What is the difference between public websites, such as REALTOR.com®, and the MLS?

Public websites like REALTOR.com® receive listings directly from the MLS itself. Unlike the MLS which is updated instantly, the public internet sites are typically updated every 1-2 business days. Because of this, REALTORS® only use the MLS system, which is a closed system linked to their offices.
