What Are Duplicate Listings? When you subscribe to Repliers with access to multiple MLS® boards, you may encounter the same property listed in more than one MLS®. This commonly occurs when a brokerage belongs to multiple MLS®s in close proximity and lists a property on both systems to maximize exposure. For example, a property in a border area between two MLS® territories might be listed in both systems with different MLS® numbers but representing the same physical property.
