Maybe you’ve heard some real estate jargon thrown around about something called the MLS and wondered what it is. I get asked all the time about what it stands for, and more importantly, what it does.

The MLS stands for Multiple Listing Service. Its an online platform that agents use to enter properties for sale and share details about a home or property. The biggest benefit of the MLS is that it’s the most accurate database for local housing information, and therefore is used by many active agents and brokers. And because it’s used by so many agents, about 92% of homes entered in the MLS are sold. Feeds from MLS is where Zillow and other online sites get their listings.

It’s been proven to be a useful tool for decades now, and it’s why we love using it so much. If you ever need any help with getting your home listed, I’ll be happy to help you out.
