Multiple Listing Services

Multiple Listing Services (MLSs) are increasingly being asked to add features and functions to the standard MLS menu of services such as an interactive map to show qualifying properties in the context of neighborhood amenities or perceived nuisances. Layers such as toxic sites can be added to address the sometimes thorny issue of disclosure.

A prospective buyer can browse listings, look at an appropriate map, and choose an agent without ever leaving home. A good Internet site can link visitors to agents' e-mails and office Web sites.

There is also a need for mapping at the local level. Data such as parcel maps, school district boundaries, bus routes, local parks, and recreation facilities can be used to great advantage by local MLS providers.
