MLS and
Internet Sites
As you may know the MLS is
not the same thing as any public internet site such as Realtor.com.
The MLS, or Multiple Listing Service, is an extensive
database of homes for sale listed by Realtors® and is used only by
Realtors®. Your local MLS is made up of Realtor® members who agree to share their listings
with one another in the hopes of procuring ready, willing and able buyers for their
properties more quickly than they could on their own.
Most MLS's now share their listing information with the public. Paraphrased, condensed versions of MLS listings now appear on websites such as Realtor.com,
who get their information directly from the MLS system.
Additionally, licensed real estate agencies,
who belong to the local MLS system, can now choose to display these
paraphrased
MLS listings on their own company websites. The listings that you see on
these public websites
are shortened versions of actual MLS listings, and not the full version
that Realtors®
use, nevertheless they are heavily searched by the public.

Keep in mind that
most MLS's puts certain restrictions on the
information that Realtor.com and other public internet sites can show, such as owner contact
information, addresses of the property and other private
information. It is designed to show enough information to make
people want to know more about the property. This is how leads are
developed for Realtors®.
Any leads we receive from any public internet site is forwarded directly
to you via email.
It is also
important to note that the information you see on public internet sites is not updated instantaneously, as the
actual MLS system
is. It may take many days for the MLS to transfer information to the
public internet sites, but Realtors® can view it immediately.
Realtor.com
and other public internet sites are very
powerful tools
for any home seller. Buyers
from all over the world can view
your home for sale and even take a
virtual tour if you choose that option. You may add
your own digital photos using
another one of our options, and even control scrolling marquees and text
in Realtor.com with our
complete Realtor.com enhancement package.

sites such as Realtor.com AND local Realtors®
responding to the MLS listing.
