Fotocasa, your real estate portal

With the new Fotocasa application for Windows 8 you will no longer have to carry out thousands of searches in different places to find a flat. The leading real estate portal in Spain offers you a solution among which you will find more than a million properties for sale or rent, as well as the possibility of directly accessing the last search you did

As soon as we open the application, we will be shown the map of Spain, where we can choose in which part of the country we are looking for a propertyIn case what we really want is to publish an announcement, we have the two upper options to publish it or access the management area, although both will take us to IE10 Modern UI, since they cannot be done from the application itself.

By clicking on the city we want, a form will be displayed to filter the search results, like the following, and it will show us the properties that match our criteria:

From here, we can order the properties according to their price, date of publication of the ad, surface area or number of rooms, in addition to changing the filter chosen in the previous step.

When choosing a property, we can see in detail the information that the advertiser has provided about it: the photo gallery, its description, all the characteristics or the exact location.

By means of a contact form, we can communicate with the advertiser quickly, to be able to ask our questions or show interest in the ad.

In addition, the lower menu gives us the option to notify the advertiser that we want them to call us, schedule a notice for when the property changes in price or see the photo gallery.

Segundamano, the leading free ads website in Spain

Segundamano brings us its application to Windows 8 in the purest Modern UI style, from which we can navigate among all the offers available in their website, contact the seller, review the characteristics of a product, or even sell one ourselves. The only drawback that the application presents is that when we place an ad, we are redirected to the browser that we are using by default, although it is not a big problem because the functionality does not give an error.

As we can see in the following image, this application and the Fotocasa application have similarities, both adopting a fairly good design that allows you to navigate between the available options in a very intuitive way. We can filter the results according to category, if you sell or buy something, keywords and location of the seller:

When viewing the description sheet of a product that we have selected, we will notice that here the emphasis is also placed on showing the images that the seller has uploaded with priority over the rest. In addition, we have a contact form that greatly facilitates communication with the seller, a description of the product and data on the location of the seller.

Coches.net, the leading motor portal in Spain

If you are looking for vehicle offers, the Coches.net application will cover all your needs thanks to its precise search filter, which will allow you to refine your selection down to the smallest detail, to quickly find what What are you looking for.

The main view of the application is the one you have in the previous image, although it shows the open results filter box. The list of vehicles is presented in a similar way to how the products are presented in the Segundamano and Fotocasa applications.

The file for each vehicle is like the one you see below, with images and a technical file on it, the contact form with the advertiser, additional comments, and information from the seller.
