How to Explain Local MLS Broker Marketplaces to Clients

What a local MLS broker marketplace is and how it benefits all buyers and sellers.

Have you tried to explain to your clients how the local MLS broker marketplace works?

It might not be the easiest or most thrilling conversation, but there’s so much your clients can learn about the ways a local MLS broker marketplace sets them up for a successful home sale and how it benefits buyers and sellers everywhere. After all, they see marketplace data throughout the entire home buying and selling process, as well as on broker websites and popular online home search portals. It’s important that consumers—and real estate professionals—understand the value these marketplaces bring.

Let's break it down. Local broker marketplaces:

Give transparent, equitable and instant access to all home listings.
Ensure the most accurate, up-to-date and verifiable source of active listings and past sales.
Maximize consumer choice, providing options for brokers to work with.
Enable sellers and buyers to have professional representation in the complex home sales process.
Encourage different compensation models to thrive.
Foster competitive pricing and market competition for businesses of all sizes.
