Using RETS Connector you create customized searches and sets of related searches, called “tasks,” which can be modified quickly and easily at any time. A built-in scheduler lets you run your tasks automatically at predetermined times. RETS Connector can be used with any compliant RETS 1.5, 1.72, or 1.8 server, and can alert you when the metadata changes so that your searches always remain accurate.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p
