What it looks like
"The Voice of Texas Real Estate", with member benefit tiles. Fed from the association's course and event systems, so staff don't retype the month. Education and courses fed from the association's education system. Research pages are public; the forms library sits behind the members' login. Legal answers, marketing tools, discounts and advocacy on one benefits page. Award winners sit alongside advocacy and local association sections.
The hard part
NAR’s member data is a bulk extract, not an API - quoted pipe-delimited files with embedded pipes and newlines inside the quoted values, which breaks any naive parser. It needed a quote-aware parser built from scratch.
The data itself has real-world irregularities: a small number of records carry malformed dates that have to be detected and discarded rather than imported as nonsense. And the documented completion status code for an extract job isn’t the one the service actually returns - something you only discover by watching a run finish.
The result is a full import in under fifteen minutes, and an incremental re-run in about a minute because unchanged records are skipped.
Our new site on TaliCMS has handled the scale of a state association without missing a beat. Dazlab worked closely with our team through the build and launch, and the result is a site that's faster and much easier for our staff to keep current.
