MLS Listings Resources

 The goal of MLS listings  is to provide a listings brokers and realtors with a standardized home sales database that can be referred to and compared with other home listings by other broker participants in that MLS. Commissions earned by listing brokers are publicly available and can be referred to by other cooperating brokers.Although it is considered a contractual obligation to publish commissions earnings this can be negotiated between the broker representing the buyer and the original listing broker.The accuracy and prompt reporting of the published transaction data is in the best interests of the property shopping public.

Another useful resource is Google maps. Anyone can find Google real estate listings anywhere in the world using Google maps. To get an aerial view of any MLS property listing on Google Real Estate, just type or paste the address in the Google maps search box. Then click on the “satellite” or “hybrid” box at the top right of the map. Use the slider on the left to zoom down to view the property. Maybe you want to search Google Real Estate to get an apartment, a commercial building, a residential condo, a residential home or just a vacant land. Maybe you want to use Google Real Estate to buy a house, or just to rent it. Maybe you want to buy a real estate in Las Vegas, in Seattle, in Palm Beach or within 30 miles of your city. You can choose the number of bedrooms, the number of bathrooms, the price interval, the square footage. Google base can help you.

So how do you get an MLS listings number? You must have a limited service agency put your listing in the MLS, and money is made by the agency only when your home sells. Many listing agencies have packages that will include posting your home. Good directories to submit to include mls.ca, MLS Austin, MLS Realtor, listings in CT, North Carolina, and Century 21.ca.
