How the MLS Works
and why you should use it!

Nearly everyone who has been involved in the sale of or purchase of a home has heard of or had contact with the “MLS” (Multiple Listing Service). There are many MLSs throughout the US, Arizona has seven independent services. Most co-operate with each other on various levels. There are also various internet based sites such as Realtor.com and HomeAdvisor.com that mirror the information shown on many MLSs. In the past, access to the MLS had been generally limited to Realtors® but with the power of the internet it has now been made available to the general public on a limited basis and many home buyers search these sites themselves to find prospective homes to buy.

The MLS is the most useful tool available to you in selling your home. It is a “subscription” service available exclusively to Realtors® that each must pay to join. It allows them to share information on their listings with other agents and obtain information for prospective buyers.
All agents who belong to the MLS can access detailed information and photos on every property listed.

As the internet becomes more and more important as a search tool you may believe you can just put your property on the internet and buyers will flock to you. Experience has shown this is not the case. Most buyers still rely on real estate professionals to find a home for them and all Realtors® rely on the MLS. By having your home on the MLS you get the broadest possible exposure for your property.

When you list your property with Cyber Realty you immediately get an army of salespeople to aid in the sale. In the majority of sales, an agent from one office will list a home and an agent from another will sell it. Realtors bring buyers, and 80% or more of all homes sold are listed on the MLS.

The true power of the MLS is the cooperation between the 40,000 Realtors® in Arizona alone.
