Budd Realty was using a template-based, hosted service for their website and wanted to develop their own identity for the Web. Their old site provided local real estate listings via MLS so the new site needed to provide that functionality as well.

To meet this need pilotLight developed a custom application to pull listings from Trend MLS via the RETS protocol. This script runs on a daily basis (it's a custom Django management command) and retrieves listing information and images for properties within Budd Realty's service area. These listings are stored in a local database to allow for efficient sorting and filtering.

In addition to real estate listings content management tools were developed to allow for structured display of agent information, open house calendar management, and banner advertisements.
