Since the MLS is the ultimate source for listing data, your pool of homes will give you the best opportunity to find the right home. Choosing a REALTOR® with access to the MLS could determine your visibility on all listings.

The right comps for the right price

Don’t be deceived… not all internet-based home value estimators are reliable or accurate. REALTORS® use the MLS to compile previously sold comps within the MLS that give you the best home range worth.

Unique custom searches

If you want a home with a pool, a red door, and a white fence next to a specific school in mind, the MLS has you covered! Searching for the right home can be frustrating, and that’s why REALTORS® use the MLS to create advanced custom home searches.

Benefits of the MLS for Home Sellers

Maximize your return

You’re going to want the most money when selling your home. REALTORS® know that you mean business when a house is listed in the MLS and not for sale by owner. Studies prove that when your house is sold when on the MLS, you get more money.

Syndication to the world

The MLS also syndicates listing data to home search sites. This benefit can help with exposure. REALTORS® and their Brokers can turn this feature on and off. When working with a REALTOR®, you can ask if your listing will be syndicated.

Multiple offers to choose from

Let’s face it. Not all offers are the same. Some have contingencies, and some may be cash buyers. Using the MLS can get you multiple offers. The exposure is tremendous compared to placing a for-sale sign in your yard and trying to sell it on your own.

Robust listing fields

REALTORS® can choose from the most advanced field types to describe your property. In return, REALTORS® representing buyers can be extremely specific for their clients when creating home searches.

Keeping your privacy private

The public can access some data on the MLS, but private information like whether or not the home is vacant, times of day available for walk-throughs, and entry information are kept confidential, only accessible by REALTORS®.
