An MLS is the abbreviation of for Multiple Listing Service and it is a database system that allows real estate agents within a certain area to share their properties, both available for rent and sale with other agents, so that they can organize viewings together and be able to sell or rent properties through this system, at no extra cost for the client. This system is great as it allows estate agents to work together toward a common goal of helping buyers find their desired properties and helping sellers sell their properties. Clients dealing with an estate agent that works with an MLS can benefit greatly from this service, as it allows them to have one point of contact to access all properties available for sale or rent on the market and it greatly assist vendors by giving a much higher exposure to their property, hence a higher change of obtaining an offer.
