Thanks everybody for the good information. mambo: I will send you a PM. Can we discuss further in dutch language. Btw, I hope that "ray51" is the only forummember with "la tourette" (dixit Nick) ;D I also send an email to mr. Alan Moore and it seems that he has something in my price range in the Knin surronding, what would be great.

centarnekretnine is a more widely used portal these days in croatia. The problem with realestatecroatia is that when you want to know about a property, the portal wants money from the agency before it will pass the users question on. I don't know what other agencies do, but I for one am not very keen on paying money to be asked a question by Donald Duck about a house for $1 next door to Goofy! Portals are only as good as the info on them and i suspect realestatecroatia might have some out of date info.

I sense a conspiracy here. Something, well everything just does not add up.

I bought my property having seen it on realestatecroatia.com. It gives you the estate agent's details including the direct website and you can contact them directly.
Maybe if you ask the question through the website does it charge the agent, but not if you ask the agent directly. It's a starter for 10 to give you an idea, and then you can refine your search.
I am not an estate agent, just saying what I did.......
Nick can you explain your conspiracy theory.......drama drama drama

Realestatecroatia used to be free for agents and private sellers, they then introduced a fee of 1000 kunas per year for agents to advertise, they then changed their web format which is now terrible compared with the past presentation.

This is great, as we can give nico a choice of websites and then he'll have more choice for his money.
Which other portals do people recommend?
(But if he contacts the agent directly through realestatecroatia.com, if he sees a property he likes, that should be fine for the agent not paying??)

Martin Westby puts a fair bit of effort into encouraging his agents to keep their listigns up to date. So you could try croatia holiday and home. I don't know how well he covers knin though...
Maybe for less explored (by property buyers) areas such as knin, it would be better to just use google and search terms like nekretnine <town name> or property <town name> or house for sale <town name>?
Actually that's a subject which I would like to know more about! What search terms do people enter when trying to find property in croatia?

nekretnine [town name] is the term I enter.

In order of frequency, my customer sites are accessed by a number of searchers and my feedback is that they use the following search words....
Croatia 52% coast 12% seaside 9% property 8% home 4% all others (dalmatia, adriatic, real estate, houses... etc) 15%
Clearly, people think about location first.
For continental Croatia, it's this....
Croatia 55% inland 11% rural 7% countryside 5% all others (rustic, zagorje, houses, real estate, cheap... etc) 22%
If you want to be found, this what most people are typing into Google to find places to buy. This is a tiny sample of the whole but it's all I have.
