NY State MLS is the statewide MLS for New York, but it is part of My State MLS, which is a nationwide MLS for every state in the country. All members of NY State MLS are part of My State MLS and all members of My State MLS are part of NY State MLS.

NY State MLS is New York's statewide Multiple Listing Service open to all Licensed Real Estate Professionals (Agents, Brokers, Appraisers) that are active in New York. All My State MLS members must offer compensation for any co-broke property and adhere to State Laws governing the sale of property by a Licensed Professional. Unlike a local MLS, My State MLS has no boundaries as to where you can list so long as you're licensed in that state. This means no more "out of area" listings. My State MLS is the same, but is the MLS for any state in the USA.

Low cost is one of the best features of the MLS. Whether a single broker, or an office of dozens of agents the MLS is competitively priced, without any extra fees or fines. Use theMLS to expand your working area (increase your territory for business), search for specific types of sales like foreclosures and short sales, or simply as a marketing tool to get more agents and more listings for your business.

Listings are syndicated to ListHub which feeds to over 135 different websites. My State MLS listings are fed DIRECTLY to Realtor.com, Trulia, Zillow, their network of websites, and Homes.com. The MLS uses advanced syndication that will automatically show members as the listing agent next to their listings at no additional cost. Members can promote themselves and their business by branding their listings on third party websites. Each third party site has its own listing display policy, so not all listings will display on all third party syndication sites.

Professional Search is a powerful tool that allows members to search Millions of property listings and records throughout the entire Country. Professional Search has the ability to look up listings, listing history, listing details and public records for properties. Listings can be searched by map location and/or criteria and listings can be added to a report which can be printed, saved or emailed to your clients. Professional Search is powered by REALTOR.com.

MLS Members can enter Real Estate Auction listings with a comprehensive set of auction specific fields specifically designed with the real estate auctioneer in mind. List both Absolute and Non-Absolute Auctions. When auctions are listed for sale as a regular auction, a starting bid is required. When absolute auction is selected then the form requests an estimated value. There is a link to bid on-line if you have on-line bidding set up on your website. The auction start and end is also listed, and a field designating the auction as on-line only if applicable.
