MLS FAQ


What is the MLS?


The Multiple Listing Service (MLS) is a local database that advertises residential or commercial properties for sale to licensed realty representatives.

Once listed on your regional MLS, your residential or commercial property may feed (depending on location) to numerous nationwide realty sites, such as Realtor.com, Zillow, Trulia, Yahoo and more. The direct exposure you get on the MLS is tremendous! (Thousands of realty representatives through your local MLS and millions of potential purchasers through the internet.)
