MLS® is a sharing of comprehensive home information among real estate professionals. MLS® stands for multiple listing service. It's an online tool that contains all the specifics about a home, from the address, age, square footage, number of bedrooms, baths, upgrades and schools districts to types of financing the seller will consider, and more. There is generally at least one to a dozen photographs of the home, plus a link to a virtual tour, if one exists. You will be able to view limited informations about these listings. It is best to consult with your real estate professional before making a decision.
The MLS® system provides REALTORS® with access to much more detailed information than you'll find on a web site. MLS® information will include room-by-room measurements and specifics on the property condition, renovations, appliances, property zoning and rental rates. Through the system, REALTORS® can also access the sales history of a home in order to see how many times it has changed hands and at what prices.
