The Multiple Listing Service® - It Works for Sellers & Buyers

What's the surest way to sell your property quickly and to command the best possible price?

The answer most real estate professionals would respond is to list it on the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) of the Association of Regina REALTORS® Inc.

Listing a property on MLS® immediately places information about the property in the Association's MLS® computer database. This database is updated each working day and is searched daily several hundred times by member REALTORS® representing buyers looking for a property.

Only members of the Association of Regina REALTORS® Inc. may list a property on the Regina MLS® database. The database typically contains 1,000 plus residential, commercial, agricultural and resort property listings for sale in Regina and area.

Information on newly listed properties not only appears in the Association's on line computer system -- it is highlighted as a new listing in the Association's bulletin which is distributed each working day to all REALTORS®, it appears in the Association's bi-weekly listing catalogue distributed to subscribing members and is placed on the Internet at Canada's most popular real estate website at www.mls.ca.

REALTORS® work with an extensive network of buyers looking for properties in the Regina area. These may include buyers looking to purchase their first home, existing homeowners moving up, buyers who are relocating to the Regina area, or commercial investors.

When someone has made the decision to buy a property, the MLS® database offers the most comprehensive database of properties for sale on the market. Important information such as location, property features, asking price and photographs is readily available to REALTORS® and buyers to assist with their property search and buying decision.

The database also contains a record of thousands of property sales, which assists REALTORS® in establishing the listing price or an offering price for buyers.

The national MLS® website at www.mls.ca has become one of the first places many buyers now begin to look for a property. Statistics have shown that Regina properties rank near the top nationally of listings downloaded by consumers from the website providing unprecedented local, national and international exposure for sellers.

Each year approximately 3,000 properties exchange hands through the Regina MLS® representing the vast majority of property transactions in the Regina and area market. The Multiple Listing Service® has been operated by the Association of Regina REALTORS® Inc. for over forty years.

Whether listing or buying a property, the Multiple Listing Service® offers the best means of bringing sellers and buyers together.
