1. Is my real estate software compatible with REALPORTICO?
Yes, but not automatically. Many industry providers integrate
automatic access to various real estate and classified ad portals.
Since REALPORTICO does not have partnerships with other portals or
software manufacturers, the transfer of real estate listings must be
set up manually or requested from your provider.
Is your software not listed here?
If you are interested in a REALPORTICO partnership and are using
a system that is not yet listed, please send us a technical
specification describing how your system sends real estate data or
makes it available for external access. You can request this
specification directly from your software provider. We will review the
implementation and typically make it available within 5 to 7 business
days.
Additionally, we also offer an integration for agencies using in-house
software. A one-time fee applies for custom interfaces, which varies
depending on the technical implementation and effort involved.
2. Preliminary Remarks
Using the software transfer options listed here requires a business account. If you are an agency or commercial provider without an account, you can create a free account here. Private sellers only have access to the manual listing entry through the portal.
All necessary information and access credentials, depending on the transfer option you choose, can be found in your personal account. There, you can also select the software you are using or the desired transfer format from a dropdown list.
The processing and publication of properties can vary depending on the software used, the number of listings, and our internal capacities. In general, most properties are online within an hour of transfer. In some cases, it may take longer as updates are made at set intervals.
Each property is automatically optimized by our system before publication. This is particularly useful if you present properties on multiple portals, ensuring that the publication on REALPORTICO remains as unique as possible. This includes, for example, adding translations if they are not provided, as well as intelligently assigning special attributes that are important for historical properties but may not be captured by every software.
Therefore, if you want to reach a global audience in addition to buyers from UK, such as potential buyers from the USA, Eastern Europe, Scandinavia, or other European countries – REALPORTICO offers you a significant advantage. This is especially relevant for the sale of historical properties, as most integrated portals are aimed at regional audiences and general properties.
3. Requirements and Guidelines
On REALPORTICO, we can only publish historic properties for sale in Europe with special value or size. This includes properties commonly known as castles, manors, country houses, historic villas, listed properties of special significance, or generally as historic sites with distinctive features, such as large grounds.
Other properties built before 1945, which are considered "simple residential buildings," have little demand on our platform, as this offer is too broad and is already sufficiently covered by other portals.
Listings that do not fit into any of the above categories, as well as rental properties, will not be considered during import.
Guidelines and Best Practices for Property Listings
Every historic property deserves a dignified presentation, regardless of location, price, and condition. Therefore, ensure a high-quality presentation with meaningful media and sufficient text, as both are crucial for good visibility.
- Provide photos in the best possible quality and high resolution. Landscape images should be at least 1200 px wide.
- Please avoid advertisements or text overlays on photos. These can detract from the overall appearance, especially in a global and multilingual context.
- Watermarks should be discreetly placed and not obscure the preview image.
- Respect copyright laws and only use your own photos or images for which you have explicit permission. Photos with watermarks from other portals will not be published.
- Use AI tools solely for correcting or optimizing your own texts.
- Avoid uppercase lettering, excessive special characters like
+++Top+++
or Top Offer!!!
in titles, as well as frequently used buzzwords like Exclusive
or Unique
. These have no impact on discoverability or search intent.
- It is not necessary to explicitly include
for sale
or to sell
in the listing title. We will ensure your listing is recognized as such.
- Update your listing at least once per quarter – for example, with new information or updated photos.
