What is the Multiple Listing Service (“MLS”)?
It is basically a database for Realtors to share listings with other Realtors to obtain a MAXIMUM EXPOSURE and increase the chance of a resulting sale for any particular property. Only licensed brokerages and agents who belong to the local boards and the National Association of Realtors are allowed to enter listings into the MLS. The MLS is the primary tool for Realtors to locate the right properties for their buyers.
