Proxies for Realtor.com

Brokerages and investors use Realtor.com to follow listing status and price changes in their markets, and to see how their own listings present to buyers. Realtor.com is a US site built on MLS listing data, and brokers have a licensed route to that data. Here is when proxies help and when they are the wrong tool.

What is different about Realtor.com

How Realtor.com localises, limits and checks traffic, and what that means for your setup.

Data comes from MLSs

Realtor.com builds its listings from MLS feeds, so status and price usually follow the MLS. If a listing looks wrong, the fix is normally in the MLS entry, not on Realtor.com.

Brokers have IDX feeds

Agents and brokers can get licensed listing data through their MLS's IDX or other data feeds. For anything beyond a small watchlist, that is the right source.

US only

Realtor.com is for US property. Canada's realtor.ca is a separate site run by a different organisation, so treat it separately.

Gentle pacing

Listing pages are heavy and the site watches for automated traffic. A short daily watchlist works; broad sweeps of whole metros don't.

Which proxy fits Realtor.com?

Our recommendation for Realtor.com, and when the second option is the better choice.

Static ISP Proxies

Best fit

Realtor.com covers US property, so a static US ISP IP fits. Brokerages checking their own listings and a fixed list of competing homes every day look like one steady office visitor, and unlimited bandwidth absorbs photo-heavy pages.

starting from$0.75/IP

Dedicated static IPs registered to US and Canadian ISPs. The address stays the same for as long as you hold it, with unlimited bandwidth and HTTP(S) or SOCKS5 access.

Rotating Residential Proxies

Also works

For occasional checks of how search results look to buyers in a particular state or city, use rotating residential proxies with state and city targeting.

starting from$0.63/GB

Residential IPs in 190+ countries with country, state and city targeting. Rotate on every request or hold a sticky session for up to 90 minutes; GB never expire.

Best practices to avoid blocks on Realtor.com

Respect Realtor.com's terms and the law

Realtor.com's terms restrict automated access, and its listing data comes from MLSs under licence. Use proxies only for low-volume monitoring of public listings, and get listing data for websites or products through your MLS's licensed feeds. CleanProxies customers must follow our Terms of Service and the laws that apply to them; this page is general guidance, not legal advice.

Realtor.com checklist
  • Keep the watchlist focused on your market and your own listings.
  • Record price and status; leave agent contact details and owner names out.
  • Don't republish photos, remarks or listing descriptions.
  • Pause and retry later when a page returns a challenge.
  • Use your MLS feed for anything you plan to display publicly.
