Is there an Oregon Statwide MLS (Multiple Listing Service)?

An MLS or Multiple Listing Service is a group of licensed real estate brokers who get together and agree to list each others listings on their websites, and in other advertisements as well. They all agree to the terms and conditions of how this is to be done.

The advantage of this for the typical home seller is EXPOSURE. You simply can get your home that you are trying to sell seen by more people when it is on MANY websites rather than just one.

At JMA Properties, we have a Portland real estate website that attracts THOUSANDS of visitors each month. Many of them are looking for homes and wind up talking to our agents. We are part of the Portland multiple listing service or MLS that almost every one of the licensed real estate brokers in the Portland area belong to.

We do everything that we can to advertise listed homes and to attract buyers to our website. If you Google Portland real estate you will find us. Easily. While we attract many buyers to work with us, this also benefits those who list with us. They get the added benefit of working with a brokerage who has a solid stream of buyers working with their agents at any given time.

(Note: If you are listed with another brokerage – this is not a solicitation of your business…but if you are considering putting your home on the market, we’d LOVE to talk with you!)
