About Greater Alexandria Area MLS
The Greater Alexandria Area MLS (GAAMLS) belongs to the Greater Alexandria Area Association of REALTORS, chartered in 1968 to serve west-central Minnesota's lake district. Greater Alexandria Area MLS IDX puts that inventory on an agent's own website, where Twin Cities families hunt for the cabin that becomes the retirement house.
The association in brief:
- Chartered in 1968, based in Alexandria
- Represents agents and affiliate businesses across Douglas, Pope, Todd, Grant, Otter Tail, and Stevens counties
- Runs the area MLS for a market built around chains of lakes
- Sits between the Fargo and Twin Cities systems with a territory all its own
Lake markets live and die by shoreline specifics: which lake, which shore, how many feet of frontage. A local feed on your own site speaks that language.
Coverage area
Greater Alexandria Area MLS serves agents and brokers across:
- Minnesota - the Alexandria lakes area and west-central counties
Lake by lake, town by town:
- Douglas County: Alexandria and its chain of lakes, from Carlos to Darling to Osakis
- Pope County: Glenwood and Lake Minnewaska
- Todd County: Long Prairie and the dairy-country townships
