What is the difference between the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) and the consumer website REALTOR.ca?
The Multiple Listing Service is a cooperative system used only by REALTOR Members of Canada’s real estate boards. It is accessible to any REALTOR Member who has agreed to represent your interests and share remuneration from the transaction with a cooperating REALTOR Member. The MLS contains detailed information and numerous search tools, all designed to match people with the properties that fit their exact requirements. REALTOR.ca is a website operated by the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) that displays an abbreviated version of most listings uploaded to the MLS system.
