What is the benefit of listing a home in different the MLS in California if the

[f0revershort]

home is not in that city? I'm doing research for someone who is trying to figure out why it makes sense to list a home in the MLS for a different city or county when the home is not in that location. For example, a home in San Francisco would be listed in the Oakland MLS. If the person was looking for a home in SF, wouldn't they just go to the SF MLS? If there was a home listed in the Oakland MLS I would expect that home to be located in the city of Oakland. Can someone explain this to me?

This appears to be a distoration of the truth and would be a violation of the code of ethics and and lack of disclousre.































When inputting a listing, it will have the name of the city and zip code and thats where the property should be listed.

Because some listing brokers only pay commission to members of their MLS board only. For that reason, it is wise to list the home in nearby MLS boards. For example, maybe an agent in Oakland has a client that is relocating to San Francisco. That agent will show the San Francisco house that is listed in the Oakland so that he/she can get the commission.
