Most MLS's now share their
listing information with the public.
Paraphrased, condensed versions of MLS listings now
appear on websites such as Realtor.com,
who get their information directly from the MLS
system.
Additionally, real estate
agencies who belong
to the local MLS system, can now choose to display these
paraphrased
MLS listings on their own company websites.
The listings that you see on
these public websites
are shortened versions of actual MLS listings, and
not the full version
that Realtors® use,
nevertheless they are heavily searched by the public.
Additionally, most
MLS's put certain
restrictions on the
information that Realtor.com
and other public internet sites can show, such as
owner contact
information, addresses of the property and other private
information. So,
don't expect to see each and every field as the real MLS
listing, but there is enough information to make people want
to know more. That's how leads are developed.
It is important to note that the
information you see on Realtor.com
and other public internet sites is not updated
instantaneously, as the
actual MLS system
is. It may actually
take many days for the MLS to transfer information
to Realtor.com and other
sites, but Realtors® can see it immediately.
Any inquiries
(leads) we receive from potential buyers
will be emailed directly to you.
By listing with ExpressMLSListing,com,
you will receive valuable
world-wide Realtor.com exposure in addition to local
Realtors®
responding to the MLS.
