Also keep in mind that listing properties on the website can be a huge can of worms. A friend wanted to me to do that and I couldn't without the risk of getting him fired and/or sued and getting myself sued. I think someone else got sued due to my inquiry.
In this area, property listing data is owned by the MLS. They control what websites it goes on. As part of a broker's access to the MLS, they agree not to post the data anywhere outside of the MLS. Your friend has to abide by the broker's agreement.
I'll suggest she read the terms of their agreement with MLS. Good advice.
