The MLS System
The multiple listing service (MLS) is a database of every property in the Louisville area that is listed by a
Realtor®. Your agent has access to every other Realtor’s® listing information, so a buyer only needs one Real-
tor® because that one Realtor® can look up all the listings in all areas of Louisville, Jefferson County, Oldham
County, Bullitt County, Nelson County, Spencer County, and other surrounding counties.
While anyone can access the MLS database through realtor.com, your agent can run very specific searches
on their computer that can make narrowing down the list easy. Houses can be filtered out based on the age
of the house, whether it is brick or siding, ranch style or two-story, and even the number of fireplaces.
Auto email: Ask your agent about signing up to be e-mailed every time a home that meets your needs comes
on the market. This FREE service checks the MLS for you everyday so you don’t have to!
