One of the acronyms that most Realtors in Colorado Springs use is “MLS”. When you are in any industry, you get used to using the 
common acronyms of that industry and forget your clients and customers may not understand your jargon.
Let’s start with the definition: MLS stands for Multiple Listing Service. The MLS is a shared computer database accessed by the majority of local Colorado Springs Realtors. It contains detailed information on thousands of listed properties (including land) for sale in the area.
Think of the the MLS as a big property warehouse – sort of like a “Wal-Mart.” When property is available for sale, it goes in the warehouse. When it is sold, it gets taken out of the warehouse.
