The process includes an application where we interview each business interested in displaying listing data on their website. If a company meets our criteria and is willing to work within the REALTOR.ca DDF® guidelines, we’ll enter into an agreement. Once the agreement is signed, the vendor will receive their data feed.

REALTOR.ca DDF® is operated by the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA). We work on behalf of REALTORS® to boost the exposure of their listings. Listings provided through REALTOR.ca DDF® are for advertising purposes only, and the leads must be sent to the listing agent through our Leads API. A full list of rules and restrictions can be found here. We recommend reading through these rules before applying to become a Real Estate Advertising Website.

VOW – Virtual office websites allow visitors to register with a brokerage’s website using a password and to search the website for MLS® System listings. VOW feeds often include private remarks and sold prices which are governed by different rules than IDX and REALTOR. Ca DDF® data feeds.

IDX – An internet data exchange allows brokerages, through reciprocal agreements, to display each other’s listings on their websites for advertising purposes.

DDF® – Similar to IDX, REALTOR.ca DDF® is for advertising purposes, however only REALTOR.ca DDF® can provide the quantity of listings, the accuracy of data and the level of security your business requires.
