Questions About House Search

Click on the link in the ad. You will be directed to the provider you can contact. If the provider does not have a website, the contact information is visible.

All providers of houses with more than 20 available listings on Curaçao and Bonaire can be found on CasaSearch. In addition, individual listings are posted so that the offer is almost complete.

Some of the offerings are Premium content. These listings have a limited presentation. Even so, with the information available you can get a good idea of the properties and click through to the broker where the full listing is visible.

The data of all houses is updated automatically every day. If the property is set to "sold" at the real estate agent, it will also be visible at CasaSearch within 24 hours.

It is common for the source/broker to leave listings already sold or rented on their website, so always contact them to ask if the property is actually available.

No, certainly not. Public information, in our opinion, should be freely accessible to everyone. You can use the basic search functionalities of the website without an account . If you create a free Free Account , you can use all search functionalities and create a search for free so you will receive an email when new listings are found.

CasaSeach is not part of a large (real estate) organization such as Funda.nl or Realtor.com and therefore has limited income from listings. In order to provide and continue to develop our website and services, you as a user pay for additional Premium features such as multiple searches and more frequent email notifications.

Premium Search A is sufficient to be able to use all search functions. If you have multiple searches and want to receive new houses daily by email , choose Premium Search C. You can change or cancel your account at any time.

You create an account and can immediately use the Premium features. Payment is fully automatic via your bank or credit card. You will receive confirmation and invoice of your first payment on the start date. Each month your account will be renewed until cancellation. You will receive a monthly email with invoice.

Questions About Placing Houses

CasaSearch has a 100% focus on platform operation and development. CasaSearch is not a real estate agent or booking platform, but an independent house search engine. Our customer (the 'house-hunter') is king. CasaSearch is run by IT professionals in Curaçao and in the Netherlands with 20 years+ experience.

All types of homes can be placed by a business and legitimate representative (broker, intermediary). In addition, the property must actually be located in Curacao or Bonaire .

 

Private providers of a rental property (long-short stay) can offer their rental property directly and without a broker. We recommend always using a real estate agent because of the rental contract, among other things.

 

As a private owner of a For sale, it is not allowed to post a For sale directly and without a broker. This is because for sale properties require a number of legal checks before they may be offered for sale.

All real estate located on Curacao or Bonaire belongs on CasaSearch. Houses and apartments for sale or rent, as well as vacation rentals, student rooms, lots and commercial properties. There is demand mainly from Western Europe, but also the USA, Canada and South America.

On Curaçao and Bonaire , the local marketplaces of Facebook are popular. You only reach a small part of the house hunters in, for example, the Netherlands. Targeted searching on social media is difficult and not suitable for house hunters. Our advice is to do both. Use your socials to boost your listing with all the detailed information on your own website or CasaSearch .

Yes you can, however our advice is to create your own website for your vacation home where you can receive your own bookings directly. This saves you booking fees with the major booking platforms and offers more opportunities to tell something about your vacation home. Guests who book this way are more likely to book directly again next time, without booking platform fees.

CasaSearch is a search engine without intervention with providers and interested parties. This means that we prefer to redirect home seekers to the provider's website.

If you do not have a website, your phone number and/or email address will be placed with your listing 's provider information.

All Premium Listing accounts have a full listing with additional photos, full description and management dashboard.

Premium A is suitable for 1 home, with Premium B you can manually post and track up to 20 homes. Premium C and D are suitable for real estate agents with more than 20 homes that we automatically keep up-2-dated through a data feed or scraper.

A Premium Search account is also included for all Listing accounts, allowing you to use all the functionality of the website and possibly create a search with email notification. Please feel free to contact us if you would like more information.

You create an account and can immediately post your listings . Payment is fully automatic via your bank or credit card.
