How does pisos.com work?
To search for the desired home, office, garage, or lot, has four different sections:
1. By sections. Buy, rent, and access new construction properties. The first and most general search line allows you to choose between the modality, type of group property (Houses and flats, premises and offices, warehouses, land, garages, and storage rooms) and geographical area. Later, after selecting the province, it is possible to specify with a map and/or list by region or municipality.
2. Last search. In order not to include the characteristics and/or location repeatedly, with just one click you can get the latest results again.
3. By location. It is possible to choose the same options as the main search, but entering the area more specifically, the town, village, neighbourhood, etc.
4. By reference. To go directly to the property by entering the digits assigned to it
Almost like a parallel and unique portal, piso.com has a specialized “Share” section. It came to light in 2010, focused on the rental room market. From pisocompartida.com you can find both supply and demand for rooms, as well as publish a flat that can be rented by rooms/areas on the web. It only has a central free text search line.
Once the list of properties is obtained, it is possible to filter by:
• If it is for rent, it can be residential, with the option to buy or vacation. If it is to buy second-hand or new construction, consult all current promotions.
• Types of property: houses and flats, premises and offices, warehouses, land, garages, storage rooms and rooms
• Type of house or flat: all, houses and chalets, flats and apartments, penthouses, duplexes, studios, rustic properties, lofts and rooms
• Price.

Despite the name of the portal and its specialization in flats, it is possible to find other types of real estate such as land, lots or plots. It can be done from the main search block or through free text in the other lines of research. For example, if you search for "Land for sale in Alicante", currently, piso.com has a portfolio of more than a thousand results from €3,000 to €100,000,000. If it is the first time you are looking for a property in the area, the portal offers information of interest, including neighbourhoods and neighbouring areas, leisure, or facilities. More information can be requested through direct contact with the real estate agent or individual of the ad.
