You may have no idea what that means, so let me explain: My current favorite internet platform, WordPress, has just been made more friendly for Real Estate Agents and Brokers with a product created by a company out of California. A new App/Widget/Add-on (insert the term you prefer) has been created which will now allow all of your listings to feed to your self-hosted WordPress site or blog!!

Prior to this new product, there was no way to feed your listings from the MLS system to your WordPress site or blog. All properties would have to have been entered manually – and we all know what a drag that is!!

Of course, WordPress is a wonderful platform to run many different kinds of websites, not just real estate sites. They can be easily optimized for SEO (Search Engine Optimization), are easily maintained and updated, and offer hundreds if not thousands of add-ons to customize your site’s interface and user interaction.

If you don’t currently have a site powered by WordPress and would like to know more about getting one set up for you, contact me. Or, if you do currently have a WordPress site and would like maintenance help, or to find out more about the new IDX plugin, contact me! (WordPress is my specialty – my site, VIPAssisting.com, is powered by it.)
