    MLS FAQ

    What is the MLS?

    The Multiple Listing Service (MLS) is a local database that promotes residential or commercial properties for sale to certified property representatives. Each location has a distinct MLS that is made use of by regional realty representatives and is only available to these agents. Once listed on your regional MLS, your residential or commercial property might feed (depending upon area) to numerous nationwide real estate sites, such as Realtor.com, Zillow, Trulia, Yahoo and more. The direct exposure you get on the MLS is tremendous! (Thousands of real estate agents through your local MLS and millions of potential 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 needed by the MLS. Once the kinds have actually been submitted back to the listing broker, the residential or commercial property is noted and designated a MLS number. The listing broker will note your residential or commercial property on your local MLS for 6 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 houses, settlements, and so on. Please click your state on the map for complete details in your area.

    Will my contact info be posted on the MLS and on Realtor.com, Zillow and other public websites?

    Your contact phone will be published on the actual MLS. The seller contact info is not enabled on any public site. By default, the listing broker's name and phone number will appear on your MLS listing as well as the general public property websites, such as Realtor.com, Zillow, etc. It will be the listing broker's contact details on the public sites. FSBO.com, nor the listing broker, have any control over this or where leads are sent. This is the exact same no matter which business you list with.

    Does the MLS Package consist of any supplies?

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

    Yard Signs, Directional Arrows, Brochures, and so on can be purchased independently from the FSBO Store when your MLS order has been submitted. *** Please check with the listing broker before purchasing additional supplies as certain MLS's have guidelines concerning signs and you may not have the ability to use a FSBO sign ***

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

    In the majority of areas, 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 details from the MLS and sometimes takes a couple of days to pull the photo. The listing agent has no control over how long it requires to feed through to Realtor.com. Also, specific residential or commercial property types will not feed through to all of the sites. Please examine with the listing broker before sending the MLS paperwork.

    Will I have the ability to retain control over my listing on Zillow if I note my residential or commercial property in the MLS?

    No, as soon as your residential or commercial property is active in the MLS you will not retain control of your listing on Zillow or any other sites that pull their information from the MLS. This is out of our control as this is an automatic 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 may cancel your MLS listing at anytime during the 6 month listing duration, however the upfront listing cost is not refundable or prorated. Before entering into a written listing arrangement with a certified realty broker, you ought to inquire about whether there are any extra costs charged for early cancellation. Please note - Once the MLS kinds have actually been sent back to the listing representative, we are not able to use refunds.

    Can I upgrade my present FSBO.com bundle to the MLS plan?

    Yes, you may update to the MLS package. 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 contacted via e-mail by the listing broker within 24 hours of upgrading with a couple of additional types that are needed by the MLS.

    I have purchased the MLS plan, what is the next action to get listed on the MLS?

Once these types have actually been submitted back to the listing broker for entry into the MLS we are unable to use refunds.

    Will my MLS listing feed to Zillow & Trulia?
