The Multiple Listing Service, or MLS, is an assortment of private databases developed and maintained by local real estate professionals that make it easier for professionals to advertise their listings to cooperative brokers. When a property is listed in a regional MLS it is assigned a number, in chronological order of the list. It is possible for two individual listings, listed in two different MLS databases, to share the exact same MLS number. After being assigned an MLS number, the active list is included on Realtor.com, a real estate website developed for consumers that features active real estate listings throughout the country.
Write down the MLS number on a sheet of paper of the house. This is a number typically included in an advertisement or banner ad marketing a property, and generally includes the letters”MLS.” This number can allow you to look for the list.
