The Real Estate Database (RED) is the largest database in Uganda that interlinks several real estate websites in order to create a pool of 1000s of properties in one place, the RED also distributes all the collected properties to several other listing websites/portals as shown in the image below. 

 

Numbers 1 to 13 represents a cross section of several top websites that are linked to the Real Estate Database (RED).

Number 14 represents the direct feed that automatically links all participating real estate websites to the RED.

Number 15 represents a direct feed that automatically distributes properties in the RED to other real estate listing websites and portals within the official distribution network, such portals including the following: (16) Lamudi, (18) Mobo Free, (19) Super Price, (20) Kupatana, (21) Property Map, plus the Real Estate Database portal and many others.

The basic objective of the Real Estate Database (RED) is to build a network of real estate websites in Uganda so as to create the largest pool of 1000s of properties in one place, and also to distribute the same properties to as many portals as possible in order to increase sales.

All real estate agents and developers are invited to register and link their websites to the Real Estate Database at: www.RealEstateDatabase.net, There are several reasons why every agent needs to join the Real Estate Database, however on of the key reasons is that when you join the RED then your properties will be redistributed to a wider online market.

NB: if an agent does not have a website then he gets one free of charge when he/she joins the RED network.
