Guide to Arizona Multiple Listing Services

Use an Arizona real estate listing to sell or buy with ease
By Jennifer Ehlenfeldt

Using Arizona real estate listings is the easiest and fastest way to either sell or buy a property. When you're looking to sell your business or home for a great price, the more people that see the listing the better your chances will be. Get your property out there through an AZ MLS by hiring a Realtor® to list your property for you.

Finding a property, whether it's a business or home, can also be a tedious and time-consuming task. When you're looking for a certain type of property in a specific location, it's a lot easier to search an Arizona real estate MLS than it is to look through a few listings at a time in the classifieds or local Realtor® pages.

1. Hire a Realtor® that lists with the Arizona MLS, and make sure he lists your property quickly.

2. Search MLS Arizona home listings online and narrow your options by location or amenities.

3. Compare property prices by viewing several Arizona home listings at the same time.

Action Steps

The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

List a property with an Arizona MLS Get your property sold quickly by hiring a Realtor(R) that's affiliated with the Arizona Multiple Listing Service. By hiring one Realtor(R), you are essentially hiring a whole army of Realtors(R) that use the listings to search for properties for their clients.

I recommend: Find a Realtor® through the Arizona Association of Realtors® that will list your property in as many AZ MLS listings as possible. Look for a Realtor® that provides Arizona Regional Multiple Listing Service access, or if you are selling your property without a Realtor®, contract with Flat Fee MLS Listings to list your property in state for sale listings.

Search the Arizona Multiple Listing Services for a property in a certain area Use the Arizona real estate listing to find a business or home in a specific area. When the location is the most important aspect of your potential purchase, search by area to find any properties that meet your criteria. Once you get the list of area properties, you can easily search within that list for a specific type of property.

I recommend: Jump start your search by browsing listings provide free of charge online to all buyers. Search the RealtyDirect site for properties in the Mesa, Scottsdale and Phoenix areas, or specify a location with a search at another Arizona listing site, The Pepper. If you want a property in the southern part of the state, search the Southern Arizona Properties MLS listing.

Find a property that meets your criteria through Arizona real estate listings If you know what kind of property or home you're looking for, but don't really care where it's located, search amenities before location. Focus your search on finding a property with the amount of space, rooms and other specifics you are looking for. Once you've found a few listings for properties you like, choose locations that appeal to you more.

I recommend: Search HomeAZ.net for a specific size or type of property. Narrow your search down by inputting certain criteria you have to find the perfect property. Search the Northern Arizona MLS for specific types of commercial properties or homes.

Tips & Tactics

Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide

Most AZ home listings and property listings don't include properties not listed with Realtors(R). You'll need to contact the owner directly for any properties being sold by the owner.
If you want to sell your property without the help of a Realtor(R), use a flat-fee multiple listing service. Arizona listings are available through many realty companies. Make sure you ask what listings your property will be in before signing any contracts.
