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 (the
National Association of Realtors). We are pleased to offer you Free
all MLS homes in the Columbus Ohio MLS and Central Ohio MLS. The purpose of the Columbus MLS is to enable the efficient distribution of information so that, when a real estate agent is introduced to a potential home buyer, he/she may search the MLS system and retrieve information about all homes for sale in a given area or price range, whether under a listing contract by that agent's brokerage or by all participating brokers. The MLS systems are governed by private entities, and the rules are set by those entities with no state or federal oversight, beyond any individual state rules regarding real estate. MLS systems set their own rules for membership, access, and sharing of information, but are subject to nationwide rules laid down by NAR. An MLS may be owned and operated by a real estate company, a county or regional real estate Board of REALTORS or Association of REALTORS, or by a trade association. Membership of the MLS is generally considered to be essential to the practice of real estate brokerage. Policies on sharing MLS data The National Association of Realtors (NAR) has set policies that permit brokers to show limited MLS information on their websites under a system known as IDX or Internet Data Exchange. NAR has an ownership interest in Homestore, the company which operates a website that has been given exclusive rights to display significant MLS information. The site is Realtor.com. Using IDX search tools available on most real estate brokers' websites (as well as on many individual agents' sites), potential buyers may view properties available on the market, using search features such as location, type of property (single family, lease, vacant land, duplex), property features (number of bedrooms and bathrooms), and price ranges. In some instances photos can be viewed. Many allow for saving search criteria and for daily email updates of newly-available properties. However, if a potential buyer finds a property, he/she will still need to contact the listing agent (or their own agent) to view the house and make an offer.
