out of state Realtors - MLS access?

Question

Hey!

Do realtors have MLS access for the entire country or just the area they operate in?  Just wondering if we know a realtor in California but want to look at houses in NC, would they have access?

Thanks!

@Jared Burnett  Totally local, but Realtor.com pulls from all MLSs as far as I know if you want a site that would work anywhere.  Were you hoping to use your friend in CA to help you buy here?  You would be better off letting him make a referral to a local agent.  Then he would get a percentage for making the into, but he would not be involved in the transaction.

MLS is local to certain areas and counties. Each state usually has several different MLS that they use there.

No MLS's are regional. Some of them don't even cover the entire state, while some others cover multiple states. If an agent lives close to the border of an MLS area, they will have to join two separate MLS's.
