MLS (Multiple Listing Service) is the most comprehensive computerized database of homes for sale with over 1.5 million listings nationwide. This database is used by real estate professionals to market and promote their own listings and to cooperate with other brokers. Brokers, in turn, are compensated with part of the commission. The majority of real estate transactions are a result of direct MLS exposure. 

By having your home in MLS, it will be exposed to thousands of local real estate agents who otherwise would not have known that your property was for sale and would not have shown it.
