Is KipperTree Free?

What is KipperTree and is it really free?

Yes, it is. 

It is a totally free way to sell your home or advertise your rental property or business. The site is funded by sponsorship allowing us to offer you a totally free service.

So welcome to KipperTree, the newest property portal in Portugal that specifically targets foreign buyers, serious buyers looking to invest their money into the Portuguese property market. Our unique website utilises the latest SEO technology to target all of the countries where people are searching for Portuguese property, including the whole of Europe, China, America, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. We are investing heavily over the next five years to ensure that KipperTree becomes the number one free portal for property buyers and sellers in Portugal.

So how does it work and why should I use it?

The process is quite simple, register a free account on our website, upload your photographs and text and we will do the rest. Your advert will appear on our site and will be distributed to all global social media platforms. Buyers are able to contact you directly via private message to arrange viewings. It’s as easy as adding them to Facebook, but with the security and knowledge that this is an investment-backed, professional property portal that specifically targets foreign buyers. Just the type of buyers you are looking for!

Why would people look at KipperTree?

Our investment has not only been spent on a great website that is easy to use, but also in the SEO behind it. SEO is an acronym that stands for search engine optimisation, which is the process of optimising your website to get organic, or unpaid, traffic from the search engine results page. Investing in SEO is how you create traffic to your site, and we are using SEO specialists from around the globe to deliver high volumes of traffic to the site. So, not only are we attracting a high volume of traffic but the right type of traffic that will ultimately result in viewings of your property.

What are the advantages of self-selling through KipperTree?

Well, they’re numerous. You have control of the sale of your home and full control over how you market it. You decide on the text and pictures you will use to make your home stand out from the crowd. (Read through any poor-quality agents’ website and see how many times the same text appears.) You also set the price and have control over when and how you change it if at all you do. You can also set various means of contact to ensure your house sale is always open and view how many people have viewed your advert. You need every enquiry acting upon and being closed for one day could lose you a sale. (There is nothing more frustrating for a buyer than not being able to get information when they need it and as most property portals are viewed on a Sunday or in the evening it seems crazy that agent’s offices are closed.) You decide when viewings happen and by selling your house yourself you have at least an extra 4% to ensure you can offer a better deal when the buyer is looking to make an offer.

There is no contract, no need to submit paperwork, no agent and certainly no commission when you sell your house. Not now, not ever.

So, how much does it cost to advertise on KipperTree?

The service is FREE; however, you do have the flexibility to add to your free package with various upgrades within the site should you wish to boost your advert.

The KipperTree site contains directories of companies: constructors, solicitors, banks, surveyors, insurance companies, real estate agents and of course self-sellers. Everything a potential buyer needs to make the move to Portugal or its associated islands.

As a totally free way to advertise, you can see why self-sellers and agents are turning to KipperTree to sell their Portuguese homes and why KipperTree is destined to become the largest free Property Portal in Portugal.

What's with the name?

The KipperTree name was devised due to the owners two favourite things about Portugal.

The Olive Tree and the Herring, or Sardine as it’s commonly known here.

Innovative fish producers are now smoking Sardines to make the iconic British kipper appeal to more countries, creating something new in the marketplace, the Sardine Kipper.

As someone wanting to change the current market perception on how houses are sold in Portugal the owner decided on KipperTree as the site’s name and as they say, the rest is history.

Anyway, enough about kippers, we will leave you to make up your own mind regarding what makes the most sense when selling or buying a house in Portugal...
