To answer a few common questions regarding MLS integration in iProperty I wanted to run down and answer for those curious about the possibilities.
First, I’m not the developer of iProperty and I don’t have any real bias towards any product in particular. I do believe iProperty and the people who develop it to be very very professional.
Questions;
1) Can you have MLS listings into iProperty dynamically updated daily?
a) Yes!
2) People always ask if they can have categories different than those in the MLS data. For instance, their MLS may have three property classes like, residential, land, commercial and they want to filter for specific property types such as condos, townhouse, etc and have those in their own categories. 
a) The answer is Yes! It can be done if the MLS data has the subtypes available and it does not require separate RETS downloads to accommodate most of the time.
3) Can I have amenities from the MLS data appear in iProperty as amenities check mark items?
a) We get asked this a lot. Yes it can be done. We take a column that may have for instance (Cable TV,City Garbage,City Sewer,City Water,Electricity,Natural Gas,Telephone) and each of those items would be items in the amenities area of the site.
4) My MLS doesn’t have latitude and longitude in the MLS data, can I still have google map search features?
a) Yes! We have done this for clients where we geo-code after the MLS data is entered. There are provisions naturally but for the most part it is possible.
5) Can IDX also be added to an iProperty site?
a) Yes! 20% of all integrations we do are IDX.
6) I’m on a shared hosting account and don’t have the room to download several gigabytes of images, what can I do?
a) Three things can be done. You can upgrade your hosting package with your host provider, you can take advantage of the MLS’s media server and directly link the MLS photos, or you can hire people like vieleRETS.org to manage your images for you. I think vieleRETS charges $12 a month to host and manage the images, but don’t quote me.
