Denver Homes Team

Real Estate For Sale

The Denver MLS is a compilation of all of the homes for sale in the Denver area. The listings come from real estate offices all over the Denver including Metro Brokers, Coldwell Banker, Keller Williams, Sotheby’s and more. Contributions are made from the thousands of Denver area real estate agents who work for these local brokers. The MLS system is a huge database of homes for sale. The system also includes past sales history for all homes that have sold in the area. Realtors use this past sales information when preparing a market analysis or price opinion for a client prior to listing their house for sale.

How do I access the Denver MLS?

There are lot of ways to view house listings on the MLS. Sites such as Trulia, Referz or Zillow offer a great search tool for viewing currently listed homes. The best way, however, is to contact a local real estate agent who can set you up on an automatic search so that you will be notified when new homes are listed that match your buying criteria. Everyone wants the perfect home and many are racing to new homes as soon as they’re listed for sale. If you wait too long to schedule a showing or don’t see a new listing within a few hours of it hitting the market, you’ll likely be too late for the best properties. Having a Denver Realtor partnering with you in this competition will allow you to view homes the day they are listed.

Should I use a Denver REALTOR?

You should absolutely use a realtor! Only realtors have access to the MLS system. It is a requirement of most local realtor boards that you are a member of the National Association of Realtors as well as the local Denver Association of Realtors in order to have access to the Denver MLS. If you are only a “real estate agent” you can still represent buyers and sellers, however, you won’t have access to the MLS. As you can imagine, it would be pretty difficult to be a competitive real estate agent without access to this valuable system.
