The Multi-List: Why is it important?

What is the Multiple Listing Service (MLS)?

The Multiple Listing Service (MLS) is a database of homes currently for sale, and is only available to MLS real estate members.It is the primary tool used by Realtors to find homes for their buyers, and for most Realtors and buyers, it is the only tool they need to find the right home. Realtors search the MLS daily to find potential matches for their buyers, and when new listings are entered, Realtors can quickly evaluate them for their buyers. This process provides immediate access of information for your home to thousands of Realtors and buyers.

The MLS provides the biggest marketing advantage in selling your house. This kind of exposure to buyers is not available anywhere else. You maximize your chances of selling your property more quickly and at a better price when it is listed in the MLS. When your property is in the MLS, it receives the broad coverage of a large number of realty offices that have access via computer to your home's availability, price and features.
