1 - Introduction
The purpose of the Inmolink Multiple Listing Service (MLS) is to provide an electronic multiple listing service which is totally web-based to its Members in order to permit those Members to serve their clients and customers in the sale, purchase and leasing of real property. MLS acts as a neutral facility for the correlation and presentation of Listing data and information filed with it by Members and for the dissemination of that Listing data and information to its Members and to persons accessing the information available on the interactive website. The integrity of the MLS database is essential to achieving its purpose. The MLS, therefore, relies on the prompt and timely filing of accurate and complete Listing data and information by its Members.
