MLS FAQ


What is the MLS?


The Multiple Listing Service (MLS) is a regional database that markets residential or commercial properties for sale to certified realty agents. Each area has a distinct MLS that is made use of by regional realty representatives and is just accessible to these representatives. Once noted on your regional MLS, your residential or commercial property may feed (depending upon area) to numerous national realty sites, such as Realtor.com, Zillow, Trulia, Yahoo and more. The direct exposure you receive on the MLS is tremendous! (Countless property representatives through your regional MLS and countless prospective purchasers through the internet.)


How does the MLS plan work?


Once you sign-up for the MLS Package, the listing broker for your location will email you the extra documents needed by the MLS. Once the types have actually been submitted back to the listing broker, the residential or commercial property is listed and designated a MLS number. The listing broker will list your residential or commercial property on your regional MLS for six months and at that point the service is provided and there are no refunds. Once noted in the MLS, you will be responsible for showings, extra marketing, open homes, negotiations, etc. Please click your state on the map for full details in your area.
