What is a Listing Service, and How Does it Work For You?

A real estate MLS is a database of properties currently on the market in a particular area. Licensed agents and brokers subscribe, for a fee, to have access to this system and virtually all real estate professionals within the area list the land they have for sale in this system.

TxLots.com currently lists properties within these Texas MLS systems:

• Austin
• Belton/Killeen
• Fredericksburg
• Marble Falls
• Odessa
• San Antonio
• San Marcos

The big advantage to you—as a seller listing your property via TxLots.com—is that the first place any agent for a buyer wanting land in Central or West Texas looks is this MLS service/system—and every broker and agent participating in that system has an incentive to sell your land in order to earn the selling commission. This effectively puts every agent in the area to work selling your land. There is no better way to gain instant and widespread exposure for your land, while potentially avoiding paying commissions, than listing on such a system for a flat fee through TxLots.com.

When another agent is searching for a lot to meet the needs of a buyer, the agent will search the system based on the buyer's criteria for price range and features. TxLots.com will enter all the important information about your land, as well as any special features and photos of your property. (Agents and buyers are always more likely to look at listings with photos, so TxLots.com requests that you furnish six or more of your property. Remember to use this powerful visual tool to showcase special features or benefits of your property!)
