What Is The Multiple Listing Service (MLS)?

The MLS (Multiple Listing Service) is a real estate agent database where properties for sale are listed. The MLS provides the ability to feed listings to all the major websites, including Zillow, Redfin, Realtor.com, Homes.com, and many more. This is important, since home buyers all prefer different websites to search for homes. 

Do I need to be a real estate agent to list my home on the MLS?

Yes, you must be a licensed real estate agent to list a property on the MLS. homecoin.com provides the ability for you to list your home on the MLS for $95. We can do this because we are a licensed broker.

Is there more than one MLS?

Yes, there are hundreds of MLS systems in the United States. Each MLS has its own rules, database, and real estate association members. You nearly always want to list your property on the MLS that covers your local area.

One of the primary purposes of the MLS is that it is where real estate agents search for searching properties for their buyers. Local agents will be able to reach out to you directly with showing requests, questions and about any offers of compensation. You can find your local MLS here: https://homecoin.com/mls
