Instantly add real estate listing data to your website. This WordPress plugin will allow your listings, from multiple feeds, to appear within your site as native content, treated just like other content on your website. All of this is done through an integration with GetRETS® from timitek, llc.
From Within WordPress
- From the WordPress administration dashboard, select Plugins - Add New.
- Search for GetRETS.

directory of your WordPress installation.
Setup
Note - Ensure the Plugin has been activated in the WordPress administration dashboard before continuing.
Access the
GetRETS settings from the WordPress administrators dashboard.
From the WordPress administration dashboard, select
Settings -
GetRETS.
There are two settings for you to configure.
Customer Key: The customer key is the unique key assigned to you from
www.timitek.com.
Cache Settings: By default, GetRETS will pre-fetch and cache all of your listings from the MLS systems. It will maintain this cache for you automatically and allow you to fetch your listing details even if your MLS system is offline. It is not recommended that you disable this, however, you can optionally disable the cache and have all of your listings fetched directly from the MLS system on each request. Some MLS systems do not allow this sort of traffic, and you must be sure this is what you want to do before checking this box.
Show Thumbnail: Some WordPress templates will show a featured image tied to a post. When a template with this feature enabled is used, having GetRETS also display a thumbnail, might be a bit redundant. By unchecking this box GetRETS will not present a thumbnail associated with the listing on the search results.
