The Multiple Listing Service (MLS) used to be a fundamental part of the real estate sector, offering a physical listing of available homes. Nevertheless, the rise of the internet has rendered the MLS outdated.


In the past, home buyers were heavily reliant on agents to access the MLS and find available properties. Sellers were often obligated to pay both their own agent's commission and the buyer's agent's commission, a practice that continues today.


Today, home listings are widely accessible online, making the MLS redundant. Homes are selling quickly, and listing exposure is no longer a major concern. Despite this, agents continue to promote the MLS as a necessary tool, misleading sellers into paying unnecessary fees.

Homes listed with DIY Home Sale sold in an average of 11 days, and two-thirds of these sales involved no agent commissions. This demonstrates the significant cost savings that can be achieved by avoiding the MLS.
