MLS stands for Multiple Listing Service. It is the main database where ALL Realtors input the homes that they’re listing. Our local MLS allows us to push out new property data to national and local 3rd party websites which include: Realtor.com, Trulia.com, Zillow.com, and Real Estate Brokerages throughout SE Wisconsin. This information is then shared with all 3rd party Real Estate websites to help you sell your home with ease. MLS gives your home the most exposure by allowing for those websites and brokerages to procure interest in a subject property. ALL of Exsell’s listings are posted on MLS as full service listings. This is the exact same way traditional Brokerages in our area post their listings.

• Over 94% of all properties sold in the US are as a result of MLS listing exposure. MLS is the main source of property information distributed locally and nationally. It is the “main tool” used in the real estate marketplace.
• As explained in #2, being listed in MLS means that all the local realtors and those with MLS access can find a seller’s home in their local MLS database.
• Also, once listed in MLS your property is distributed and syndicated for sale on hundreds of local and national real estate sites such as Zillow.com, Trulia.com and Realtor.com and more.
• In addition, our MLS listings are also distributed to all other local brokerage websites in order to sell your home with ease. All local brokerages share information in an effort to procure a sale for your home.
  MLS listed properties sell faster and at a higher price than non-MLS listed properties.

Selling with a Full Service Brokerage is better than selling with a Traditional Brokerage that charges you 5% or even 6% because the Seller receives the same exact representation, marketing and exposure on MLS, the same respect, customer service and expertise. The only difference is that we save sellers more money!

Being a member of MLS requires responsibility and proper legal credentials. An individual can’t simply post an “ad” in MLS, like placing an ad in a newspaper. MLS requires each member to hold a valid real estate license in which must be current. MLS also requires each real estate agent to be a member of a local real estate board in which the agent currently practices. All brokers are to abide by MLS rules and procedures. The Real Estate Broker is responsible for the accuracy of the listing, the record keeping of listing agreements, and all sales documents. Every seller must have an active listing agreement with an agent in order for their home to be listed in MLS. When each seller lists their home for sale, the realtor that they work with will be representing and assisting them from start to finish. That agent will be responsible for MLS entry along with any and all changes to the original listing agreement, such as price reductions or a change in the listing terms.

When listing “For Sale by Owner” (FSBO), Sellers are only reaching a small percentage of buyers in the market (15% – 30%). In addition to the lack of exposure, Buyers know the Seller is saving money by not listing the home with a Realtor, so they feel they can negotiate a better deal. Statics show that FSBO’s actually net LESS money when selling by owner vs. listing and selling with a Realtor. ,  Exsell gives a Seller full exposure to all of the Buyers and Realtors on the market, therefore, giving sellers the best chance to net more sale proceeds.
