Northwest Multiple Listing Service - NWMLS

The Northwest Multiple Listing Service (NWMLS) is a member-owned, not-for-profit organization that facilitates cooperation among its member real estate firms. The organization was formed when four innovative multiple listing services joined forces to streamline services for their clients. The organization revolutionized the industry by centralizing real estate listing data and being the first MLS

in the country to put this data online. Originally called the Puget Sound Multiple Listing Association, the name changed in 1996 to Northwest Multiple Listing Service to reflect the growing geographic area served. Today, NWMLS is one of the leading multiple listing services in the country, providing member services to 30,000+ real estate brokers in 26 counties in Washington state and beyond.

Introducing First Look: more flexibility for sellers, without compromising an open marketplace.
Sellers may need time to prepare, stage, photograph, or develop a marketing plan for their property. But that flexibility should not create private, siloed listing networks.
Here is how First Look works:
1. Every First Look listing enters the NWMLS database on day one.
2. The property is instantly visible to all 30,000+ member brokers and their buyers.
3. Your sellers get up to 21 days to finalize pricing, photography, and staging before going active.
We are responding to the demands of the modern marketplace while protecting consumer choice and fair competition.
