The monetization model for real estate websites is usually a combination of these methods: Bumping up offers, or the opportunity for users to have their announcement on top of others for a fixed amount of time; Selling ads space, i.e. banner spots; Selling premium content, such as articles, tips, or webinars related to the real estate business; Premium plans, which offer users access to premium features like advanced stats or priority publication; Commissions—the commission for using as a secure platform for payments, in case the website suggests payments processing. However, most websites for long-term rent or home buying do not imply paying on the website. They will more likely redirect to the agent’s website instead, so we do not recommend you rely heavily on this model. On the contrary, short-term rental websites allow payment processing very often.
