Before I lose you let me clear up the alphabet soup in the title. MLS is the acronym for Multiple Listing Service. That acronym means a lot to you, if you are or intend to be in the real estate market. If you are a seller in today's market you must know that getting your property on the MLS gives it so much more exposure and exposure sells real estate. The catch there is that only MLS members have the ability to post properties on the MLS so you better be using an MLS agent.
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. Your property is now easier to find instead of being on one real estate company's site its on a site that everyone goes to first, The Bahamas MLS.
There are definitely some other and more important issues as it relates to deciding on a real estate agent to represent you in buying or selling but one that has an MLS presence is a sign that your agent is serious about client representation.
