OpenMLS - How It Works

How It Works

Newsroom

After submitting your listing to us, it usually takes 24 hours until your listing is posted to the site.

Here's why. Not only is your listing posted in HTML or web format, but it's also published to the site in the following formats:

OpenMLS's Listing Types
File Type	File Extension	Example	Device/Application
