Every property portal structures its pages a little differently.
Because HomeHunter works by reading listing data directly from the sites your clients browse, you might occasionally notice small differences in how listings appear, especially across international markets.
Knowing what to expect helps you guide clients and troubleshoot minor display issues confidently.
What to Expect
1. Varying Listing Details
Some portals display extra fields (e.g., “floor level” or “energy efficiency rating”), while others only include basic info.
- HomeHunter always captures the core details — address, price, beds, baths, and square meters/feet.
- Optional or non-standard data may appear differently depending on the site.
2. Image and Description Differences
- A few portals host their listing photos on external servers, which can affect image previews in the widget.
- Descriptions might appear truncated if the original portal uses long or dynamically loaded text.
3. Multi-Currency and Regional Formatting
- Prices are shown in the local currency of each portal by default.
- When agents view listings from multiple countries, currencies may not automatically convert — this is expected behavior.
4. Duplicate or Similar Listings
- Large aggregator sites sometimes re-post the same listing from multiple sources.
- HomeHunter will group these if possible, but duplicates may appear if URLs differ significantly.
5. Portal Layout Updates
When a property site changes its design or markup, data capture may temporarily miss some fields.
These are automatically detected and patched in the next extension update — no action needed from you.
How to Explain It to Clients
“Different property sites display data in slightly different ways. HomeHunter makes them all consistent enough for us to track your search and favorites, but small differences are normal.”
Remind clients that the goal isn’t to make every site look identical — it’s to centralize their browsing activity.
Pro Tips
- Encourage clients to favorite listings they like — favorites sync more reliably than casual page views.
- If a listing looks incomplete, open it on the original site (link available in the sidebar).
- Use the Generate Market Report button on any listing to enrich sparse data with verified market stats.
- Report persistent quirks to your team lead — the HomeHunter dev team continuously maintains portal compatibility.
Takeaways:
- Minor differences across portals are normal and expected.
- HomeHunter focuses on consistency where it matters most: addresses, prices, and favorites.
- Encourage clients to favorite listings and use reports for deeper insight.
- Compatibility fixes roll out automatically — no manual updates required.
