Year-round advantages of flat fee MLS in Florida

Where a Wellington listing actually reaches
A Wellington listing reaches buyer agents through the BeachesMLS. That is the database an agent searches for a client who has asked about Olympia, Black Diamond, Versailles, Binks Forest, The Landings, Palm Beach Polo, Sugar Pond Manor, Equestrian Club, Isles at Wellington and Aero Club. A listing that is not on it is invisible to every one of those searches, whatever else it is advertised on. Buyers looking at Wellington frequently look at Royal Palm Beach, West Palm Beach and Loxahatchee Groves in the same week, so the comparison a buyer agent runs is rarely one city wide.
