I got tired of checking agency websites one by one, so I built a search engine over 2000 Belgian agency sites
I was spending hours every day looking for my next home.
The frustrating part was that the listings I actually cared about often appeared on an agency's own website days before they showed up on the big portals. Some never made it there at all.
My friends were running into the same problem, and I eventually found myself subscribed to newsletters from ~20 different agencies.
So I built Okoti.be. It pulls listings directly from the websites of Belgian real estate agencies and puts them in one search.
Where it stands today:
- 2000 agency websites indexed across Belgium
- Filters on price, bedrooms, living area, property type, new-build in/out
When you find something you like, you go directly to the agency's own listing. Okoti doesn't sit between you and the agent.
It's completely free.
What is coming:
- Free listings for private sellers. If you've sold or plan to sell your house, I would be happy to hear your thoughts.
- Free alerts
The platform still has some limitations: no price history yet, duplicates when two agencies list the same property, coverage not yet at 100%.
I'm deliberately keeping the number of features low for now. I want to get the core search experience right first.
I'm actively looking for valuable feedback. In particular:
- What makes you trust / not trust the results?
- What filters are you missing?
- What's confusing or annoying?
- Does this actually save you time?
- What data would help you make your final decision?
I built this because I had the problem myself, so I'm happy to spend the night fixing whatever you manage to break.
Brutal feedback welcome. Let's make a banger app!
