Tucson MLS or Tucson multiple listing service is a database of all the homes in Tucson, listed by a real estate agent, that are for sale. The Tucson MLS has all the homes for sale and there are only a few that are exempted from the list; those that are specifically excluded from the Tucson MLS have specific reasons for exemption. This database is accessible only to real estate agents or those who are affiliated with MLS. The MLS is a valuable source of information not just for those in the real estate industry but also for those who are looking to buy a home to live in or a home to invest in.
Back in the 70s, Tucson MLS started out being printed as books that were released monthly with weekly updates. Today, MLS is accessible and available online.
The Tucson MLS contains a detailed list of all the homes for sale in the real estate industry. Basically it includes information about the property and price wanted by the current homeowner. MLS is now available as online software where information regarding the specifics of a property is included, the places around the home, the financing options available, etc. Pictures and even a virtual tour are available. It is also an interactive place where real estate professionals can communicate with each other regarding clients, sharing commission, tips, etc.
Often, homebuyers mistakenly believe that such information can be accessed online using feeds and services but then they cannot completely access the wealth of information that Tuscon MLS can give to real estate professionals. For the most part, the information they can get is very limited and often outdated and inaccurate. It is best not to trust such information.
Prospective buyers can get access to a list of homes for sale in the market from other service but they should not expect the list to be that comprehensive. The best way to get a comprehensive list is to request one from a real estate agent who can give you access to home search. Be specific when asking for the comprehensive list from the agent. A typical agent might provide you with a customer copy and thats not what you want because it isnt comprehensive. What you need is for the agent to enter your details and home preferences on the MLS search engine so that you can receive updated and comprehensive listings directly in your email.
