There is NO SETUP FEE.

For the $49 monthly fee you get the full package needed to run and update MLS Import successfully, with no work from your end: 

• We adapt MLS IMPORT to supported themes updates (*please see the list compatible with our product).
• We adapt MLS Import to RESO and dictionary standards changes.
• We adapt MLS Import software to any server configuration changes that happen on MLS end.
• We do any bug fixing required in MLS Import.

To install and import listings from MLS to your website can take just few hours, depending on the volume of data you wish to publish.

However, since our plugins is based on RESO API access, each client must get access to the API server data directly from his desired MLS. Only registered members can get access to such data and they must contact their MLS personally to be given the specific credentials.  This part of the process can take 1 or more days, depending on each MLS.

No, we do not import thousands of images (or any image). We make sure images are served from your MLS so your server is not overcrowded by thousands of images. 

You can check if your MLS is on the supported list here. If your MLS is not on the list, but you would like to know if it’s possible to use your MLS, contact us through email or chat. 

You control how many listings you want to import.  You have control to select which properties as well. Check our help for more information.

You will need PHP 7 (minimum) to run MLS Import. 

Some MLS associations can have 100k listings. To use your chosen theme design and features seamlessly, we have to import the data into your database. Images will not be imported! They are displayed from MLS server. However, having a large database can increase the stress on your server.

Because of that, your hosting should be prepared to showcase thousands of listings. A dedicated VPS or server is recommended if you plan to publish thousands of listings. 

Yes, you can cancel MLS Import at any time. Subscriptions are month-to-month. But if you cancel, keep in mind your MLS connection will shut down.

Sure. If you want to make 2 or multiple separate imports, it’s possible. The previous imports are saved and safe. 

MLS Import checks in your MLS if there are changes added to your listings twice a day. If there are modifications made, MLS Import automatically syncs your imported properties to your MLS data. 

As long as your server can handle it, you can import as many properties as you want. The time it takes to complete import depends on your hosting and number of properties you select to import.
