Скачать или смотреть What Is the Multiple Listing Service (MLS)?

The MLS is an exclusive listing service that's available only to licensed Realtors. The MLS is important because 97% of all US home sales were listed on the MLS. An Important point to consider is that over 80% of the homes listed for sale on Zillow, Realtor. Com, Trulia and 100s of others were imported from listings entered Into the MLS system.

Zillow, Realtor. Com, Trulia and 100s of others are simply Buyer marketing sites, Licensed Realtors almost never use the MARKETING sites to search for homes, the MLS system is much more powerful.
Agents with Qualified Buyers, set up custom, automated searches using the MLS that automatically alert their clients with lists of homes which align with the buyer clients ideal home search criteria.

Agents almost never use Zillow or other marketing sites. The MLS systems provide many more tools to aid in custom buyer searches and buyer showing scheduling. A number of people we talk to believe sites like Realtor.com are the MLS, in fact they are not, they are just marketing sites which receive listings entered in the MLS. If you are open to working with Buyer Agents who bring you Qualified Buyers, then being on the MLS is a must.
