Using The MLS Search Function
The MLS or Multiple Listing Service is a database where local agents upload their listings or properties for sale so that other local agents can show and sell these properties. As a member of the MLS I have an agreement with all of the other agencies in the area to show and sell their properties. That's the reason I have the database on my site. My clients have the use of this feature to make their property search easier and more effective.
This tutorial has written instructions as well as a video tutorial to assist you in learning how the MLS search function works
Instructions:
1. Log in to www.leethomas.net using your user name and password
2. Click on "Click Here To Begin Searching" in the main body or "MLS Search" on the left side menu
