The Multiple Listing Service (MLS) is a local database that advertises properties for sale to licensed real estate agents. Each area has a distinct MLS that is utilized by local real estate agents and is only accessible to these agents. Once listed on your local MLS, your property may feed (depending on area) to several national real estate websites, such as Realtor.com. The exposure you receive on the MLS is tremendous! (Thousands of real estate agents through your local MLS and millions of potential buyers through the internet.)  Home sellers were previously unable to present their home in an MLS Listing unless they paid 6-7% of the home’s selling price to a Realtor. Today, home sellers, including “for sale by owner” sellers, have access to the Realtors Multiple Listing Service through our network.  Our flat fee Multiple Listing Program enables your home to be listed in the MLS  with access by nearly all Realtors who represent potential buyers looking to buy a home in your neighborhood.

86% of buyers use a Realtor to find a home, including the best kind of real estate buyer, the out-of-town corporate relocation home buyer (National Association of Realtors study). Many real estate agents use the MLS as their only tool for finding a home for their buyers, checking the MLS for new listings many times per day. As a result, an MLS Listing finds a home buyer 3 times more often than any other home selling tool.

What is the MLS?

The term MLS stands for “Multiple Listing Service” and is a database of properties currently on the market in the area. It’s only available to Realtors and not to the public. The MLS allows participating Realtors (which includes virtually all Realtors in the area) to list their homes for sale and agree to share in the sales commission of the properties.

The MLS feeds data to many sources including Realtor.com, most broker and agent websites, and many large franchise sites like remax.com. The exposure your FSBO home will get with our service will increase your chances of finding a buyer faster. And remember, the faster the better. Buyers are less likely to make a low offer on a newly listed home that’s price right for the current market!

This also means that if I list your property on the MLS with our Flat Fee service, and an agent finds a buyer for your house, that buyer’s broker is entitled to a commission at closing. With our MLS Flat Fee program, you set the selling commission up front, so the buyer’s agent always knows how much they are earning to sell your home.

It’s important to note that the MLS is not the same as Realtor.com. The MLS is what Realtors use to list homes and can only be accessed by licensed Realtors, while Realtor.com is the public website used by consumers to search for homes.

The big advantage to you, as the seller, is that every single broker and agent participating in the MLS has an incentive to sell your home. This effectively puts every agent in the area to work selling your home! The first place a buyers agent looks is always the MLS. There is simply no better way to gain instant and widespread exposure for your home than listing it on the MLS.
