What Is Bright MLS?
Bright MLS is a database of active real estate listings shared among licensed real estate professionals. When your home is listed on Bright MLS, it becomes visible to over 100,000 real estate agents and is automatically syndicated to major consumer websites.
Syndication Partners
Your Bright MLS listing automatically appears on: - Zillow & Trulia - Realtor.com - Redfin - Homes.com - And 100+ additional websites
Why MLS Matters
Homes listed on MLS sell for 17% more on average than those sold by owner without MLS exposure. The MLS is where buyer's agents search for properties, and it's the primary source for the most popular home search websites.
How KW Residential Uses Bright MLS
When you list with KW Residential, your home is entered into Bright MLS with all the same fields, photos, and exposure as any traditionally-listed property. The only difference? You pay a flat fee instead of a percentage-based commission.
