The MLS stands for “Multiple Listing Service” and is the official Realtor’s database of all the homes that are currently on the market.

This is where all the local buyers agents go to find homes for sale for their buyers and 90% of buyers are working with a buyers agent to find a home.

If your home is not listed in the MLS you are missing out on the largest pool of buyers, which could seriously hinder the sale of your home AND prevent you from getting the most amount of money possible.

Please Note: As a home seller, you do not have access to the MLS directly, unless you either list your home with a real estate agent for a high listing commission or you can get access by purchasing one of our listing plans for a low flat fee.
