How to Easily Navigate the Garden State MLS

How to Easily Navigate the Garden State MLS If you're at the beginning of your house search in New Jersey, using the Garden State MLS (Garden State Multiple Listing Service) is a simple and great place to start. The Garden State MLS is a valuable resource you can access any time.

So what is the Multiple Listing Service? It's a service that shows every home for sale listed by a realtor in a certain area. Listings can give all of the specifics of a home like address, age, number of bedrooms/baths, square footage, upgrades, school district, and more. However, only a real estate agent has access to these details, while the public sees a preview with limited information.

Fortunately, the Garden State MLS is one of the most successful listing services in the state. With this listing service, you'll get up-to-date listings and details on each property. Details include property taxes, town demographics, and school information. You'll have access to the most complete inventory listings in Northern New Jersey.
