  What is the MLS?
  
  The Multiple Listing Service (MLS) is a local database that markets residential or commercial properties for sale to licensed property agents.

The exposure you receive on the MLS is tremendous! (Thousands of realty representatives through your local MLS and countless prospective purchasers through the internet.)
