How Do You Post a Real Estate Listing for Free?
Last updated: 22 July 2026
Everyone searching for “free listings” hits the same wall: rights are limited, rules keep changing, and the so-called “tricks” are risky. This page won't tell you fairy tales — it says plainly what is genuinely free and what isn't.
No portal names, prices or rule details on this page — those change often. We explain the logic that doesn't.
How do portals' “free rights” work?
The logic is usually this: individuals get a limited number of free listings, in certain categories, for a limited time. When the period ends the listing goes offline; the next one is usually paid. Real estate is among the categories where free rights are narrowest.
The only reliable answer to “how many rights do I have and for how long?” is your own portal's help page — rules vary by portal and period. The one thing to take away: those rights are designed to run out; they are not a permanent solution.
An honest answer for the “trick” seekers
Over a thousand people a month search for a “free listing trick”. The usual suggestions: opening a second account, filing the listing under another category, deleting and re-uploading expired ones. All of these violate platform terms — your listing gets removed, your account can be closed; if you're an agent, add the reputation damage.
In short: there is no trick, there is risk. The honest way to publish for free is to use a platform where listing genuinely costs nothing.
The genuinely free way: live in 4 steps
On tamkonum individual listings are free; if you're an agent, the Starter plan is free up to 5 active listings. Here's how it works:
Download the app — tamkonum is free on iOS and Android. You open your account with your phone number.
Verify with e-Government — For your own property, e-Government verification is enough; your listing gets the “verified” badge. This step also fulfils the legal requirement (EİDS).
Film your video, narrate — Walk through the home and talk: rooms, square metres, balcony… AI fills in the listing details from your narration — no forms to fight.
Publish with the location seal — The location is GPS-sealed on site and your listing goes live. No payment step; no card details asked.
Same rule on free platforms too: EİDS
An honest note: the authorisation certificate and Listing Publication Permit (EİDS) requirement applies on every platform — free ones included. For your own property, e-Government verification is enough; listing on someone else's behalf requires authorisation. Details: EİDS and social-media listings guide

Frequently Asked Questions
Where do I find out if I have free listing rights?
On your own portal's help/pricing page — rules vary by portal, category and period, and third-party info goes stale fast. On tamkonum the question doesn't arise: individual listings are free.
What happens when a free listing expires?
On portals, a timed free listing goes offline; continuing is usually paid. On tamkonum there is no such timer for your individual listing — limits are defined by active listing count, not by buying airtime.
Do “free listing tricks” actually work?
No. Second accounts, category switching, delete-and-reupload — all violate the terms of use and can end with your listing removed and your account closed. The honest way is a platform where listing is genuinely free.
Which is the best free listing site?
“Best” depends on your needs; for real estate three things matter most: legal compliance (EİDS), buyer trust (verification) and a real stage for your listing. tamkonum offers all three in the free tier: e-Government verification, the GPS location seal and a video-first feed.
I'm an agent — can I list for free?
Yes: the Agent Starter plan is free up to 5 active listings, live streaming included. If your portfolio grows there are paid plans with open pricing — you can see the live table in the sister guide.
Any hidden fees on tamkonum? Will it ask for money later?
Individual listings and Agent Starter are free; there is no payment step or card entry when publishing. For bigger portfolios, paid plan prices aren't hidden — they're published openly on the site.
Is EİDS required on a free platform?
Yes — the EİDS requirement is about law, not fees; it applies on every platform. For your own property, e-Government verification is enough. tamkonum builds the verification into the flow, so there's nothing extra to chase.
Should I list with photos or video?
tamkonum works video-first: your walkthrough video both shows buyers the real home and lets AI fill in the listing details automatically. No professional gear needed — a phone is enough.
