IDX listings live on your WordPress or Joomla! site in 5 biz days, or you don't pay.

Standard integrations go live within 5 business days of the day we receive working feed credentials. If we miss that, the setup fee is refunded in full and you keep the work done so far. Two things sit outside the clock and we say so before you order: your board or provider approving your feed request, which is their timetable and not ours, and credentials that turn out not to work, where the clock starts when a working set arrives. Extended and Complex tiers carry their own quoted dates rather than this one.

Yes, both platforms are live and open. WordPress: realestatewordpress.fastw3b.com. Joomla: realestatejoomla.fastw3b.com. Those are the listing, search and agent pages your feed populates once the integration is done, running on a real install rather than a video.

Check yourself before paying:

• Standard ($399): one feed from MLSGrid, SparkAPI, Trestle, or CREA DDF; one property class; the standard field set (up to 30 fields).
• Extended ($699): you also need a second property class (sales AND rentals), custom fields beyond the standard set, a large historical backfill, or your feed is OpenImmo or Vebra Alto.
• Complex (quoted, from $1,250): multiple sources merged into one site, a provider outside the shipped set, or per-record business rules.

Not sure? Answer the form honestly and we confirm the tier in preflight, before work starts. We never force-fit a complex feed into a fixed tier.

Shipped connectors: MLSGrid, SparkAPI, and Trestle (RESO Web API), CREA DDF (Canada), OpenImmo (DACH), and Vebra Alto (UK). RETS is grandfathered: still supported for boards that run it, but with the industry sunset in progress we confirm your RETS feed is alive before promising any dates. Anything else routes to the Custom MLS Integration service with an honest quote.

Your MLS board or data provider typically charges $20-50/mo for feed access, billed to you directly in your name. That fee is not ours and never flows through us. If you do not have access yet, we help you identify the right feed and request it; board approval time sits outside our delivery clock.

Never in the order form, never in a ticket, never by email. The form asks only HOW you prefer to hand over access: a short call where you enter credentials yourself, a password manager share (1Password, Bitwarden, LastPass), or a temporary admin account you create and later remove. We delete access after completion.

Boards rotate credentials, providers change API versions, field structures shift. When that happens your site keeps showing stale listings and nothing looks broken. IDX Watch is a daily health check of the import (feed reachable, records flowing, photos syncing) with routine breaks fixed as part of the fee: $19/mo, or $190/yr prepaid, cancel anytime. Without a watch, a broken feed is a new diagnosis order.

Standard: 5 business days from the day working feed credentials are received. Extended: 7-10 business days. Complex: per the quote. Vendor-side approvals (board API access, Alto AppMarket) sit outside the clock; we tell you when the clock actually starts.

Yes, as the Complex tier: multi-source setups are quoted per case (for example residential from one board, commercial from another). Two independent Standard feeds on separate property classes can also be ordered as two Standard integrations.

WordPress 5.8 or later (tested to 7.0), and Joomla 4, 5 and 6, matching current FW Real Estate releases. On an older install, start with a platform update or ask about migration; answer "not sure" in the form and we check during preflight.

On a schedule you set, not by hand. The import runs as a scheduled job and saves its progress per record, so a run that hits a timeout on a large feed resumes where it stopped instead of starting over. Most sites run it a few times a day; a fast-moving board can run it hourly.

It comes off your site on the next run. When a record stops appearing in the feed the import removes it, and unpublishes it if removal is not possible, so a buyer never calls about a property that already left the market. Each run reports what it added, updated, removed and unpublished.

Yes, and the photos land on your server. Listing images are downloaded and resized into your own media library rather than hotlinked, so your pages do not depend on the provider's image hosting staying up. Map coordinates come from the feed where the provider supplies them, and coordinates you have already corrected by hand are kept rather than overwritten.

Yes, and the filter is applied at the source rather than after download, so you are not pulling and then discarding records you do not want. Residential only, commercial only, or a named set of classes mapped onto your own site categories. Which classes you need is one of the things confirmed in preflight, because it decides whether you are Standard or Extended.
