Real Estate Syndicate (Real Syndicate)

Real Syndicate integrates Atom, RSS, and XML to syndicate real estate information to news syndication and aggregators to client RSS readers such as Google Reader and Sage. Real Syndicate is a vendor neutral, open specification to be used by anyone needing to publish real estate information globally.

Introduction


Real Estate Syndicate (Real Syndicate) is an open activity and model to publish real estate information on the web. Using Atom, RSS and XML, Real Syndicate helps support users to push blog updates, news, property information, etc. to news aggregrators and client-side RSS readers.

Currently, Real Syndicate is the only active activity for this type of XML publishing in the real estate industry for consumers, professionals, or businesses.

Future updates to this activity will support embedded XML vocabularies by use of namespaces.
