IDX & MLS

MLS support varies by market, and RealFoyer does not publish a coverage count because no single number would be true across every board.

Your board is confirmed before you commit, rather than after. The MLS coverage page lists boards by region along with the data route each would use.

Listing data reaches RealFoyer through a feed from your MLS, using the RESO Web API standard where the board offers it.

Boards differ in how they distribute data, so a connection may run through an aggregator or a national standard — Trestle, MLS Grid, CREA DDF and PropTx are the common routes. These are the industry's plumbing rather than RealFoyer features, and which one applies is determined by your board.

Yes, where you or your brokerage hold the required approvals for each board.

Every board sets its own rules, fees and display permissions independently, so a second connection is a separate approval rather than a setting you switch on. Availability has to be confirmed per MLS.

Sold-listing display depends on your board. RealFoyer shows sold data only where the connected MLS and the data-use terms you agreed to permit it.

This is one of the most common differences between two agents on the same platform in different markets, so confirm it for your board rather than assuming.

Refresh frequency is set by your connected MLS and its rules, not by a single interval RealFoyer applies everywhere.

Because boards differ, RealFoyer reports the actual sync status for your connection rather than promising a universal refresh rate. If listing freshness matters to how you sell, ask about your specific board.

No. Listing pages on a RealFoyer site are ungated by default, meaning a visitor can read a listing without creating an account.

That is a deliberate choice rather than a missing feature. Gated listings are not indexed listings, and being findable in search is most of the reason an IDX website is worth having. Registration is offered where it earns its place — saving a search, saving a favourite, setting up alerts.

Display rules come from your connected board, and RealFoyer shows only the capabilities that board actually permits.

What this means in practice: two RealFoyer sites in different markets can legitimately differ in what they show — sold data, days on market, or how listings must be attributed — because their boards' agreements differ. Your specific obligations are set by the agreement you sign with your MLS.
