About REcolorado
REcolorado is Colorado's largest MLS and the system of record for the Denver metro market. REcolorado IDX is what puts that inventory on an agent's own website, whether the listing is a Wash Park bungalow or a new build in Parker. The organization has been at this longer than most: it started around 1984 as Metrolist, publishing printed books of active and sold listings before the web existed.
From printed books to Web API:
- Founded as Metrolist roughly four decades ago, distributing weekly and monthly listing books to Denver brokers
- Launched its consumer site, REcolorado.com, in 1999
- Rebranded from Metrolist to REcolorado in 2015, adopting the website name and ending years of confusion with Northern California's similarly named MetroList
- Grew into the largest MLS in Colorado, with members concentrated in the 12-county Denver metro area
- Retired its legacy RETS feeds and now delivers IDX data over RESO Web API channels, with its data program running through platforms such as Trestle and MLS Grid
The through line is technology adoption: the company that once printed listing books now runs one of the more modern data programs in the region.
Coverage area
REcolorado serves agents and brokers across:
- Colorado - statewide listings, with the deepest concentration in metro Denver
The metro core, county by county:
- Denver County: the city itself, from LoDo to Green Valley Ranch
- Arapahoe County: Aurora, Centennial, and Littleton
- Jefferson County: Lakewood, Arvada, and Golden
- Douglas and Elbert counties: Highlands Ranch, Castle Rock, Parker, and the ranch country east
- Adams and Broomfield counties: Thornton, Westminster, and Brighton
- Boulder County and the northern corridor, where listings also flow through the separate IRES system
Colorado Springs runs on its own MLS, and the Western Slope and mountain resorts have their own boards, several covered on separate pages here. For anything in the Denver commute shed, REcolorado is the feed that matters.
How to get REcolorado listings on your website
REcolorado runs a documented, agreement-based IDX program, and CloseDaily works it from the vendor seat:
- Hold REcolorado membership through your broker. IDX participation rides on your brokerage's standing with the MLS.
- Sign the IDX agreement. REcolorado reviews and countersigns, and its approval email is the green light before any site can activate IDX.
- CloseDaily connects over the Web API. REcolorado moved IDX delivery fully to RESO Web API channels, and we pull from those platforms on existing accounts.
- Search goes live under your brand. CloseDaily flips on search, listing pages, and alerts once the countersigned agreement clears.
The countersignature step is REcolorado's quality gate, and it is predictable when the paperwork arrives complete. That completeness is our job, not yours.
CloseDaily and REcolorado
CloseDaily supports IDX integration for REcolorado. Your site runs Denver-metro search on REcolorado data while the built-in CRM captures inquiries, tracks favorites, and keeps follow-up moving.
Denver buyers tour fast and decide faster, often with a relocation clock ticking. A site that alerts your buyers the hour a Stapleton listing drops is the difference between showing it Saturday and reading about it under contract.
The platform starts at $299 per month, and trying it first takes a 7-day free trial with a credit card. Onboarding covers the REcolorado feed work, typically a few business days after the agreement is countersigned.

How do I add REcolorado home search to my website?
Sign REcolorado's IDX agreement through your brokerage and wait for the countersigned approval. CloseDaily manages the data connection, compliance, and launch from there.
What areas does REcolorado cover?
REcolorado carries listings from across Colorado, with its core in the 12-county Denver metro: Denver, Arapahoe, Jefferson, Adams, Douglas, Broomfield, and Elbert counties among them. Colorado Springs and the Western Slope run separate systems.
How long does REcolorado IDX setup take?
REcolorado's review and countersignature set the timeline, and complete paperwork keeps it short. CloseDaily's feed work finishes during onboarding, usually a few business days after approval.
Is REcolorado the same as Metrolist?
Yes. Metrolist rebranded as REcolorado in 2015, taking the name of its consumer website. Old Metrolist references in your files point to the same organization and the same data.
Does REcolorado cover Boulder?
Boulder sits in overlap territory: REcolorado carries Boulder-area listings, and the separate IRES system serves northern Colorado as its home market. Agents working Boulder and the northern corridor often watch both, and we cover IRES on its own page.
