The bigger challenge is not the ftp integration per say. The fact that all the housing data is distributed across nearly 500 MLS sites that closely guard their data and make it available only to licensed realtors. I would expect each of these MLS sites to have different formats. So trying to strike up a conversation and allowing them to let me use their FTP site is the biggest hurdle. Zillow and the rest of the big guys already have their claws deep into the MLS sites and they probably want to closely guard their pipelines. Small guys like me don’t know where to start.
