Quick Search Help Quick Search works with MLS numbers from the Buffalo/Niagara MLS system. Simply insert the 6 digit MLS number and hit enter. The program will retrieve and display the listing in detail. If the property is a pending sale, sold or no longer active for any reason you will receive a note saying "unable to locate property". It simply means the property is no longer located in our database of real estate for sale.   Where do I find the MLS number? If you are reading the Buffalo News Homefinder or the Greater Niagara Newspaper Real Estate Review or a similar print ad, you can generally find the MLS number at the end of the ad for each particular property. Eg: AW198171 or 189080. Note: Do not input the letters before the MLS number. These letters are simply codes added by real estate agencies for their own internal use. The example MLS number of AW198171 should be inputted as 198171.
