MLS/idx means that more local properties can be accepted and shown on your website, and your properties can be outlet through more ‘other agents’ websites.
An agent can take on clients property as their main agent and agree to multi-list fellow agents for a little higher fee.
By doing this the main agent increases marketing to a greater reach of buyers and prospective tenants through their platform of local and national network agents. And as 75% of town livers move in a 0-4 mile radius and country folk move in 0-10 miles this means the owner has a much greater chance of selling or letting their property. And if a client has one good agent then even more has to be better.
