Basically the MLS System is a place where a Real Estate Broker inputs your home information so that other Realtors and the general public can find. All Realtors use the MLS to search for properties for their clients....
The general public can also search for properties on the MLS System and can call or email the Real Estate Broker for more information. Placing your home on the MLS is the #1 step when selling your home...Even while doing it FSBO (For Sale By Owner). This is included in all of our Flat fee MLS Plans besides the basic plan.
More detailed information that is not so exciting...The Multiple Listing Service (MLS, Multiple Listing System, or Multiple Listings Service) enables Real Estate Brokers to establish contractual offers of compensation, facilitates cooperation with other broker participants, accumulates and disseminates information to enable appraisals, and is a facility for the orderly dissemination of listing information to better serve the Real Estate Broker's clients, customers and the general public. A multiple listing service's database and software is used by Real Estate Brokers in real estate to represent home sellers under a listing contract and to widely share information about properties with other brokers who may represent potential buyers or wish to cooperate with a seller's broker in finding a buyer for the property.
