Participation is free for commercial agents, with upgrade options including a full suite of marketing tools.
We send traffic back to your own websites and also pass enquiries to agents.

Q. What does crawling actually mean?
Across the internet there are many web crawlers that visit sites to analyse the content. The most well known of course being Google which visits millions of sites on a daily basis.
The Realla crawler is a process that visits your site on a daily basis and behaves like a single user clicking through the content. The crawler looks for property related information.
The crawler keeps track of what is new, updated and deleted.
We then use a process called machine learning to "understand" the content and look for things like addresses, prices and availability.
Q. Why are my properties missing from Realla?
It’s likely that we have tried to analyse your site and have not been able to crawl the properties. Please see our technical guide and get in touch with us.

Q. Can I remove my listings from the Realla Portal?
If you do not wish to be listed, please get in touch with us. If de-listed, you will of course no longer receive free enquires from the site or traffic back to your own site.
However, we may charge to reinstate the listings at a later date, because the crawls take a lot of time and effort to set up correctly.
