REcolorado Syndication Program
Syndication is a fancy term used for the process of distributing listing information around the internet. Listing information is sent to third-party publishers, which include sites such as Homes.com, Realtor.com, Zillow.com, and Trulia.com. These sites, and many others, display real estate listings, but are not broker or agent sites that use IDX. REcolorado.com is also not a syndication site, but our own home search site.
Syndication is not an automatic process, but is within a broker’s control. Through the REcolorado Syndication Program, you can select syndication channels as you enter each of your listings in the Matrix MLS system.
There are benefits to syndication, but there are also drawbacks. The exposure your listing can get on national websites can be a benefit when it’s part of your marketing strategy. However, the more widely a listing is distributed, or syndicated, the more it becomes out of your control, making it difficult to update or remove.
The REcolorado Syndication Program protects our subscribers and your listing data with thoughtfully negotiated syndication agreements. Each syndication partner is required to keep all the listing information received through REcolorado up-to-date. If a change is made to the listing details or status, it must be updated on their website within a specific time frame. If you discover incorrect information through one of our syndication partners, REcolorado can assist you to have this information corrected.
