The Global Multiple Listing Service (MLS)

What is the Global MLS, and how does it work for you?  The Global MLS is a database of properties currently on the market in the area.  Brokers participating in the Global MLS (which includes virtually all Brokers in the area) list all the homes they have for sale and agree to share in the sales commission of the properties.  This means that if I list your property on the Global MLS for you, but another

 agent finds a buyer for your house, that other broker or agent is entitled to part of the commission.  The big advantage to you, as the seller, is that every single broker and agent participating in the Global MLS has an incentive to sell your home.  This effectively puts every agent in the area to work selling your home!  The first place a buyers agent looks is always the Global MLS.  There is simply no better way to gain instant and widespread exposure for your home than listing it on the Global MLS.

So, the first thing I'll do as your agent is get your home listed on the Global MLS!  When another agent is searching for a home to meet the needs of a buyer, the agent will search the Global MLS based on the buyers criteria for price range and features.  So I'll enter all the important information about your home, such as the size, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, and any special features.  I'll also take photos of your house and include them with your Global MLS listing.  Agents and buyers alike are always more likely to look at listings with photos.
