For two decades, people, developers, and agencies in Belarus have chosen Realt.by to conduct real estate transactions. Beginning as an ordinary classifieds board on November 25, 2005, the platform has evolved into a comprehensive ecosystem that influences the country's real estate market. In honor of this anniversary, we will explore how the platform has changed over the last 20 years, the new services introduced recently, and what the future holds for its users.

The Scale That Continues to Grow

Let's start with the scale. Over the past two decades, 1.2 million users have registered on the platform. These active users not only visit the site, but also post listings, purchase services, and search for information. Nearly 4 million listings have been posted on Realt.by throughout its history.

Every month, more than 2 million unique users visit the platform (across both the web and mobile versions). This is a record for the Belarusian real estate market. Around 100,000 people actively use the mobile app each month.

45 Thousand Articles and 80 Thousand Kilometers Across the Country

Realt is more than just a classifieds platform. For over two decades, the team has compiled extensive knowledge about the market, its people, and apartment life, publishing over 45,000 articles.

The team behind the YouTube channel has traveled 80,000 kilometers across Belarus over four years to showcase life in Minsk, Vitebsk, Gomel, and other cities.

New Realt.by Services: How the Platform Makes Transactions More Convenient

Realt.Assessment

The free online property valuation service is simple to use. Just enter the apartment parameters and receive two valuations. The first valuation is based on completed transactions from the National Cadastre Agency database. The second valuation is based on current listings from Realt.by. This allows users to see the price range, including both past and current prices. Initially launched in Minsk, the service has recently become available in regional centers.

It helps people objectively assess their property's value and determine whether to sell at the current market price or wait for a better opportunity.

Realt.Transaction

This new service streamlines the process of buying and selling real estate. The process includes several stages.

  1. First, a specialist is selected. Realt finds a verified realtor who is familiar with the specifics of the property.
  2. Valuation based on real data, not an arbitrary estimate, but based on completed transactions and current listings on Realt.
  3. Professional photos and description: not generic phrases, but effective text that attracts buyers.
  4. The listing is shown to people specifically searching for such properties, resulting in 10–12 times more views.
  5. An experienced support specialist handles negotiations, organizes viewings, and assists with documentation.

This approach saves people time and money while helping them avoid mistakes when finding a reliable agent.

Realt.Reservation

This short- and long-term rental service operates according to European standards, offering live moderation, secure payments, and prompt support.

It will be available to landlords starting November 3, 2025. For tenants, it will launch on December 1, 2025.

The concept is straightforward: browse properties, reserve one for your desired dates, and make the payment. There is no need to call acquaintances or visit agency offices. Realt.by aims to make the rental market as transparent and reliable as the buying and selling market.

Plans for the Future: "My Home" Service and Work with Professionals

Looking ahead, the team plans to develop the "My Home" service, which will be a personal account where apartment owners can view their property's value history and track its appreciation or depreciation. The service will offer proposals for apartment-related services, such as repairs, cleaning, and deliveries; communication with neighbors; and the ability to exchange experiences. The service will be free and available to a wide audience.

Meanwhile, Realt will continue to develop tools for lead generation, analytics, and marketing support for agencies and developers. This is the team's strategic plan for the coming years.

Why People Choose Realt: Awards and Recognition

For over 20 years, the platform has earned recognition confirmed by its audience: "Premiya No. 1," "TOP BRAND," and “Narodnaya Marka" (based on user voting). People choose Realt with their hearts, which is the most significant form of recognition.

Virtually the entire real estate agency market in Belarus, as well as all major developers and development projects, works with the platform. Realt.by has become an integral part of the real estate market.

From a Local Market to an International Presence

The international platform Realting.com, created by the founders of Realt.by, Alexander and Dmitry Martynenko, already covers 300,000 properties in over 90 countries. If Realt.by is the leader in Belarus, then Realting.com is the number one platform in the foreign real estate sector.

Our platform is actively expanding into neighboring markets as well: in 2023, the Realting.uz project was launched, specializing in Uzbekistan real estate, and within 2–3 months, it became the leader in the number of listings from developers and realtors in that market. REALTING also has representative offices in Montenegro and Poland.
