How to Get Started with MLS.PH

MLS.PH is a Philippine-wide property marketplace that lets you browse, list, and connect on real estate without paying commissions to a middleman.

What you can do on MLS.PH

• Browse verified houses, condos, lots, commercial, and industrial properties
• Filter by location, price, transaction type, and property type
• Contact sellers directly with no platform commission
• Post your own listings as a property owner, broker, or salesperson
• Get verified to build trust with buyers and sellers

Who is it for

• Buyers and renters searching for property anywhere in the Philippines
• Property owners who want to list and sell their own property
• Licensed brokers and salespersons looking to publish their inventory

You don't need an account to browse, but you do need one to contact sellers, save listings, or post your own property.

Sign up options

• Email and password — quick and works for everyone
• Google sign-in — fastest one-click sign-up

What you'll need

• A valid email address
• Your name and mobile number
• A profile photo (optional, but recommended)

Head to the registration page to create your account in under a minute.

Email verification is required before you can post listings or contact sellers. It also makes other users more comfortable engaging with you.

• Check your inbox for a verification email from MLS.PH
• Click the verification link to confirm your address
• Don't see it? Check your spam folder or click "Resend verification email" in your dashboard

Once verified, your account is fully active.

The blue Verified badge tells other users that your email and Facebook profile have been confirmed. Verified users get more inquiries and are easier to trust.

How to get verified

• Go to your dashboard's Verification page
• Connect your Facebook profile
• MLS.PH automatically verifies the link

Bonus: Professional badges

• Verified Broker (purple) — for licensed real estate brokers
• Verified Salesperson (green) — for licensed real estate salespersons

To earn a professional badge, upload your PRC license through the Verification page. Approved professionals receive a unique badge number (MLSPH-B-XXXXX or MLSPH-S-XXXXX) that's permanently reserved to them.

MLS.PH gives you multiple ways to find the right property.

Search options

• Browse all listings — see everything available across the Philippines
• Browse by region or city — drill down to specific locations
• Browse by category — Residential, Land/Lot, Commercial, Industrial, or Others
• Browse by transaction — For Sale or For Rent

Filters available

• Property category and subtype (house, condo, townhouse, lot, warehouse, etc.)
• Transaction type (sale or rent)
• Price range
• Location (region → city → barangay)
• Keywords in the listing title or description

Tip: bookmark frequently used filters by saving the URL — every filter is reflected in the URL.

Once you find a property you like, you can reach the seller directly from the listing page.

Three ways to reach out

• Contact — send a general inquiry message
• Make an Offer — propose a price for the property
• Schedule a Viewing — propose a date and time to inspect the property

The seller receives your message immediately. You'll see their response in your dashboard inbox and email.

Tip: in your message, include your timeline, financing readiness (cash, bank, or Pag-IBIG), and any specific questions about the property.

If you have property to sell or rent, posting is straightforward.

Steps

• Click New Listing in the header or your dashboard
• Choose the property category (Residential, Land/Lot, Commercial, Industrial, Others)
• Pick the subtype (house, condo, lot, warehouse, etc.)
• Fill in the location (region, city, barangay)
• Enter the price and accepted payment methods (cash, bank, Pag-IBIG)
• Add property details (lot area, floor area, bedrooms, etc.)
• Upload at least 3 photos (max 10)
• Add a clear, descriptive title and description
• Publish

Listing limits

• Verified users can post up to 5 listings per week
• Each listing gets a unique MLS number for reference

Listings appear immediately after publishing and stay active until you mark them as sold or expired.

Your dashboard is where you manage everything related to your listings.

What you can do

• Edit — update price, details, or photos any time
• Pause — temporarily hide a listing without deleting it
• Mark as Sold or Rented — close a listing when the deal is done
• Duplicate — create a similar listing in seconds
• View inquiries — see all messages from interested buyers in one inbox
• Track views — see how many people viewed each listing

Tip: refresh listings periodically (re-upload photos, tweak the description) to stay near the top of search results.
