A method and apparatus for acquiring property data from numerous property information sources and assembling the data in a standard format. For each source there is at least one custom dynamic interface for retrieving and standardizing the property data. A custom dynamic interface is capable of dynamically reacting to changes made in the sources of property information by parsing data and selecting only information relevant to a data request. The method and apparatus may receive multiple requests for property data from individual users and automated systems, and respond to the requests in real time or store standardized records for later delivery. The apparatus includes a server interfacing with the sources and requesters via a network, and memory containing multiple custom dynamic interfaces, and all software modules required to receive and prioritize requests, determine sources appropriate for the requests, access the sources using authentication, and retrieve, format, and store the requested data.
