Green-Acres: It’s an International thing…

Real estate agencies across Europe see Green-Acres as a valuable platform for reaching international buyers, particularly for second homes. The platform’s ease of use, and wide international reach, are its strongest assets. However, can they provide agencies with a consistent volume of leads, especially in more niche regions and categories?

This is ImmoEdge’s in-depth review of Green-Acres:

1. Company Overview. Founded in 2004, Green Acres is headquartered in Paris, France, and has grown into a key player in the European real estate market. The company serves a wide range of European countries, including Spain, Portugal, France, Italy, Greece, and also Israel, and the UAE. They offer mostly resale properties in a variety of places, from the Algarve to cities like Malaga and Florence.

2. Subsidiaries. Green-Acres have developed a network of their own property portals, this includes Green-Acres France, Portugal, Italy, Spain, Greece, Israel, and UAE. The majority of their traffic comes from green-acres.fr (France) with 1.4 million monthly visits, then green-acres Spain with 360 thousand monthly visits, Portugal 310 thousand, Italy 300 thousand, Greece 200 thousand.

3. Collaborations. Green Acres collaborate with 15 leading property portals to show their real estate clients’ listings throughout Europe, Asia, Australasia, and the US. These include Trovit, Mitula, Housing.com, ThinkofLiving, athome.lu, Realtor.com, Immoregion.fr, iproperty, proptiger, makaan, athome.de, squarefoot, rumah123, and realestate.com.au.

4. Reach and Audience. The brand attracts roughly 2.5 Million visitors monthly from their European websites, and then from their collaborator portals will most likely send a few million more to their clients’ listings.

The brand (for Spain) draws a primarily European audience from their own assets (22% Spain, 18% France, 14% Norway, 7% UK, 6% Italy, 6% Belgium, 6% Netherlands, 5% Germany), while their portal collaborations offer a broader international reach from Asia, Australasia, and North America.

Green-acre’s European audience is primarily in the 45 to 64 age range and seeking retirement homes, holiday homes, or investment properties. The average buyer budget for Spain varies based on location and property type. For properties in popular areas like the Costa Blanca, Costa del Sol, or Balearic Islands, budgets are in the €200,000 to €600,000 range, while luxury property searches in prime locations such as Madrid, Barcelona, or exclusive coastal areas (like Costa Blanca North and Malaga coast) can see buyer budgets exceeding €1 million.

Most of the traffic that their 5 European property portals generate comes from direct sources and referrals, which is a testament to the popularity of the brand in Europe, as well as some traffic from search engines and social networks.

Can Green-acres generate a steady flow of high-value buyer leads for Your real estate agency in Spain? The best match for green acres are real estate agencies focusing on international buyers seeking second homes, retirement properties, or investment opportunities and especially in desirable coastal areas like the Costa Blanca, Costa del Sol, and Balearic Islands, and also the major cities like Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Malaga, and Alicante.

Green-Acres Opinions & Reviews

The platform’s international reach, focus on second homes, and relative affordability make it an attractive option for Spanish agencies wishing to attract buyers from countries like France, Belgium, Germany, and the Netherlands. However, opinions on the effectiveness of Green-Acres vary, with agencies providing both positive and negative feedback based on their experience.

Positive Feedback

Wide International Reach. Green-Acres offers a broad international audience, particularly among European buyers interested in second homes. There seems to be less buyer overlap like you can find on other property portals in Spain. Real estate agencies often successfully connect with foreign buyers, particularly those from France, the UK, Belgium, and the Netherlands through the platform.

Affordability. Compared to larger competitors like Idealista or Rightmove, agencies find Green-Acres to be little more cost-effective, especially for those seeking an International audience. The platform’s pricing structure seems to offer good value for money for smaller agencies or those operating in niche markets.

Targeted Leads. The platform’s focus is clear: second-home buyers (especially vacation homes or investment properties). This helps agents to attract a greater number of serious, higher-value leads. Many agencies comment that most inquiries from Green-Acres come from well-qualified, ready-to-buy international clients.

Easy To Use Multilingual Platform. Green-Acres offers a simple interface for uploading and managing listings that include multilingual options to cater to an international audience, without agencies having to invest in separate marketing efforts for each country.

Negative Feedback

Limited Exposure Compared to Larger Portals. Some agencies mention that the level of traffic and inquiries is lower compared to bigger portals like Idealista or Rightmove. For some agencies (and especially those in niche categories) looking for a larger volume of leads, Green-Acres is seen as a secondary listing tool rather than the main source for lead generation.

Limited Interest in Certain Regions. Agencies working in niche or smaller areas of Spain may find that Green-Acres does not generate the same level of interest as in more established markets like Spain’s Costa Blanca or Costa del Sol. Those focused on smaller, rural areas may experience fewer leads compared to agencies targeting well-known holiday destinations.

Less Data or Helpful Tools. In comparison with some of the larger competitors some agencies may feel that Green-Acres lacks advanced marketing tools and data insights. While the platform is user-friendly, it might not offer the same level of reporting and customization that some real estate agencies in busier Spanish areas need for their marketing strategies.
