MLS FAQ
What is the MLS?
The Multiple Listing Service (MLS) is a local database that advertises residential or commercial properties for sale to licensed realty representatives. Each area has a distinct MLS that is used by regional property representatives and is only available to these representatives. Once noted on your regional MLS, your residential or commercial property might feed (depending upon location) to several nationwide property websites, such as .com, Zillow, Trulia, Yahoo and more. The direct exposure you get on the MLS is tremendous! (Thousands of realty representatives through your regional MLS and countless prospective buyers through the web.)
How does the MLS package work?
Once you sign-up for the MLS Package, the listing broker for your location will email you the additional documents needed by the MLS. Once the kinds have actually been sent back to the listing broker, the residential or commercial property is listed and appointed a MLS number. The listing broker will note your residential or commercial property on your local MLS for six months and at that point the service is provided and there are no refunds. Once noted in the MLS, you will be accountable for provings, additional marketing, open homes, negotiations, and so on. Please click your state on the map for full information in your area.
Will my contact information be posted on the MLS and on Realtor.com, Zillow and other public sites?
Your contact phone will be posted on the real MLS. The seller contact information is not allowed on any public site. By default, the listing broker's name and telephone number will appear on your MLS listing as well as the public realty sites, such as Realtor.com, Zillow, and so on. It will be the listing broker's contact details on the general public websites. FSBO.com, nor the listing broker, have any control over this or where potential purchaser leads are sent out. This is the very same no matter which company you list with.
Does the MLS Package include any materials?
The MLS Package does NOT include any signs or products. You can see whatever that is included for your location utilizing the map above. Click your State on the map for full information on what is included.
Yard Signs, Directional Arrows, Brochures, etc can be acquired independently from the FSBO Store once your MLS order has actually been submitted. *** Please check with the listing broker before buying additional materials as specific MLS's have guidelines concerning signage and you may not be able to utilize a FSBO sign ***
When will my MLS listing post on Realtor.com and the other websites?
In most areas, your MLS listing will feed through to Realtor.com and the other sites within 1-3 company days after being active in the MLS. Realtor.com pulls limited details from the MLS and often takes a couple of days to pull the image. The listing representative has no control over the length of time it requires to feed through to Realtor.com. Also, certain residential or commercial property types will not feed through to all of the websites. Please talk to the listing broker before sending the MLS documents.
Will I be able to maintain control over my listing on Zillow if I note my residential or commercial property in the MLS?
No, when your residential or commercial property is active in the MLS you will not keep control of your listing on Zillow or any other websites that pull their information from the MLS. This runs out our control as this is an automated feed from the MLS. Once your are listed in the MLS you are technically no longer a FSBO so your Zillow listing will go from For Sale By Owner to For Sale (with a listing representative).
Can I cancel my MLS listing early?
Yes, you might cancel your MLS listing at anytime throughout the 6 month listing duration, however the upfront listing charge is not refundable or prorated. Before participating in a written listing agreement with a licensed realty broker, you ought to ask about whether there are any extra charges charged for early cancellation. Please note - Once the MLS kinds have actually been submitted back to the listing representative, we are not able to use refunds.
Can I upgrade my current FSBO.com package to the MLS package?
Yes, you may update to the MLS bundle. FSBO.com does not keep any credit card information on file. For this factor, you will need to either upgrade online by visiting to your account. Once logged in click on "Edit" and after that on "Upgrade my Package". You will be called via email by the listing broker within 24 hours of updating with a few additional types that are needed by the MLS.
I have purchased the MLS package, what is the next action to get listed on the MLS?
We have actually referred your information to a certified property broker who will put your residential or commercial property in the MLS. They will call you via e-mail within 24 hours to get started on the required MLS forms (please make certain to inspect your email and your SPAM folder). Once these kinds have been sent back to the listing broker for entry into the MLS we are unable to offer refunds.
Will my MLS listing feed to Zillow & Trulia?
For the most part, yes the residential or commercial property will automatically feed to these two websites. If your MLS does not cooperate with these sites then you will have to by hand include your listing. Unfortunately, we have no control over this. It is totally free and just takes a couple of minutes to do this. Here are the directions ...
Enter your residential or commercial property address on Zillow. Click the link to see your residential or commercial property details. Beside the map click the button next to "More" that has an arrow pointing down. From there you can "Claim This Home" so you can modify the residential or commercial property information and also "Post for sale for complimentary".
