Types of DDF Data Feed (*)

DDF has 3 different types to choose from, based on what your brokerage company has signed up for. The 3 different Data Types of DDF are:

National Shared Pool

National Shared Pool gives you access to all listings that are contributed to DDF, across Canada. This includes all residential, and commercial listings, from all real estate boards, in all provinces. If you choose this feed, after your choice, in Step 5, you will be able to filter it to the part of the data you’d like to have on your website.

Member Website Feed – My Listings

Member Website Feed – My Listings gives you access to your listings only. This can be a good option if you’d like to have your listings on your website, without any other tabs for listings that don’t belong to you.

Member Website Feed – One or More Offices

Member Website Feed – One or More Offices is best for Brokerage Owners who would like to have all listings of their office(s) listed on a particular website.
