Pulling data from the MLS?

Question

Hi all,

I apologize if this has been posted but I can't find anything on it via BP or Google. I'm from Los Angeles, CA and I'm looking for a tutorial on pulling data from the MLS into CSV/Excel.

On another note, can anyone recommend a good tutorial for the MLS? I'm a new Real Estate Agent and I would like to learn everything about the MLS. I have been playing on it but I'm sure there are better ways of compiling research and statistics.

Thanks,

Archie

@Archie Robb usually your board of realtors will offer a class on getting started with your MLS. I would suggest reaching out to your board because I'm sure they know where to go or at least direct you in the right path to finding the information for you

@Matt Weiss There's an export function. Just create a search with your specific criteria and click count. Once you bring up all the listings for that specific search there's an export button.

If I ever figure out a better way to do this I'll remember to post in this thread.

@Archie Robb,

Just curious if you had potentially a link to share around pulling the data out of the MLS?

Was there an export function or were you able to potentially automate this into a google doc nightly?

Please ignore the question on pulling data, I've figured it out.

But the tutorial question still stands. Any good tutorials out there?
