Regulations Compliance:
Listings will be entered into the primary Multiple Listing Service (MLS) based on the property's type and location. MLS regulations mandate that if a broker is a member of that MLS, the listing must be placed in that MLS. For additional exposure, cross-over marketing options are available for $100 each, allowing listings to be posted in multiple MLSs.This strategy is particularly beneficial for properties in crossover counties, as it increases visibility to a broader range of agents and potential buyers, thereby enhancing marketing reach.
Ohio's major MLSs—Central Ohio, Cincinnati, Dayton, MLS Now, and Northwest Ohio—provide extensive access and visibility. The Central Ohio MLS and MLS NOW are the only MLS’s structured to facilitate the listing of properties across all counties within the state of Ohio. Utilizing cross-over techniques can potentially expedite the sale process and yield higher sale prices or more favorable terms.
