Leveraging the Relitix integration to import and update your agents with MLS data and AI predictive analytics
Do you want to keep your Recruiting and Retention databases up to date with your contacts' basic information, production history, and more but don't want to export from your provider and import into Brokerkit manually? Now you can!
Getting an API key
- If you are a Relitix customer, you can utilize our Relitix Integration to have your MLS data automatically imported and updated in Brokerkit.
- If you want to sign up with Relitix, fill out the contact form here and tell them that Brokerkit sent you!
- Once you're set up in Relitix, please follow the steps below to configure the integration from within Brokerkit.
Please Note on MLS import query limits:
- Each Brokerkit pricing plan has a maximum number of search queries available. To understand those limits, please take a look at our pricing page here.
- Each import query can import up to 10k records at a time. If you create a query with more than 10k results and run it again later to update the data, you may not get the same 10k records as they may not come in the same order.
How to connect in Brokerkit
When you are logged in to Brokerkit and looking at the Today view, you'll want to navigate to your Data Page:
Next, you'll want to select the MLS Settings tab and be sure you have a Primary MLS selected
Once you have your MLS selected, select the Settings button.
On this page, you'll be able to select your MLS provider and enter the associated API Key.
If desired, select this box: "When selected, the MLS Preferred Phone number will be added to the Cell Phone Field if there is no cell phone number available via the Relitix integration. Note that it is not possible to determine the phone type from the MLS Preferred Phone attribute so it is possible this is not a mobile phone"
Next, you'll switch to the MLS Import tab and click the "Add Import Query" button:
When building your new import query, you'll provide the following information first:
- Name for your import query
- The MLS you want to pull the data from
📝 Note: this dropdown will populate based on the MLS(s) you selected under the MLS Settings tab.
Once that information is set, you can choose if this data pull will go into your Recruiting or Retention database using the provided dropdown menu. Regardless of which side of the Brokerkit account you are importing the data in, be sure to apply a relevant label to help you find your imported data easier.
For Recruiting:
- You will have a variety of options under "Field," which will serve as the import parameters from your MLS Provider:

You will set the following:

- Operator as "is"
- The value is your MLS office ID, with multiple office IDs split across multiple conditions. It will import them all.
Click "Save Search" once your import query is built.
Once your query is saved, you can see how many import query results will be generated!
📝 Note: If you feel that the Query Result Count you receive is off from what it should be, don't hesitate to contact us at support@getbrokerkit.com with questions.
Running your data imports
Once you've saved your import query, your saved search will appear under the MLS Import tab. From here, you can:
Manually Trigger your query import
This will trigger a one-time API call and allow your data to be automatically updated.
Schedule a Monthly update for your import query.
This will schedule your data set to automatically re-trigger on the 13th of each month.
Edit your import query.
Delete your import query.
After a successful query search, here is what a contact profile will look like:
Notification of a successful import
When building the new import query, the option to have an email sent upon a successful import to all Admin/Staff users on the account will be auto-selected as seen below:
Any user on the account can opt out of these emails under their user settings by deselecting the box marked "MLS Import notification emails."
Note: If a user clicks "unsubscribe" upon receiving an MLS Import notification email, that link will reroute them to the page above to deselect the checkbox, but it will not unsubscribe them from all future Brokerkit communications.
