FAQ

With our exclusive technology, our ads do not require manual validation and are thus updated in real time.

Because of this system, you need to act fast once a new ad has been published. Don’t hesitate to use our powerful e-mail alert system (see questions below).

Certainly. Thanks to the Internet, 1.4 billion people (including 350 million Europeans) can view your ads from anywhere and in their native language.

No. Unlike other real estate sites that offer several languages, we don’t use automatic translation. Instead, our ads are automatically generated using exclusive technology resulting from over two years of collaboration by a team of real estate agencies, linguists, IT experts and translators. Ad quality is perfect in all languages, and foreign buyers can thus use the GratisImmobilienAnzeigen.com portal as though it were a national portal in their own language.

Too many reasons to be listed here, but a few minutes browsing the site should be enough to convince you that GratisImmobilienAnzeigen.com is the ideal solution for the quick sale of your property.

That said, here are just a few of the reasons GratisImmobilienAnzeigen.com is so successful:

• Ad prices (don’t hesitate to compare)
• Functionalities (among the most comprehensive)
• Multilingual ads (widespread circulation)
• User-friendly site that buyers appreciate (easy browsing, clear presentation, detailed ads, etc.)

In fact, the best way to convince you to place your ad on GratisImmobilienAnzeigen.com… is to check out the competition.!

True, there are other sites with ads in several languages, but:

• Only rarely are they geared towards private sellers.
• Their functionalities are much more limited than those of GratisImmobilienAnzeigen.com.
• They often have no more than two or three languages (compared to 6 for GratisImmobilienAnzeigen.com).
• The quality of the ads in other languages is generally quite inferior to the ads on GratisImmobilienAnzeigen.com. We are the only ones who do NOT use automatic translation. If you are fluent in several languages, test it for yourself… you’ll soon see what makes us stand out from the rest!

Please consult the page Selling to a foreign buyer? How does it work?.

Absolutely not! You don’t even have to write it in your own language! Our exclusive intelligent ad creation system automatically creates ads from the information you have provided. This produces standardised ads that are pleasant to read and completely error-free (in all languages).

Once an ad has been paid for, you have 72 hours to make any changes you wish. After that time, most of the information can still be modified, except for the basic features of the property: type, location, surface area, etc.

Once your ad has expired, you can renew it for a discount of 20%.

• If you are selling an entire building, choose the Building section.
