in to the NAR settlement. It also says MAZL "is a private entity and not a Private Equity Firm" (sale FAQ).
The buyer made a promise too. In the DMAR letter, Burks said MAZL "is committed to honoring the current REcolorado data and privacy policies." He said data licensing would aim "to meet the needs of the brokers" (DMAR letter).
What this means for your site: the price today is $62.50 a month for most roles, as of October 10, 2026. Check the join page before you set your budget.
REcolorado shares data with other MLSs. It shares with IRES MLS, so listings from both show inside the MLS system. It shares data through RPR with the Pikes Peak Association of REALTORS. It also uses IntraMatrix to reach other MLSs across the US (data share page).
In January 2024, REcolorado signed four more deals (2024 release):
1. FMLS
2. MLSListings
3. MIAMI Association of Realtors
4. Heartland MLS
On August 18, 2022, it said yes to mixed listings on broker IDX sites (2022 release). The display rules below cover what a mixed site must show.
What this means for your site: these shares serve members inside Matrix. REcolorado has not said that shared listings reach an IDX feed. Plan your site on REcolorado's own listings.
REcolorado names 11 counties as its coverage area. The page was last updated on November 7, 2024 (county list).
REcolorado members work in Matrix. The services page says you can "Manage all your listings in one intuitive system" (services page). Members sign in through the CONNECT dashboard. There is also the REcolorado App, to "Access your listings and client data on the go."
The account portal moved this year. On May 28, 2026, the MLS said the URL "has changed from pros.recolorado.com to account.recolorado.com" (newsletter). Save the new address.
Why does this matter for a website? CONNECT is also your door to Bridge. From October 2026, members log in to Bridge through CONNECT to ask for data. So keep your CONNECT login active.
Here is the simple split. Matrix is where you list and search. Bridge is where your site's data comes from.
The MLS calls Bridge Interactive "our exclusive data delivery platform" (data page). All new data users ask for access there. New data users fill out a license in Bridge. All four feed types live there: IDX, VOW, Back Office and PDAP. Vendors make their own Bridge account. Members log in to Bridge through CONNECT.
This is a new setup. RISMedia reported in February 2022 that REcolorado was joining MLS Grid for its data feeds (RISMedia). On July 9, 2026, REcolorado said it was moving from MLS Grid to Bridge.
REcolorado has not given an end date for older feeds. Do you hold one now? Check the timing with REcolorado before you switch.
For REcolorado's own license, start in Bridge. Then follow the five steps below. Your MLS Import ticket covers the rest.
RESO sets the shared rules for how MLS data moves from one system to another. RESO keeps two separate records for REcolorado.
The first is RESO's Web API report for REcolorado. It lists the Web API as certified, in a report dated 2022 (RESO report). That report came before the move to Bridge.
The second is RESO's certificate page. It lists REcolorado as "Passed Current," dated September 26, 2022 (RESO certificates). RESO's records also show REcolorado's Data Dictionary as not certified. The Data Dictionary is RESO's list of standard field names.
Why it matters for import: MLS Import reads a RESO Web API feed. Open a support ticket, and we tell you what approval and credentials you need. Want to see more boards? Check our RESO-certified MLS list.
This is the usual route. Subscribers are Participants, Managing Brokers, agents, admins and staff. From October 2026, they ask for data in Bridge. They log in through CONNECT (data page).
You can join only if your office takes part. It must have an active Participant (join page). Ask your broker first.
You need a valid real estate broker's license. Appraisers need a state license or certificate to appraise. Without one, you can't join (IDX & VOW Policy).
New vendors can ask for data in Bridge now. A PDAP feed needs more. The office's Participant must sign a deal with three parties. It names the vendor.
The IDX rule: your IDX site must be under the control of one subscriber. That subscriber must sign a data license with the MLS (policy 1.2).
You need it to show listings to the public on a broker or agent website. This is the feed for a WordPress site. Vendors must follow the IDX display rules.
Shows listings behind a sign-up or login wall. Visitors must register first. A VOW follows its own rules in the same policy.
For tools that brokers and agents use in-house. The MLS says these feeds "are not for public-facing websites" (data page).
Participant Data Access Policy. It gives an office its own listing data for in-house use. A vendor may ask for it in Bridge. Access waits until the Participant signs a deal with three parties, the vendor too.
You get one data feed per Bridge application. Back Office is the only exception. One Back Office feed can cover more than one approved use (data page).
So plan each use as its own application. A public WordPress site needs an IDX application. A login-only search for clients needs a VOW application.
The MLS reads your use case. Then it picks the license for you. Not sure which feed fits? Ask the data licensing team before you apply.
What about cost? The MLS posts no price for feeds. Its data page says to ask the data licensing team about pricing (data page).
The MLS now sends listing data through Bridge Interactive. It calls Bridge its "exclusive data delivery platform" (data page). This is REcolorado's own route to a data feed. Bridge is where REcolorado gives out its data license. These are the five steps from that page:
Create or log in to your Bridge account. Vendors make a Bridge account or log in. Subscribers log in to Bridge through the CONNECT dashboard. That means Participants, Managing Brokers, agents, admins and staff. It starts in October 2026.
Create an application. Say what your product is and how you will use the data. You get one feed per application, except Back Office.
Request data access. In your application, choose Data Access, then Request Data Access. Search for REcolorado in MLS Datasets. Click Apply.
Complete the license terms. The MLS reviews your request. It sends the license that fits your use. Fill out the license and the questions in Bridge.
Get access. When your license is approved, you get a note that access is granted. Then you can start your setup.
Two IDX terms to plan for. Register every domain that shows IDX content. And give the MLS direct access to check that your site follows the rules (policy 1.3).
📌 Pro Tip: Register your new domain with REcolorado before launch day. Do it before you show any IDX listings. Add it to your launch list next to the disclaimer.
The July 9, 2026 newsletter set a plan: vendors in July, more access in August and September (newsletter). The data page now says subscribers can ask for data from October 2026.
Email [email protected]. Ask about feed types, terms and timing before you apply.

REcolorado is on the MLS Import list. You ask us to turn it on with a support ticket. REcolorado must also approve your data license.
The rules here come from the IDX & VOW Policy, Revised April 2026, unless noted.
Your IDX site must refresh all MLS data at least once every 12 hours. MLS Import is set to check for changes every hour. Make sure your host runs it.
Show at least 500 listings per search, or half of the matches if that is fewer. Never show more than 2,500. Map pins with no other data are exempt.
Don't show Expired or Withdrawn listings. The MLS bans them on IDX sites.
Don't show sold data that is more than three years old, unless you ask the MLS for it.
Tell the MLS every domain that shows IDX content. Domain names that mislead are not allowed.
Next to the home's details, show four things. Show the listing brokerage and the listing number. Show the credit fields and the status. Show your own brokerage name in a color and type that's easy to see.
Never say visitors can "search the MLS" or "access the MLS" on your site. Your site is not the MLS.
Never show a seller's or occupant's name, phone or email. Show no compensation fields. The MLS does not allow them at any stage (April 30, 2026).
A seller can hide the listing or its address. Turn off comments and value estimates (AVMs) when asked. Show only some listings? Post this line: "Some IDX listings have been excluded from this website."
Say IDX data is for consumers' personal, non-commercial use (1.3.10). Say any other use of your site's data is banned (1.3.9). Post a DMCA notice too (1.4.11).
Name the cooperating brokerage, or show: "Properties displayed may be listed or sold by various Subscribers in the MLS" (1.4.2). Required text can't be smaller than your typical listing text. Tiny displays link to the full one.
A thumbnail shows no more than eight facts, like price, beds and baths. Another member's listing in a thumbnail can't carry your contact info or brand (1.4.4).
"Based on information submitted to the MLS as of (date and time MLS data was obtained). All data is obtained from various sources and may not have been verified by broker or the MLS. Supplied open house information is subject to change without notice. All information should be independently reviewed and verified for accuracy. Properties may or may not be listed by the office/agent presenting the information."
Each listing must show its source (policy 1.3.13). The 2022 release on mixed sites also asked for listing broker credit and the IDX logo (2022 release).
Got a DMCA notice? Tell the MLS within 24 hours. Write to [email protected].
It "may result in a fine" (policy 1.5). The MLS can also pause or end your license until you fix the problem.
Login sites follow their own VOW rules in the same policy.
Some homes stay out of feeds on purpose. A seller can ask for a Private Exclusive listing. It is only for homes, not other kinds of property. The MLS says these listings "do not appear in other MLS data feeds while they are on market" (April 7, 2026 post). No public marketing is allowed. That means no online ads, social posts, yard signs or open houses.
The agent can move the home to the regular MLS at any time. Once moved, it can't go back (Policy Essentials). After it closes, it shows like any normal sale.
There is one inside view. Agents in the same office may see it through their office feed if they have a PDAP.
What this means for you: a home you know is for sale may not show on your site. That can be the seller's choice. It is not always an import fault.
Some data is banned from display. IDX sites may not show Expired or Withdrawn listings. Compensation details are not allowed in the MLS at any time. That holds even after a listing closes (April 30, 2026 newsletter).
Some listings may not flow into IDX. The MLS shares data with IRES, FMLS and other MLSs. It also has Coming Soon listings. And it has a Closed Off MLS type for homes sold outside the MLS. It has not said if these flow into an IDX feed.
So ask before you promise anything to buyers. Write to the data licensing team (see contacts below). Ask which statuses your IDX feed will carry. Ask which shared listings it will carry too. Then set up your site's search pages to match what you get.
You pay a monthly fee and a one-time setup fee. Both depend on your role. You pay these dues to REcolorado. They are apart from MLS Import.
We bill MLS Import: $49 a month or $504 a year, after a 30-day free trial. REcolorado's join page lists the prices below, as of October 10, 2026 (join page).
For members whose main MLS is somewhere else. REcolorado's secondary MLS page lists Premium at $62.50 a month. Limited Access is $27 a month, for Associates only. With Limited Access, the MLS enters your listings for $50 each. New customers get a free three-month trial. Managing Brokers, Participants and Appraisers must keep Premium (secondary MLS page).
Cancel at any time, except with a listing in Active or Pending status. Fees may apply if you cancel and reopen (secondary MLS page).
The MLS posts no price for IDX, VOW, Back Office or PDAP feeds. Its data page says to ask [email protected] about pricing (data page).
After the 2024 sale, the MLS said it would keep fees the same "through 2025." It said any rise after that would be "minimal and market based" (sale FAQ). The join page shows $62.50 today.
July 9, 2026
REcolorado said it was moving its data platform from MLS Grid to Bridge Interactive. It gave the reason as "greater flexibility" to "support evolving data needs" (July 9 newsletter).
The newsletter set out a plan. Data vendors would get Bridge onboarding news that month. More access for brokers, agents and other data users would come through August and September. Managing brokers and agents would be asked this fall to do "a few simple steps" in Bridge.
Now the data page sets the rule. From October 2026, subscribers log in to Bridge through CONNECT to ask for data.
What this means for you: Bridge is REcolorado's own route for data licenses. Your MLS Import ticket tells you what your setup needs. The MLS has not posted an end date for older feeds.
April 2026
The current IDX & VOW Policy is marked "Revised April 2026" (policy PDF). It is the rule book for any site that shows REcolorado listings.
REcolorado has not posted a list of what changed from the last version. So check your site against this PDF, not an older copy you saved. The rules it holds now are in the display rules above.
Two posts from the same month add to it. On April 7, 2026, the MLS explained Private Exclusive listings (post). They stay out of other data feeds while on the market. On April 30, 2026, it told members that compensation details are never allowed in the MLS (newsletter).
What this means for you: read the April 2026 PDF before you launch. Then set your IDX pages to match it.
October 7, 2026
The October 1 newsletter says that from October 7, members see an updated Matrix Systems License Agreement when they sign in to Matrix. They must read and accept it (October 1 newsletter).
The new terms "restrict the use of AI and automated tools to access or interact with the Matrix interface" (newsletter). Tools that help people with disabilities use Matrix are still allowed. The same issue added a CONNECT Chatbot to help members find answers.
What this means for you: these terms cover Matrix, the screen agents work in. They are not about the data feed. So never scrape Matrix to fill your site. Use a licensed feed. MLS Import reads RESO Web API data. Open a support ticket, and we tell you what your setup needs.
It is the licensed listing data the MLS sends to approved users. Bridge Interactive is its "exclusive data delivery platform" (data page). There are four feed types: IDX, VOW, Back Office and PDAP. You ask for a feed in Bridge. Then you sign the license the MLS picks for your use.
Yes. RESO lists REcolorado's Web API as certified, in a report dated 2022 (RESO). Today the MLS sends data through Bridge Interactive. You get access once the MLS approves your license.
Open an MLS Import support ticket and ask us to turn on REcolorado. Our team tells you which approval and credentials you need from the MLS. REcolorado's own feed steps are in the request section.
You need IDX. The MLS says you need IDX when you show listing data to the public on a broker or agent website. VOW is for listings behind a login. Back Office feeds are not for public sites. PDAP gives an office its own data for in-house use.
REcolorado's join page lists $62.50 a month for most roles, as of October 10, 2026 (join page). Unlicensed Admins pay $20. Setup runs from $0 to $275, by role. Taxes are extra. The MLS posts no price for data feeds. These dues are apart from MLS Import, which is $49 a month after a 30-day free trial.
Today the MLS names Bridge Interactive its only data platform. On July 9, 2026, it said it was moving from MLS Grid to Bridge. That is REcolorado's route to a data license.
MAZL, LLC owns it. Two REALTOR groups, DMAR and SMDRA, sold their shares. REcolorado's sale FAQ says the sale was final on September 27, 2024 (sale FAQ). The MLS said its data share deals would stay. The buyer, Joseph E. Burks, said he would honor its data and privacy rules. Dana Bennett is President and CEO.
Not always. The IDX policy lets a data company run IDX sites for brokers or agents. That company still needs a data license. Each IDX site must be under one subscriber who signed a data license. A PDAP feed needs the office Participant to sign a three-party deal.
Join REcolorado to unlock the feed. Then import it with MLS Import.
