2. Listing on the MLS Through Houzeo
No, you cannot list your property on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) without a listing agreement. The MLS is a cooperative database used by real estate agents, and it requires a formal agreement between the seller (you) and the listing agent or brokerage. Houzeo can help you connect with a local agent who can assist with the MLS listing process and draft the necessary agreement. You can find more information about what is a listing agreement and what is included in a listing agreement here.
