Listing your home on the Multiple Listing Service or Boise MLS is a great way to gain exposure for your home, or to find your dream home to buy. The MLS is the main tool for agents and brokers alike, and now home owners and buyers have at least limited access as well. All of the information that is stored in to the MLS was entered by various brokers.
Now many home buyers are starting to gain access through Realtors' websites, to look for their homes directly. Each home listed on the Boise MLS is placed there by a cooperating broker so that any potential party interested in the home can find the information. The fees for this service are rolled into the brokerage fees and typically cost nothing up front.
The MLS is a free service that is sponsored by the Realtors who are advertising their current available properties.
The Boise MLS is designed to showcase as many home options to buyers as possible, to help them make an educated decision. Depending on your search criteria, homes that match what you are looking for will appear in the results. Compare this to twenty years ago when a buyer was forced to accept limited information, and was only able to visit a few homes per day For the bulk of the information on any specific home, a buyer had to contact the listing agent.
Today, the online Boise MLS offers all the information a home buyer typically desires to know about a home, plus the occasional photo tour. Google Earth can even be utilized by many MLS's to provide aerial views. Home buyers browsing today's MLS can narrow their search by eliminating property that is too high priced, too small or on too small of a lot.
With the Boise MLS you are also able to contact the Realtor easier. Buyers can always learn more by contacting the listing agent directly so they get the inside scoop on their target property. - 23309
