What is a Multiple Listing Service (MLS)? |
| |
| A: |
|
|
The Multiple Listing Service (MLS) is a service real estate agents join which maintains listings of all the homes for sale in the agent’s area (usually a county). Nationwide, there are over 800 of these services. When working with a home buyer, an agent will first check their MLS for homes for sale in the buyer’s price range. Therefore, it is the first place a home seller should advertise their home. Of course, only licensed agents who are members of that particular MLS can advertise homes on that MLS. |
