About North Texas Real Estate Info Systems
North Texas Real Estate Information Systems (NTREIS) is the MLS engine of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, one of the largest and fastest-moving housing markets in the country. An NTREIS IDX feed is the only way to put that inventory, from Frisco new builds to Fort Worth bungalows, on an agent website with data straight from the listing brokers.
NTREIS at a glance:
- Board of directors approved its first rules and regulations in 1998, with ntreis.net launching in 2003
- Serves 15 REALTOR associations across North Texas, including the Collin County and Greater Denton/Wise County boards alongside the Dallas and Fort Worth associations
- Covers a service area exceeding 48,000 square miles, from the Red River toward Abilene and east toward the Louisiana line
- Runs on the Matrix platform, with vendor data access routed through RESO Web API channels
- Calls the RESO Web API the modern way to transport real estate data, and its feeds follow that standard
Scale is the story here. NTREIS is consistently ranked among the largest MLSs in the nation, and its footprint covers small-town Texas as thoroughly as it covers the metroplex.
Coverage area
NTREIS serves agents and brokers across:
- Texas - North Texas, anchored by the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex
Territory agents will recognize:
- Dallas County: Dallas proper, Highland Park, Garland, Irving, and Mesquite
- Tarrant County: Fort Worth, Arlington, Keller, and Southlake
- Collin County: Plano, Frisco, McKinney, and Allen, the metroplex's growth engine
- Denton County: Denton, Flower Mound, and Lewisville
- The ring counties: Rockwall, Ellis (Waxahachie), Johnson, Kaufman, Parker (Weatherford), Hunt, and Wise
- Outlying North Texas: Sherman and Denison on the Red River, Granbury, and markets reaching toward Abilene
Houston, Austin, and San Antonio each run separate systems, so listings there never touch an NTREIS feed. If your market orbits DFW, though, this is the data source that matters.
How to get North Texas Real Estate Info Systems listings on your website
NTREIS handles data access through formal licensing, and it reviews requests deliberately, so start the paperwork before you need the feed:
- Be an NTREIS subscriber through a member association. Your board membership carries your MLS access and your IDX eligibility.
- Sign the IDX license agreement. NTREIS issues credentials only after the agreement is signed, and the broker of record signs as well.
- Let your vendor request the feed. Approved vendors pull NTREIS data through its RESO Web API channels. New vendors go through NTREIS's own review before credentials are issued.
- Launch search on your site. Your provider handles field mapping, display rules, and compliance, then turns on search, listing pages, and alerts.
NTREIS review can take longer than the e-signature MLSs, sometimes a couple of weeks for new vendor arrangements. Established vendors with existing NTREIS credentials skip most of that wait, which is a real argument for going with a provider already live on the system.
CloseDaily and North Texas Real Estate Info Systems
CloseDaily connects to NTREIS through a standard IDX feed. DFW listings power map search, listing pages, and saved-search alerts on your site, while the built-in CRM tracks visitors, captures leads, and runs follow-up sequences you never get around to sending manually.
DFW attracts corporate relocations by the thousands, and those buyers start with a search bar, not a referral. Showing up with fast, complete NTREIS search is table stakes for winning them before the portals do.
CloseDaily plans start at $299 per month with a 7-day free trial, and a credit card is required. Setup runs through onboarding, typically a few business days once your NTREIS credentials clear.

Frequently asked questions
Does CloseDaily support North Texas Real Estate Info Systems IDX?
Yes. CloseDaily supports IDX integration for North Texas Real Estate Info Systems across the full DFW metroplex and outlying North Texas markets. We provision the feed during onboarding once your IDX license is in place.
How do I add North Texas Real Estate Info Systems home search to my website?
Sign the NTREIS IDX agreement with your broker of record, then have your IDX provider request data access. Once NTREIS issues credentials, the provider builds and launches search on your domain. With CloseDaily that build happens inside onboarding.
What areas does North Texas Real Estate Info Systems cover?
NTREIS covers the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex and most of North Texas: Dallas, Tarrant, Collin, and Denton counties, the surrounding ring counties, and outlying markets from the Red River toward Abilene. Houston, Austin, and San Antonio use separate MLSs.
How long does North Texas Real Estate Info Systems IDX setup take?
Plan around the NTREIS licensing review, which can run longer than at e-signature MLSs, especially for vendors new to the system. CloseDaily's own setup wraps within a few business days once credentials are granted.
What platform does NTREIS run on?
NTREIS subscribers work in Matrix, and vendor data flows through RESO Web API channels. For your website that detail is invisible, but it means the feed follows the industry's current data standard.
Does NTREIS cover all of Texas?
No. NTREIS is North Texas: DFW and the counties around it. Houston runs on HAR, Austin on Unlock MLS, and other regions on their own boards, several of which we cover on separate pages.
