Hello a group I work with recently made a website on WordPress to advertise property listings. Our problem is trying to keep it up to-date with other sites we have are listings on. We are currently using Sharp launch to try and link our website with an external data base but aren’t pleased with the results. I would just like to know if it is possible to make the database on our own site work in a similar fashion by updating other websites with our own. If I know its possible I can probably figure it out I just don’t want to waste a bunch of time. Thanks in advance.

Using an API would be a better (and modern) way to go, but if they don’t have one, you’re out of luck.
You can get someone to write an Updater program for you that is triggered by a cronjob.
Most property management systems either have an API or can output an XML file. You then use a plugin like WP All Import to consume the API/XML and pull that data into your property post type. There are numerous property plugins as well e.g. easy property listings.
