The Multiple Listing Service
(MLS) is database of homes for sale used by Realtors.
When a Realtor takes a new
listing they place the home on the local MLS website for all other
Realtors to see. Most Realtors use the MLS website to obtain
information on what homes are for sale in their area, and what
commission the owner is willing to pay if a Realtor brings an
acceptable offer. Once mlsAssist places your home in your
local Realtors' MLS website, all Realtors will be alerted to the
availability of your home. All the details you provided about
your home will be displayed to the Realtors. This will enable
the Realtors to match your home with their clients, and make
arrangements to show your home. There are thousands of
Realtors, and each one has several clients which may be waiting to
see your home.
Most Realtors show homes in the MLS rather than showing unlisted
homes because they know their commission is certain if they present
an acceptable offer, and all the details about the home are
disclosed in the website. That's why most homes are sold
through the Multiple Listing Service, and according to the National
Assoc of Realtors, they sell faster and for more money than
comparable unlisted houses.
In
addition, after your home is listed in the MLS, your home will also
be placed on public websites such as Realtor.com, Homes.com, and
other real estate broker's websites who link the MLS to their
website such as Century 21 and Coldwell Banker. The exposure
you receive in the MLS is tremendous! Thousands of real estate
agents through your local MLS, and millions of potential buyers
through Realtor.com and other public websites will see your home.
