What is the MLS and who owns it?
In most areas, the MLS is a corporation owned/controlled by the local association of Realtors. To input listings, you must be a licensed member of the local association of Realtors (we and/or our local affiliates hold this membership in most areas). MLS Members cooperate by showing and selling the homes listed by other members, for which they receive a commission for bringing the buyer to the seller. The commission amount offered to the agent who brings the buyer is almost always listed (usually required by the MLS) along with the detailed information about the home and picture(s). The MLS is the primary tool agents use to find a property when they have a buyer. Over 85% of buyers use agents to help them find properties (especially the most motivated buyers: re-locations, pre-approved, etc.). For most agents, the MLS is the tool used every day to find a home for their buyers (for many agents, it is the only tool they use to find homes.) The MLS is not available to the public, only MLS
