MLS FAQ
What is the MLS?
The Multiple Listing Service (MLS) is a local database that advertises residential or commercial properties for sale to certified real estate representatives. Each area has an unique MLS that is made use of by regional realty representatives and is only available to these agents. Once listed on your local MLS, your residential or commercial property might feed (depending on location) to several nationwide genuine estate websites, such as Realtor.com, Zillow, Trulia, Yahoo and more. The direct exposure you get on the MLS is tremendous! (Countless realty agents through your local MLS and millions of prospective purchasers through the web.)
How does the MLS package work?
Once you sign-up for the MLS Package, the listing broker for your area will email you the extra documents needed by the MLS. Once the types have been submitted back to the listing broker, the residential or commercial property is listed and designated a MLS number.
