Do real estate listings use rss feeds?

Looking to approach Real Estate folks but don't know if those
guys use RSS feeds or anything that is auto-updated and uses
HTML or something simple.

Thanks!

It really depends on the system they are using.

You will find real estate websites use a whole bunch of different CMS systems to manage their content. There's no one size fits all. Some of them may have feeds but they are not necessarily RSS feeds.

If you want to really attack the real estate market then I suggest you offer them a real solution like this:

Agentpoint The Wordpress Real Estate Web Developers » Mobile Phone Websites

They integrate with most regular CMS systems. It makes life a lot easier for the agents. This isn't some crappy little mobile site it's a full blown mobile solution and you could easily charge a lot of money for something like that.

If you started setting up people with solutions like that you would probably quite quickly get known as the go to guy for real estate agent mobile sites.

I would NEVER just try and sell a real estate agent a basic mobile site. By doing so I think you are doing them a massive injustice.

Very groovy. I'm not a huge fan of the UI of the forum but I am grateful for it.

It's just a vBulletin forum on the backend which is probably the most popular forum software these days.

Whether you do anything for real estate with RSS, it's still really nice to have a slave out there gathering news about topics you're interested in. It can be personal or business, cooking or real estate. You'll be able to have specific topic news in your reader as it's happening. All you have to do is, when you find a site or blog with interesting content, subscribe to their feed.
