Types of real estate portals

Types of real estate portals

Such portals help property owners manage their properties and all real estate-related work such as buying, selling, renting, maintenance, and other monetary details of tenants and buyers.

The real estate marketplace connects homeowners and buyers. Home sellers can post a home sale offer, identify the home value, set a price, and find customers. Meanwhile, buyers can search for homes and explore their features.

Such portals deal with rental properties. As listing sites, they focus on clients who want to rent real estate for various purposes for the long-term, whether for a vacation or a business trip.

This portal promotes available real estate. Information about all housing societies is kept in one place and helps residents and investors estimate their affordability and potential value.

Such portals help investors keep up-to-date with the latest information before investing. Here, investors can learn about ownership interests, housing ventures, foreclosures and bank-owned properties.

Realtor or partner portals collaborate with real estate agencies and display available property listings. Realtors show what properties they hold and the services they provide.

Real estate agents can create and update information about their services, promote their expertise, attract clients, and settle deals.
