How do I find out an MLS ID number for a property?

An MLS ID number for a property can be retrieved by entering the property address on the Multiple Listing Service's website or by contacting a Realtor for the ID number who has access to MLS listings. Realty broker sites, such as Realtor.com, also list the MLS ID number for properties.

After entering the property address or searching for homes in a particular area on realty websites or the Multiple Listing Service site at MLS.com, the MLS ID is listed under the "Facts" section about the property. This section includes other important information about the home, such as square footage, date the home was built and the cooling or heating features.
