OpenMLS is an online listing community where anyone
can post and advertise a listing for all to view worldwide. It is a "Level Playing Field".
MLS stands for Multiple Listing Service.
No it is not. OpenMLS is a "Level Playing Field" and is
intended for everyone worldwide to list and browse properties.
No it will not. OpenMLS is an "Open" service to everyone where as your local
MLS is a "Closed" MLS for only brokers and realtors who are members of your local board.
I'm sorry we do not. Our sole purpose to to provide a "Level Playing Field"
for all buyers and sellers worldwide.

You can post as often as
you like as long as they're legitimate
listings. I expect all posters to be
honest and not abuse their posting power.
All of our contact information is
located on our contact us page.
My main reason is to convey a community
feel rather than another dotcom or even worse dotbomb. I have taken the
effort not to allow commercial advertising anywhere on our site.
Unfortunately, a spammer
is 'spoofing' or impersonating one of our domains, openmls.com. Please
forward the spam to spoof@openmls.org and we will notify and forward it
to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). Thank you.
