MLS – Multiple Listing Service

Every metro area of the USA is served by a MLS – Multiple Listing Service. The purpose of these organizations is to centralize data on properties that are being offered for sale or lease and to provide that information to its Realtor® members to enable their professional activities.  Qualifying Internet-based organizations are allowed access to this data for presentation to the general public for the purpose of assisting the sales efforts of the MLS Realtor® members.

ARMLS Access

Only Realtors® who are members of one of these local association can submit data to ARMLS and have full access to the backend features and controls of the ARMLS system.

Agents who are not Realtors® have same access as the general public.

ARMLS Dominance of Residential Real Estate Info

A few critical points to remember:

  • ARMLS is the source for 99+% of all metro-Phoenix home for-sale and for-lease information that you see anywhere on the Internet. Some FSBOs advertise on Craigslist and such but that’s the nature of any exceptions.
  • A local Realtor® can provide direct access to this information to you. That’s well explained here … ARMLS Portal
  • Except for access provided by a local Realtor®, any such information you see anywhere else is at least second-hand, and commonly very out-of-date

As noted above, for any metro area, if you are serious about buying a home, the very first step you should take is to find a local Realtor® to assist. In metro-Phoenix, every Realtor® brings the power of ARMLS to your quest. Your best choice may NOT be the first Realtor® you contact … ask as many questions as you need to find the Realtor® that you enjoy working with. To go home-questing on your own is simply foolish

… because …

Buyer Agent – Service is likely FREE to the Buyer

Buyer Agent No-cost Sign
As a buyer, services provided to you by a Realtor® are likely to cost $0 … nothing … nada. Except for very unusual situations, the buyer’s agent gets paid only if there is a closed sale, and then only as a reduction in the net cash paid to the seller. A buyer who does not utilize the services of a Realtor® is just being dumb … I apologize for the bluntness, but the decision is every bit that bad.

Lockbox Management and Control

In addition to MLS services, ARMLS provides services and controls for the electronic lockboxes that are an inherent part of the bulk of ARMLS listings. Even in this very technological age, these are marvelous devices, as we explain here … Lockbox Technology.

As for the history … ARMLS was created in 1982. As of 2016, it was already providing MLS data management functions for over 32,000 broker and agent subscribers for the approximately 60 by 80 mile area in Arizona that is centered on Phoenix and includes about two-dozen other cities, towns and communities.

ARMLS is presently owned by five local Realtor® associations: Phoenix, Scottsdale Area, SouthEast Valley, West Maricopa (county), and Western Pinal (county). ARMLS is governed by a Board of Directors composed of members of these local associations.
