As you may know the MLS is not the same thing as any public real estate web site such as Yahoo Real Estate, Homesdatabase.com or Realtor.com. The MLS, or Multiple Listing Service, is an extensive database of homes for rent and sale, listed by Realtors® and can be accessed only by Realtors®. Each area has its own MLS which is made up of Realtor® members who agree to share their listings with one another in the hopes of procuring ready, willing and able renters for their properties more quickly than they could on their own.
Most MLS's now share their listing information with the public through various real estate websites. Paraphrased, condensed versions of MLS listings now appear on sites such as Realtor.com and Yahoo Real Estate, who get their information directly from the MLS system. Additionally, licensed real estate agencies, who belong to the MLS system, can choose to display these paraphrased MLS listings on their own company websites. The listings that you see on these public websites are shortened versions of actual MLS listings, and not the full version that Realtors® use, nevertheless they are heavily searched by the public.
