We wanted to provide more information on the MLS and how this website works. When a real estate agent works with a seller and receives a signed agreement to list their home in the MLS (Multiple Listing Service), the agent typically will provide photos and listing details. Once they enter their listing into the MLS system, the listing then syndicates to all real estate websites that are offering the local MLS data feed.

In Central Ohio and the Columbus Realtors MLS, once the home is under contract, which means the seller has received and accepted an offer, the home may show up in the search on the MLS, but it should be labeled as being contingent. 

There’s always a chance that the property is already under contract or has received an offer.  Sometimes we are reliant on other agents updating their data correctly.  We would be happy to contact the agent on your behalf to check on the status of your listing.  Feel free to contact us anytime in regards to listing status.
