MLS listing

Home for sale

An MLS listing is a property advertised through a Multiple Listing Service—a database where real estate agents share information about homes for sale.

The MLS allows agents to see each other's listings and split commissions when a buyer's agent sells another agent's property.

The house just hit MLS listing yesterday and already has three offers.

In American real estate, getting a property on the MLS means maximum exposure to potential buyers.
