Is there more than one MLS?

Question

Is there just 1 MLS for the whole USA? Or are there regional MLS's?

@Patrick Philip As a licensed agent, you'll have access to as many as you pay for as long as you're licensed for that area.

Here in MA, we have MLS Property Information Network, which covers most of the state.

I also have access to the RI MLS - a very cryptic system called "Matrix".  I really don't like it at all.

In western MA, there's the Berkshire MLS.  I have not signed up as I don't do business there.

There's also the Cape & Islands MLS.  I haven't joined, though I've sold on the Cape.  I may at some point.

@Patrick Philip typically you will get access to a single MLS.  For instance, I have western wa.  So i don't have Spokane :(  Other states might provide more than one MLS but I wouldnt hold my breath.

Regional.  Each state has one or multiple MLS' depending on size.

Is there any way to find a map of Florida divided into the MLS regions?

Russell Brazil · Answer

You typically get access to 1 MLS. I am a member of multiple MLS's because I am licensed in multiple states.

Patrick Philip · Answer

But I can view them all on sites like Zillow?

If I became a licensed agent, would I have access to just 1? Or would I get every one in the state of Florida?

Russell Brazil · Answer

About 800 mls systems.

Wayne Brooks · Answer

Regional, there are probably 7 or 8 in FL.
