Y-O-U & M-L-S

That acronym means alot to you, if you are or intend to be on the real estate market. As a buyer or a seller the MLS can be of invaluable assistance in both efforts. If you are looking to purchase real estate it would be in your benefit to find a Realtor that has an MLS subscription because they have the ability to find you the real estate you want in a shorter period of time. Since your goal is to find what you want on the real estate market yesterday choosing an agent that has MLS access is the way to go, because they can access the larger portion of listed real estate on one centralized database.
And now lets assume that you are looking to put your property on the market, again, choosing a realtor that has a MLS presence puts you at a greater advantage, it gives your property added exposure.
