Property sellers advertise on property-net-spain.com because it is low priced, sends high-quality enquiries directly to them only, they get a link to their webpage from every property page, they can quickly import sales and/or rentals from other portals or their own site, and they can improve and export their portfolio to other portals or indeed any consenting website. And all property listings are geolocated via georss or kml so they appear in search results on Google maps.
