We are often asked “What is the difference between the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) and the consumer website www.mls.ca?”
The Multiple Listing Service® is a cooperative system used only by REALTOR® members of Canada's real estate boards. The Victoria Real Estate Board's MLS® system is accessible to any REALTOR® member who has agreed to represent your interests and share remuneration from the transaction with a cooperating REALTOR® member. The MLS® contains detailed information and numerous sophisticated search tools, all designed to match people with the properties that fit their exact requirements.
The website www.mls.ca is operated by the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) and displays an abbreviated version only of all listings in the Victoria Real Estate Board's MLS® system. You can use www.mls.ca to make a selective search for properties in the Victoria, BC area in which you are interested that meet your needs and budget. You can then contact your REALTOR® or the listing REALTOR® for additional information or to arrange for a showing.
