MLS

Multiple Listing Service, MLS, also Multiple Listing System or Multiple Listings Service, is a database which allows real estate brokers representing sellers under a listing contract to widely share information about properties with real estate brokers who may represent potential buyers or wish to cooperate with a seller's broker in finding a buyer for the property. The MLS combines the listings of all available properties that are represented by brokers who are both members of that MLS system and of NAR or CREA, the National Association of Realtors in the US or the Canadian Real Estate Association.
