Revolutionizing the MLS to Fit Central America!
MLS access remains one of the most effective sales tools on the market. Utilizing the MLS, agents have become tremendously more effective generating sales by reaching out to buyers globally and domestically. Additionally RE.cr is the first MLS in Latin America that verifies listing data with the Public Registry reducing the risk to its users by validating the accuracy of listing information. This assures buyers and cooperating agents that there are no surprises at closings (unreported liens, disputed lot size, etc.) making a Costa Rica real estate one of lowest investments risks in Latin America.
What is an MLS?
A MLS facilitates efficiencies in the real estate transaction by increasing the number of real estate agents marketing your property as well as the national and international visibility on the web. Instead of working with one agent, you now gain exposure to hundreds if not thousands as all members of the MLS have the option to market your property in exchange for a share of the offered commission. Sellers benefit by increased exposure to their property, while buyers benefit because they can obtain information about all MLS-listed properties while working with only one broker. With the MLS in place, buyers and sellers can work with a single professional of their choice, confident that they have access to the largest database of VERIFIED properties for sale in the Costa Rica real estate marketplace.
Additional Benefits
