multiple listing services (MLS)

A Multiple Listing Service (MLS) is a centralized online database used by real estate agents and brokers to share information about properties available for sale. It streamlines the process by allowing agents to access comprehensive and up-to-date details on listings, including prices, features, and photos. This collaboration helps sellers reach a wider audience and assists buyers in finding suitable homes efficiently. The MLS promotes transparency and cooperation among real estate professionals, making the buying and selling process more efficient and effective for all parties involved.
