MLS valuable service to help sell your home If you have ever bought or sold real estate, you are probably familiar with the initials MLS or 'Multiple Listing Service." Today, the majority of residential" real estate is sold through MLS. The MLS trademark is owned by the Canadian Real Estate Association and designates a co-operative system under which proper- ties may be listed, purchas- ed or sold. The MLS is pro- vided to consumers through - local real estate boards. Multiple Listing in one form or another goes back to the late 1800's. The first real estate boards were basically exchanges where individual members would gather on a specific day of the week to trade informa- tion regarding properties for sale and to conduct tran- sactions on behalf of their clients. The initial term "Co- operative Listing System" began in 1950. Pictures were added in 1951 to create the "Photo Co-operative System' which was the name used until the current name MLS came into wide spread use ove 25 years ago. MLS is a valuable sales -- tool when you want to sell your house because your property gets greater ex- posure. Through MLS, the details of the property are made available to a whole network of local agents who will seek to match the pro- perty with a potential buyer. ) If you decide to list your property on MLS, you are allowing your Realtor to use the facilities and services of other board members as sub-agents. These sub- agents are appointed through a co-operative listing system operated by your local real estate board. Nonetheless, the listing agent - your Realtor - is directly responsible to you - the vendor - and you are equally responsible to your Realtor alone for payment of the fee for service. MLS offers market ex- posure to all Realtors associated with the local real estate board, and per- sonal service from your own Realtor. The signed MLS listing agreement is a contract bet- ween you and your Realtor as sub-agent of the brokerage company he or Tum to Page 2 * @he Dod Bovey Sta READ EVERY WEEK BY OVER 20,000 PEOPLE IN THESE COMMUNITIES * ASHBURN - BLACKSTOCK - BROOKLIN CAESAREA - COLUMBUS EPSOM - GREENBANK - JANETVILLE LITTLE BRITAIN - NESTLETON PORT PERRY - PRINCE ALBERT SEAGRAVE - SUNDERLAND - UTICA UXBRIDGE and surrounding hamlets & villages. * Lh a
