WHAT IS THE  MULTIPLE LISTING SERVICE  (MLS)

 

The Multiple Listing Service is a database that supports Real Estate Agents and Broker members to access information on properties for sale. When a home, condo, co-op or land is listed for sale, it gets added by the local MLS by the Listing Agent. 

 

Each MLS has information that the agent must provide.  On Long Island, the following must be included:

 

  • A front photo of the home
  • Is it Residential/Condo/Rental/Land/Commercial
  • Address/County
  • Listing Date/Expiration
  • Listing Price
  • Number of Bedrooms & Baths
  • Year Built/Construction Type
  • Taxes
  • Parking
  • Heating/Air Conditioning/Water Description
  • Plus directions/compensation (only on agent site)/modification-exclusions and if it's bank owned.

There is also space for an agent to include unique or notable features of the home to get more attention to the property.

 

Have questions about a property that is listed on the Long Island MLS, or would you like to list your residence with us? Please call our Cell.

Hello Sheila and Larry - people see/hear terms and may/may not be aware of the actual meaning beyond a basic definition.  Basics are a good starting point but when it comes to getting people who want to move across the finish line for Long Island real estate, they will become instantly smarter when they choose you for their representation.

Good morning Larry and Sheila,

This is a wonderful explanation of the MLS.  There is so much alphabet soup in this profession, and I am sure the public appreciates this.  A

Good morning, Sheila and Larry... our MLS requires so much more information that if I copied your post to cover my MLS, it would go on for two more pages, I think!

Good morning Larry and Sheila. Can't think of anyone else to navigate the MLS on behalf of a Long Island buyer or seller. Enjoy your day.

Hi Larry and Sheila - I remember getting pages from agents when I was looking for houses years ago.  Had the same information then.
