The MLS is a service provided by all Realtors who are members of the Orlando Regional Realtor Association and the Mid Florida Regional MLS. Not all licensed real estate agents are Realtors. The term Realtor is reserved for those agents who are members of these two organizations and who adhere to a strict code of ethics.
