What Is the Multiple Listing Service?

Whether you’re a buyer or a seller, if you’re currently involved in the real estate market, you’re probably going to encounter the Multiple Listing Service (MLS). At its core, the MLS is an enormous database of different home listings — but there’s much more to it than just that. In fact, it isn’t even a singular database. The MLS is actually a collection of nearly 600 regional databases. Some real estate agents are members of more than one MLS if they’re looking to broaden their reach. Every regional MLS has unique listings, and agents will need to pay fees to post there. To learn more about the Multiple Listing Service, contact us today.
