Multi-national real estate portals Condo.com and Houses.com have partnered with feed creator XML2U.com to automate the upload of agent listings. XML2U will be announcing the facility to current and future feed clients over the next few days making them aware that their XML2U feeds will be accepted by both Condo.com and Houses.com. Condo.com and Houses.com will be referring agents and brokers looking to list with them to XML2U to create the feeds.

This comes hard on the heals of XML2U addressing the New York gathering of real estate portals earlier this month at the Property Portal Workshop run by Simon Baker’s Classified Ad Ventures.

Corin Ashbee-Waugh added, “We are delighted to be working with forward thinking portals like Condo.com and Houses.com who recognize the benefits of promoting the automation of agent and broker listings. The lack of a feed can be a real barrier to agents and brokers considering joining another portal. A great many real estate professionals do not have feeds or the technical background to create one. Even if they can create a feed, the chances are it will involve their web developers (and therefore have a significant cost) and only be compatible with a very few portals. An XML2U feed can be created and maintained for as little as £10 ($16) a month, with no setup fees, and be compatible with virtually all portals and search engines. A real estate professional with an XML2U feed is able to automate the updating of their listings on an almost unlimited number of sites at very little expense.”

XML2U.com’s speciality is in combining the use of data extraction robots to collect property listings data directly from agent and broker websites with a bespoke feed generator designed to take the property data and create feeds in multiple formats suited to more than ninety per cent of the world’s portals and search engines.
