1. Do I really need another listing portal?
Yes. REALPORTICO is not just any listing portal; it is the one and only brand exclusively dedicated to European historic properties.
While hundreds of local portals cater to daily real estate or luxury listings, none are as precise in reaching a relevant
global audience specifically interested in historic estates. We offer a unique platform where the world’s most discerning buyers for these
exceptional properties connect.
2. Why continue to use a portal in 2025 when I can reach millions of users worldwide through social networks?
Although social media is an essential marketing channel, enabling businesses to reach large audiences quickly, platforms like Facebook and Instagram are primarily entertainment mediums with fleeting content.
Followers and likes, while nice, are not meaningful in a niche market like castles and grand historic estates. Most serious prospects are not waiting for "dream properties" to pop up on Instagram. Successful historic property marketing relies on a focused strategy—using one or two select online platforms in combination with a relevant network and a targeted offline sales approach.
Additionally, sellers should keep in mind that achieving meaningful reach on social media will require a continuous advertising budget moving forward.
3. What is REALPORTICO's coverage? How many inquiries can I expect?
The reach, interest, and inquiries generated through REALPORTICO depend on several factors.
These include location, demand, the relationship between location, price, condition and land size, as well as the distribution of listings across agencies and portals
and the overall quality and presentation of the property. Coverage can vary, with views ranging from a few hundred to several thousand per month.
Below, you'll find more detailed statistics, based on real visitor data. Keep in mind, though, that raw numbers alone don't tell the full story — it’s the relevance of the reach that truly matters.
4. Are there any guidelines to publish listings?
While an attractive presentation may not be enough for properties with low demand, the quality of a listing is essential for achieving good reach.
To help you achieve the best results in your marketing efforts, we recommend using high-resolution, meaningful images and providing a balanced amount of information and text.
Utilize AI tools to correct spelling errors and optimize your written content. However, avoid using generic AI-generated text, as it tends to be static and is often easily recognized by experienced readers.
We kindly ask you to refrain from using dominant advertising messages or company logos as overlays on photos, as these can detract from the listing’s professional and cohesive appearance.
5. How can I publish historic properties?
Listings can be published manually on the portal or transferred via any CMS or real estate software. During registration,
agencies can specify their software. Currently, we offer built-in support for the following CMS/transfer options:
If you're using proprietary software, we also provide a tailored import option to fit your technical environment. Please get in touch with us if you'd like to automatically transfer your listings.
Additionally, we now offer the option to publish properties via messaging services like WhatsApp or Telegram. Simply send a link with a predetermined prefix to our service phone number, and the portal will automatically import, update, or delete a listing based on the prefix. Listings can be published manually on the portal or transferred via any CMS or real estate software.
