Learning what is on an MLS sheet Part 1

Wednesday, February 12th, 2014

If you have bought or sold a house, you have probably seen something called an MLS sheet.  An MLS sheet is a page detailing all necessary information about a property being bought or sold.  The MLS is short for Multiple Listing Service, which is a system designed to allow realtors to have access to and provide information about a property.

 

To consolidate the information onto one page, we abbreviate many of the items.   I thought it might be helpful to provide a detailed explanation about the abbreviations.   Once a week, I will focus on ONE section of the MLS sheet.  Stayed tuned each week!

This week I’ve focused on the  “Goods Included” section.
