RETSPRO

New Changes Coming!

First off we'd like to welcome Mike back to RP!  

Next - We're going to be slowly re-structuring RP into a lighter faster version of itself as we'll be removing anything out other than the code required to retrieve and display data.   All other CRM/Lead Router type features will be available via connecting our New API to any 3rd party CRM/Marketing solution you want to use.

We've already begun working with adding in a new reso-api connector as well as updating to all of the latest libraries and php8x.

Be sure to join our New Affiliate Program!

After a long hiatus, (working on another code project) we're finally getting back to this plugin for our planned updates.

What's coming first - as in right away before anything major.

#1 - Latest php8x compatibility. 
#2 - Updating all 3rd party libraries to newest versions for, js, css, etc.

After this is one we will be rolling out the rest of previously planned upgrades.
#1 - New core templates.
#2 - New rets api integrations.
#3 - New API for connecting to our other New Back Office CRM software first  - then including the API documentation to be able to connect this to any 3rd party solutions you want to develop on.

All of the above is primarily for existing clients - after we complete the list then - That's it - We're Done! ...other than maintenance.

Nothing else is planned or scheduled for this project due to the over-all-decline of DIY clients "capable" of setting up and managing everything needed to run their own RE website. 

When we originally launched this project, way back in 2008, it was for our own "in-house" SEO Company. We needed to provide our RE customers an SEO edge over their competition - We spent so much time/$ developing the plugin that we decided to modify it to include an UI for other web developers to be able to also use what we had created -

Since then, and years later, others tried to build something to compete against us like Realtyna, Estatik - Now they're both struggling to remain viable. 

In fact, this has become such a micro-niche market, that we've already gone on to build out another "SaaS" solution that's hopefully going to be the Next #1 Disrupter to all of the other Real Estate Tech Silos out there.

More coming soon - 

Yes - we're back into the development here again :)

Our Patch release delayed another week to do more updates needed as we are pushing for PHP 8.1 compatibility atm.
As to the RETS PRO website "relaunch" - that's nearly ready to push out as we're almost done with the matching seo url/path fixes via htaccess so its happening "sometime" this month.
As to everything else -> Major Money Being Spent On Programming!
Currently Beta Testing our BrokerSumo clone as well as beginning our testing with API's now to connect it with - QuickBooks, Dotloop, Skyslope, DocuSign and Dropbox. Officially in the middle of Forking (3) different GNU - GPL  Solutions (more on this soon).  Forking (2) very large solutions right now with over (7) fulltime developers/programmers working on code projects over the next few months. More updates/announcements - coming soon!

 

The New RP plugin 4.1.7

First we'll be addressing the latest updates needed for the New /listing-details/ template coming with this version. 

Next we've added a "New Agent Import" option that allows any large company that has an excel data dump of their agents can now simply upload and match those fields and "done". Just tested this with a company agent list of over 1500 agents. Now they'll just email the agents the login path to our plugin with instructions to upload/edit their photos and any other personal changes that they'd like to make etc.
We also added a New default maps feature that now includes map Price-Pins i.e. $1.23ML. in short, not only can you still create custom map-pins to match anything/data you want, you can now use a custom "Price" type pin as well!.



Expect the v 4.1.7 release date to be mid June.


What's Next?
There are several releases planned for this year as we continue to -
Brand new maps module/template, complete with custom advance search form builder integration.
(New screenshots will be coming soon! - currently under alpha/beta testing.)
(Note* This New Maps Module will only be available in the downloads section when released.)
(ETA-?  Probably end of July) Completing more RETS API integrations (hopefully all of them now)
(ETA-?  Probably end of July) Updated & Supported "REST API" for easy push pull for nearly all 3rd party CRMs.
(This is where we will be continuing to push our reach in order to grow/expand with our customers as their own needs evolve.)
(ETA-?  Probably end of August) 2021 is already heating up - get your hands on a developers license asap before the price goes up again!

Cheers!

For those that have not checked in our KB (knowledge base), located in the RETS PRO customer client area, we have uploaded a playlist link for the How-To's needed for Auto SEO.  I have been personally testing it out and it's working pretty sweet and according to my google panel it says I have over 19k pages indexed!  Not only that, the actual listing pages being created are showing up on page 1 or 2 of all search engines for the address-match within 3 to 5 days.

Check out the videos and let us know here in this thread what you think!
Cheers

*Disclaimer:
*First of all we are HUGE fans of GNU/GPL and we do not recommend this as a way to circumvent other developers that need your financial support!
 
 
Most developers like to put their hands on as many plugins and themes as we can in order to try them out before we commit to spending money on them so this was a no brainer purchase decision for us and we are so glad we joined them as a paying member.
 
We decided to buy a annual license with GPLVAULT so that we would be able to test hundreds of GNU/GPL plugins and themes as well as other GPL software that may be needed for an upcoming projects where we needed something special like a gravity forms addon or some themeforest or codecanyon theme or plugin that might fit the bill.
 
Wow! is this even legal?
YES! - For several years we have included several GPL plugins and themes in our own download area - even had some disgruntled customer try to have our hosting provider take down our website for distributing commercially licensed plugins and themes that were in-fact ALL GNU/GPL and or Developer/Extended Licensed products - another idiot customer story for later.... but heck yes its LEGAL and LEGIT!
 
Remember though that if you DO find something that you plan on using over and over again in your own sites/projects then please consider buying the version from the developers so that you can help support them as well.

 
Go Check Them Out for yourself and see if you agree that is the BEST no-brainer purchase for the year!

Always better to call or to use skype = RETS PRO

hilarious thread topic ;)
 
I would say then that you'd probably want to have us hand off the site already completed, other than your own content and admin panel/UI related stuff.
Then your only ongoing responsibilities 
 
DIY requirements that fall back onto you.
New Content would be added to the site by you and you can use any of the included shortcode templates to do that and or modify them to create new ones. (videos) Anytime the RETS provider sends you an email about changes to old RETS fields or adding new fields or switching to a new/different RETS provider, then you would need to login and tweak as needed yourself via our videos/forums or hire us/someone to tweak as needed. Listing images are the same as the RETS data - they may need to be re-sourced - again with videos/forums etc. Both of the above can sometimes trigger hosting tweaks needed to the php.ini and or my.cnf and or TCP (ports). (most hosting co. accommodate or have how-to's) There are other things that can occur, but for the most part, you can typically go without any tech stuff needed more than once or twice over a 2-3+ year period.

I would highly recommend that you run at least 2 sites though (one can be a free.subdomain) so that you can always have a developers version of your live site that you keep in maintenance mode and not allowing it to get crawled/indexed (you don't want duplicate content SEO issues). Then with this second site is where you do all of your trash-testing and learning how to do all the above DIY stuff.
 
When you're ready for more info give us a call or via Skype = RETS PRO

Hope you're doing okay - I'll be sure to pass this along to anyone who calls us - and if you have anyone who needs confirmation about this being legit just have them call me - 
 
Cheers
