I like a nice clean site without too much on the home page. People mostly want to know where to go to look at homes. Give them a good MLS search and you're well on your way.

what was your site again?

Ok, typing quick as the last time the post went in the "bit bucket" I probably took so long composing it that I got logged off.
Whoops getting long winded again!

Speaking of MLS listings on web sites, I have a techie question.

I know I can use PHP scripts and MySql database so that the office personel can build and update thier listings for their web site.

I think it would be smoother if I could just make the site have some type of "front end" that would query the MLS databases that the realtors and brokers are already paying a membership for the capability to do that themselves. The real estat people I am doing the web site for are not technical and when I as if it is legal and within the terms of service for their MLS membership (if that is the correct term) their eyes roll back in their heads. I guess they are to confused to ask the organizations they are members of.

Anybody here know if I can do this (automated query of the MLS database) and if so how would I get the technical detail on doing it?

The realtors now log on the their MLS member web site to do the searches/querys and I can probaly figure out how to "fake" out that process but DO NOT want to get them in any hot water for violating the TOS of the MLS.
typing as fast as I can so sorry for typos.
Thanks
