Property feeds guide
In short, property feeds are like spreadsheet files but instead of containing financial or customer information, they contain a list of your properties along with various related details for each such as price, number of beds, address, attachments, summary and links to relevant photos. Being a text file, they can be easily transmitted or shared between parties, understood by different applications and opened on most computers. Feeds are usually transferred between sites under an automated process although with small files containing only a few items, sometimes people choose to email them.
