Post a Property Listing
Posting a listing for sale or rent on Realistic Realty as a private individual is very simple and offers many advantages. For instance, your first two listings are free on Realistic Realty, with some exceptions outlined in our pricing and fees policy for individuals.
On Realistic Realty, you'll manage your listing directly from your user area. By logging in, you can modify or cancel your listing at any time, add photos of your property, and manage the contacts you receive through the chat, responding to interested parties.
Another advantage of posting a listing as an individual is that you handle all contact management yourself. This allows you to filter out profiles or users who do not meet your criteria for the property. You will be the one to screen and meet potential buyers or renters through visits.
To modify your listing details, access your account by logging in with your email and password on our website. From the "Your Listings" section, you will see the ads you have published. Select the listing you are interested in and click on the "Edit Listing" option. You can then update the details or add photos and videos.
To delete your listing, log in using your email and password by clicking "Log In" (top right corner of your screen). Once in your private area, click on "Your Listings" (in the header).
If you have a single listing, click "Deactivate Your Listing." If you have multiple listings, select the one you wish to delete and click "Manage Your Listing." On the listing page, click "Deactivate Your Listing" to remove it.
To publish your property listing, it must include at least a contact phone number and email address (you can choose which one to receive inquiries through), as well as basic details such as price, square footage, and address (which you can choose to hide before posting if desired), among other relevant fields. Additionally, to make your listing appealing, it should include photos or videos that help potential buyers or renters get a clear idea of the property's appearance and condition.
To post a property listing on Realistic Realty, you need an email account and a password for accessing Realistic Realty.
Search for a house or other property
If you suspect that the listing you have seen on Realistic Realty might be a scam or fraudulent, do not contact the listing directly. You can either reach out to Realistic Realty or report a suspicious property through the “Is there an error in this listing?” section found on the property’s page.
No. We are only a advertising platform and do not offer any advisory services. Additionally, please note that we do not publish ads for property requests or searches, except if you are looking for roommates for a shared apartment (see at the end of the room listings).

Online Security & Privacy
Here are some tips to prevent fraud when searching for property online:
At Realistic Realty, we strive to make your experience as transparent and satisfying as possible. Unfortunately, there are malicious individuals who use classified ad platforms to trick users into paying for services or listings that don’t actually exist, making them believe they’re getting a great deal.
Follow these tips to navigate and make deals online securely:
Never, ever advance money before seeing the property
And especially don’t do it if the advertiser gives you excuses not to view it.
Be wary of properties that seem too good to be true
The price might seem unbeatable or the photos might look like they’re from a movie, but not everything that shines is gold.
Always try to speak with the advertiser over the phone before closing a deal
While it’s normal for an advertiser to prefer not being disturbed by phone calls, it’s unusual for them to refuse to provide a contact number after having already communicated via email.
Be cautious with online payments to the advertiser
Realistic Realty does not currently provide a platform for making transfers. Avoid making transfers through other rental websites.
Ensure that the advertiser is the owner or has authorization to sell/rent the property
Subletting is illegal, and if you rent through someone who isn’t authorized, you could be evicted at any time.
Do not share your login details with anyone
Realistic Realty will never ask for your login details via email or phone. Only provide these details when you need to access your private area for specific actions related to your listings.
Access only if the page has a lock symbol in the address bar
If you receive an email that appears to be from Realistic Realty and asks you to log in, make sure the page where you enter your login details has "HTTPS" in the address.
By staying vigilant and following these guidelines, you can help protect yourself from online fraud.
Payment Requests via Fake Websites
After showing interest in a property, the advertiser might ask you to make a deposit or payment through a website. They often use names of well-known payment sites, claiming they are secure (e.g., Airbnb). Fraudsters can create fake sites that closely resemble the legitimate ones, tricking you into transferring money for a non-existent property. Remember, never make transfers through other websites, and always visit the property in person before making any payments.
Advertiser Cannot Show the Property and Requests Upfront Payment
This type of scam is common on classified ad sites worldwide. In many cases, these ads are designed to lure users with dream-like properties and high-quality photos. Increasingly, scammers are also listing properties with ordinary features to avoid suspicion. Typically, the advertiser prefers communication via email and may not respond to phone calls. It’s crucial to speak with the advertiser by phone and never pay in advance without visiting the property.
Phishing and Smishing
Phishing involves cybercriminals sending emails or SMS messages (smishing) pretending to be a well-known company to trick users into revealing personal or financial information. These messages are designed to deceive you into providing sensitive details.
Impersonation of Realistic Realty
By Email: Occasionally, scammers send emails using our logo, asking you to log in to your account. They may create a near-identical replica of the Realistic Realty login page to steal your password and post fake listings or access your information. To avoid this, ensure that any link to Realistic Realty leads to our secure page (indicated by a padlock symbol in the address bar).
By Phone: Sometimes, someone may call asking for the SMS code sent to you by Realistic Realty. This usually occurs when fraudsters are attempting to use your phone number to post a fake ad. If you receive an SMS code from Realistic Realty without attempting to post an ad, contact us immediately.
Stay vigilant and follow these guidelines to protect yourself from online property fraud.
Detecting a fraudulent online booking listing can be tricky, but there are several signs that can help you identify a potential scam. Here are some key tips for recognizing when a listing is not genuine and might be operated by a scammer:
1. Verify the Authenticity of the Sender or Website
- Email Address: If you receive an email that appears to be from Realistic Realty, make sure it comes from our official @realisticrealty.com address. Be suspicious of any other addresses and mark any suspicious communications as SPAM or phishing. Be wary of pages that look like Realistic Realty but have a different domain (e.g.,
realisticrealty.anuncio-xxx.com). Do not enter your credentials on these pages. If in doubt, close the page and open a new browser to access realisticrealty.com or use our mobile app. Once inside, check your previous messages with other advertisers or your Realistic Realty account information on our official site.
2. Prices Too Low for the Area and Property Features
- Price Comparison: If the booking price is significantly lower than the market average for the area and property features, be cautious. Scammers often use low prices to attract victims.
3. Suspicious Communication
- Payment Methods: Avoid payments through insecure methods like bank transfers, gift cards, cryptocurrencies, money orders, or cash. Realistic Realty does not manage booking payments through other portals.
- Pressure for Quick Decisions: If the advertiser avoids direct questions, pressures you to make a quick decision, or asks for payments through insecure methods, consider this a red flag.
4. Suspicious Links
- Payment Links: If an advertiser asks you to make a payment through a link they send, be careful. Realistic Realty does not provide links for payment. To pay for a booking, you must create or log in to your account directly on our website or app. Verify from your account on the official Realistic Realty site.
5. Inconsistent or Insufficient Details in the Listing
- Listing Review: Carefully examine the photos and description of the listing. If you notice images that don’t match, missing important details, spelling mistakes, paragraphs in another language, or inconsistencies, the listing might not be legitimate.
6. Uncommon Payment Methods
- Use Secure Methods: Use secure and reversible payment methods like credit cards, which offer fraud protection. Realistic Realty only accepts credit card payments for bookings.
7. Overly Urgent Offers
- Exaggerated Urgency: If the advertiser creates an exaggerated sense of urgency, claiming the property is available for a limited time only, stay calm and take the time to investigate. You can call our Online Booking team at 917 012 041 for verification.
8. No Tenant Profile Requested
- Mandatory Profile: At Realistic Realty, having a tenant profile is mandatory for requesting and paying for a booking. If the advertiser asks you to make an online payment without being logged into your Realistic Realty account, be wary.
9. Booking Confirmation
- Confirmation Email: Only book through the reservation form on the listing, on our website or app. A reservation is only valid when accepted by the advertiser, and you will receive confirmation via email and in your private “Your Reservations” area on Realistic Realty.
If you have doubts about the authenticity of a listing or a transaction, don’t hesitate to contact our Online Booking team. We are here to help you identify and avoid scams.
