What is MLS (Multiple Listing Service)?
The MLS is a regional database real estate professionals use to share listings, details, and cooperation between brokerages. Listing a home on the MLS exposes it to the widest pool of agents and buyers and feeds public sites. Access is generally limited to licensed members.
Example: When a seller lists with an agent, the home is entered into the MLS, where it instantly reaches other agents and populates public search sites.
