Discovering Real Estate Property in Europe with Properazzi.com

You don't need a savvy real estate investor to tell you that a property in Europe can be a valuable investment. Property values in Europe experience many fluctuations, but narrowing down your perfect doesn't have to be difficult with the tools on the Internet-you don't have to jet off to Paris or London this year to find your dream second home. Properazzi.com is a fresh new Google mashup tool that can help you track down a property anywhere across Europe. The site plans to unveil the latest at a European tech conference in May 2007, but has created a strong following since its launch in early 2007.

The site is free to use, and doesn't even take a kickback on any listings. It's simply a reference tool, and works by collecting website listings that have already been published on the web, and organizing them in an attractive format. Basically, it's an aggregator of European real estate property listings. Just choose acountry or destination, and browse away. Properazzi is currently home to over 18 million sale and rental properties spanning 45 countries in Europe. It's probably one of the biggest portal for European markets available, and will continue to grow with its user-submission and listing services.

One valuable segment of Properazzi.com--besides the easy zoom in features to Germany, Munich, Rome, and more--is the ability to narrow down by price. Just like most Google Base search format, this one lets you sort listings within a price range and display results. And yes, pictures of that villa in Venice are included. Not cutting back on innovation, the site also offers a mobile phone integration. WidSets launched by Nokia give all Properazzi users the ability to keep track of selected listings through RSS feeds, delivered conveniently to the cell phone on a regular basis. Setup takes just a few minutes; enter the filter information, and you'll start receiving SMS messages each time a new property shows on the market.
