Parks & Mottola Realtors is pleased to announce its new affiliation with the First Multiple Listing Service, Inc. (FMLS). FMLS is a premier data service provider for real estate professionals in Georgia and nearby southeast regions. It services approximately 1,800 member companies at more than 2,000 offices, reaching about 37,600 real estate professionals. The FMLS database contains more than 64,700 active property listings located throughout Georgia.

Listings from Alabama, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Florida are also in the FMLS system. Property types listed in FMLS include: residential, land/farm, commercial, condo/town homes, multi-dwelling units and developed lots.

Parks & Mottola’s membership in both FMLS and the Georgia Multiple Listing Service (GAMLS) provides maximum exposure for sellers.

Properties listed with Parks & Mottola that are entered into FMLS benefit from added exposure to thousands of real estate agents and companies beyond the immediate market area. There is a particular concentration on the metro Atlanta area, where a great number of FMLS member companies are located. According to Pam Morris, VP of Member Services at FMLS, the company traditionally serviced members from I-20 to the north state line. However, growth has been such that FMLS member companies are found throughout the metro Atlanta area and beyond, statewide and regionally. Morris describes an even greater benefit to sellers: fewer days on the market!

“In general, real estate companies who belong to FMLS have maximum coverage and exposure for their clients, and many enjoy fewer days on market,” says Morris. “An independent company, Smart Numbers, reported that first quarter of 2006, FMLS had fewer days on market than GAMLS by nearly 15 days.”

The additional exposure and potential for faster sales makes FMLS a great addition to Parks & Mottola’s comprehensive, full-service marketing approach to each listing.
