​Does Xara charge me to input my MLS?

Agents have to pay the usual fees to the MLS provider to access MLS information. MLS Connect is a plug in available to Xara Scale subscribers that enables data transfer from the MLS direct to Xara templates.

Is the information and data transfer safe?
The information and data transferred is fully compliant, and Xara doesn't store any of the MLS data, nor does it create a service out of it. The feature is compliant with MLS and real estate marketing guidelines.
