    MLS FAQ

    What is the MLS?

    The Multiple Listing Service (MLS) is a local database that promotes residential or commercial properties for sale to licensed realty agents. Each location has a distinct MLS that is used by local property representatives and is just accessible to these agents. Once listed on your local MLS, your residential or commercial property may feed (depending upon location) to a number of national realty sites, such as Realtor.com, Zillow, Trulia, Yahoo and more. The exposure you get on the MLS is remarkable! (Countless property representatives through your regional MLS and millions of prospective buyers through the internet.)

    How does the MLS plan work?

    Once you sign-up for the MLS Package, the listing broker for your location will email you the extra paperwork required by the MLS. Once the kinds have been submitted back to the listing broker, the residential or commercial property is noted and designated a MLS number. The listing broker will list your residential or commercial property on your regional MLS for six months and at that point the service is offered and there are no refunds. Once listed in the MLS, you will be accountable for showings, extra marketing, open homes, settlements, and so on. Please click your state on the map for full in your area.

    Will my contact details be published on the MLS and on Realtor.com, Zillow and other public sites?

    Your contact phone will be published on the real MLS. The seller contact info is not permitted on any public website. By default, the listing broker's name and phone number will appear on your MLS listing along with the general public realty websites, such as Realtor.com, Zillow, etc. It will be the listing broker's contact information on the public websites. FSBO.com, nor the listing broker, have any control over this or where prospective buyer leads are sent out. This is the exact same no matter which company you note with.

    Does the MLS Package consist of any supplies?

    The MLS Package does NOT include any indications or materials. You can see everything that is consisted of for your area utilizing the map above. Click your State on the map for complete details on what is included.

    Yard Signs, Directional Arrows, Brochures, etc can be bought separately from the FSBO Store as soon as your MLS order has actually been sent. *** Please talk to the listing broker before purchasing extra supplies as certain MLS's have guidelines relating to signs and you may not have the ability to utilize a FSBO sign ***

    When will my MLS listing post on Realtor.com and the other sites?

    In many locations, your MLS listing will feed through to Realtor.com and the other websites within 1-3 business days after being active in the MLS. Realtor.com pulls restricted information from the MLS and often takes a few 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, particular residential or commercial property types will not feed through to all of the websites. Please consult the listing broker before submitting 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 retain control of your listing on Zillow or any other websites that pull their data from the MLS. This is out of our control as this is an automated feed from the MLS. Once your are noted 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 agent).

    Can I cancel my MLS listing early?

    Yes, you might cancel your MLS listing at anytime during the 6 month listing duration, however the in advance listing fee is not refundable or prorated. Before entering into a written listing arrangement with a certified property broker, you must ask about whether there are any additional charges charged for early cancellation. Please note - Once the MLS types have actually been sent back to the listing representative, we are unable to offer refunds.

    Can I update my existing FSBO.com plan to the MLS package?

    Yes, you might update to the MLS package. FSBO.com does not keep any credit card details 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 through e-mail by the listing broker within 24 hr of updating with a few additional types that are required by the MLS.

    I have ordered the MLS bundle, what is the next action to get noted on the MLS?
