We haven’t shared the latest consumer guides for you to use in your marketing recently, so we are happy to share not only this week’s, but also the last several hot topics you might want to use.  This week check out the “Multiple Listing Services” guide.  As you know, MLSs are an efficient tool for marketing properties, seeing available homes for sale, getting helpful marketplace data, and sharing listing information to national and local websites that advertise property information to consumers and provide online brokerage services. But do consumers recognize their foundational role in maintaining accurate, transparent markets? This updated guide is a great tool for having a conversation with your clients and customers about the value that MLSs-and real estate professionals who are REALTORS®-bring to the real estate transaction.

As a reminder, all guides in this series are available for download-in both English and Spanish-on facts.realtor. Please allow up to two weeks for the Spanish version of the latest resource to be translated and uploaded.

For ease of reference, below is a list of the most recent guides:

• UPDATED: Multiple Listing Services
• Overcoming Roadblocks to a Sale or Purchase
• How Solar Impacts a Real Estate Transaction
• Navigating Interest Rate Shifts
• Financing a Renovation When You Buy

Thank you for your continued engagement with the “Consumer Guide” series and for sharing the resources with prospective clients to ensure they have the information they need to find success in their home buying or selling journey. Check out the next consumer guide on unpacking after a move.
