Realtor.com Syndication

would be nice to have it so we can repost listing to realtor.com through tourbuzz for when the listing changes mls#'s or if listing has more than 2 mls#'s, as now once it posts you can't use tourbuzz again to syndicate, have to go to picture path, not urgent but would be a time saver.
