No, you don't have to.

You just need to click on the search ads tab and find the ad you are interested in.
How to contact the advertiser?

Advertiser’s details are located on the ad page, under its description. If the phone number or other details of the Seller are not visible, it means that (s)he has not specified them. In such situation, you can contact him/her using the contact form available below.

Do I have to register?

However, you can do it by providing your e-mail address and then, it will be more convenient for you to use the platform next time you visit it.

What is RSS?

RSS is a family of formats used to send information headlines (including ads) from RSS websites selected by the user. Short messages summaries and titles are available immediately after they are published on a website.

Thanks to RSS, you don’t have to continuously visit your favourite website in search for new information – a special reader will do it for you. It will download the newest headlines and present them to you in a clear and comprehensible form.

How to use RSS channels on otodom.pl?

To read RSS messages you need a special application – a reader, often located in mail software or on a web browser with its own in-built reader (Opera or Mozilla Firefox once a special plug-in is installed).

Once you have appropriate software or a web browser, simply select RSS channels you want to receive and enter their addresses in your reader.

otoDom.pl allows you to subscribe News and Events and ads of real estate in selected categories (province, city, city district). You can download up to 30 new ads at once. Here you will find a category map.

 

How to order ads subscription?

To order a subscription of ads, you need to use a searcher, enter the required parameters and after the list of results is displayed, click on the link above: Subscribe ads. In the next step, you should specify the e-mail address and choose the frequency of receiving notifications about new ads. A link activating the ad will be sent to your e-mail address (the one you have chosen to be used for subscription).

The option for ordering subscription on new offers can also be found below each search result list.
 

How to find an ad?

Searching on the main page:

A basic searcher is located in the top section of the main page. Find an ad by choosing the type of real estate and transaction as well as location and price. Then, click on Search and browse through search results

Advanced searcher:

Click on the ”Search ads” tab in the top navigation menu. You will see a searcher of ads of real estate for sale. If you are looking for real estate to rent, change the sale tab set by default to rental in the same searcher.

Next, select the real estate type from the available list and define the search parameters that you consider important. Click on Search. If the database contains ads meeting the specified criteria, a list of ads will be displayed.

On the ads list you can set the order of displaying ads yourself using the sort by option above the listing on the right.

Use the navigator displaying the number of search result pages (under the search results list) to move between subsequent pages of the ad list. After accessing the ad page from the listing, you may also use alternative navigation: next ad, previous ad and back to list. These options are displayed on top of each ad, above the green box with basic parameters.

You may also search house designs, new investments as well as real estate agencies and developers registered on otoDom by selecting an appropriate tab in top menu.

For ad publishers
How to pay for an ad?

You can pay for an ad with a credit card online, mTRANSFER, Płać z Inteligo or a standard bank transfer. You can also activate an ad using the option "Pay with Allegro (pl. Płać z Allegro)" or SMS.

After completing the form used for publishing ads you will be redirected to the payment page – select the payment method, click on ”Next” and follow the instructions.

When will my ad be visible to others?
Your ad will be visible on otoDom.pl and on Allegro.pl after the payment is recorded.

It takes more time to record a payment made using a traditional transfer than any other payment methods, which results in the ad being published later.
This is why we recommend that you made payments using convenient online payment methods (mTransfer, credit card, Płać z Inteligo) or SMS – in such cases payments are recorded considerably faster and thus, the ad is visible sooner.

How to end / remove my ad?

To end an ad placement so that it is no longer visible to other users, you should firstly log into the My ads tab in the top menu of the OtoDom.pl site.

After logging in, you will see a list of ads divided into two categories, i.e. active and inactive ads. On the active ads list, the ad, whose placement you wish to end, should be unchecked by clicking on the checkbox located on its left side. Next, expand the list: Selected > Choose >Deactivate > afterwards confirm it by clicking on the Next button.
This way, the ad will cease to be visible to others and will be moved to the list of inactive ads.

How to extend / re-list an ad?

After logging in to the My ads tab in the top menu of OtoDom.pl, you need to find the ad on the list of active ads (if it is still visible on the platform) or on the list of inactive ads (if the placement has already ended).
The ad should then be unchecked by clicking on the checkbox on its left (without viewing or editing it) and on Choose action > Extend<b>/Promote</b>. Afterwards , confirm your choiceby clicking on the Next button
In the active ads tab, choose Extend and in case of inactive ads: Activate.

How to shrink a photo?

How to create a good title of an ad?

Advice

  • Use words that best define what is unique in your property, e.g. “an antique tenement”, or “A house next to the forest”.
  • Resign from such words as “I recommend it” “You must see it!”, etc.
  • Do not lose space for unnecessary characters such as ">", "@", inverted commas, etc.

Restrictions

The title may consist of up to 50 characters – there is a counter in the form which will help you create a title. Due to technical reasons, some letters/symbols are counted as more than 1 character.

How to order a text advertisement on otoDom.pl?

The option of ordering an advertisement is available only for real estate agencies and developers who sent us a Cooperation Agreement.

After logging in to the administration panel and choosing the "Advertisement tab" in the menu on the left, you can individually order a text advertisement on OtoDom. By choosing criteria such as a property type, location, market, we specify a particular listing for its placement. It is necessary to enter an advertisement title and its content. When defining the link to which the advertisement should redirect, you can decide to promote e.g. the whole ad, an investment, or the whole offer placed on OtoDom.

By confirming an advertisement, one of the following amounts depending on the number of views will be charged to the current invoice:

after 500 views – 8 PLN net,
after 1000 views – 15 PLN net
after 5000 views – 75 PLN net
after 10 000 views – 150 PLN net

You can buy an additional package of views for a specific ad by selecting the option: "buy an additional package" on the list. It is also possible to activate an ad for several settlement periods, which will make it possible to automatically renew it each month.

The "edit" option visible on the list of advertisements will make it possible to change the criteria, even after confirming a given text.

The placement time depends on the number of advertisements bought for a given listing and the number of persons viewing these OtoDom pages. General criteria selected in most popular provinces can considerably shorten the placement time. In case of a higher number of views, the advertisements will be rotated in a given place with the ads which were displayed most rarely having the highest priority. If the views are not   used in a given month, they will be transferred to the next settlement periods.

Advertisement in text form: title plus two lines of content will be visible on the right side of a listing under the side searcher (example below).

Important: Links should not lead to pages promoting other ad platforms! In such case, the advertisement may be removed by an administrator
