    • Priority will be given to the advertisements most fully completed by the Client (property description, number and quality of photos, date of ad publication or price update, etc.) and to the most recently published advertisements.
  2. In the event that the user does not use the search/preference criteria listed on the Immoweb platform, the order in which the ads are displayed in the results list and the possible priority of the Customer's ad over all other ads displayed on the Site will be determined according to the following criteria.
    The following order of priority will be applied automatically
    • The subscription formula chosen by the Customer: this determines the positioning of the Customer's ad in the search results and the possible priority of the display of the Customer's ad compared to all the ads displayed on the Site;
    • Ads are classified according to their completeness, with priority given to the most complete ad (property description, number and quality of photos, date of ad publication or price update, etc.) and to the most recently published advertisements
    • The Customer can further influence the position of the ads in the list of results displayed to the user by subscribing to visibility and display advertising products.

Ranking of professionals

In accordance with our website's functionality, the listings of real estate agencies and other professionals on the "Professionals" page are initially categorized based on the number of property listings each professional has. This classification is designed to provide users with an immediate overview of the most active professionals on our platform. However, we acknowledge the importance of varied search preferences and offer the option to reorganize these listings. Users have the flexibility to sort the professionals in alphabetical order by the agency name if they prefer.
