Real Estate Agents and Property Portals in Budapest

The portal almost every Budapest search starts on, operated by Ingatlan.com Zrt. and described by the competition authority as one of the largest domestic property advertising portals.

Good to know: Listing text is written in Hungarian, so use a browser translator and learn a handful of words (kiado, elado, berleti dij, kaucio, kozos koltseg). Private advertisers can buy credit-based promotion to rank higher, the system the competition authority examined and cleared in 2023, so position in the results is not a quality signal. The site is bot-protected and returned a verification wall on every request during this check in August 2026, so its own pricing pages could not be read; expect the same screen behind some VPNs.

Online since 2004 and the one big Hungarian rental portal with a full English version at en.alberlet.hu, including a Buda and Pest district picker.

Good to know: Owner ad prices are gross and shown per package rather than per month; the same company also runs a paid letting service that screens applicants for landlords, so some listings you see are its own mandates rather than direct-from-owner ads.

Published by Mapsolutions Zrt. from Hold utca in the V. district, this is the map-first alternative to the big portal, with free ad posting for private sellers and landlords and iOS and Android apps.

Good to know: Its imprint routes sales and billing to the sister portal Ingatlantajolo.hu, so the same ad often turns up on both. The Fix 3% filter marks ads that, in the site's own words, may match the state-backed fixed 3 percent Otthon Start loan programme; it has nothing to do with agency commission.

Boutique agency near Parliament working in English, Hungarian and German, which says it has handled more than 1,000 property transactions since 2009 and specialises in downtown and luxury stock for international clients.

Good to know: Office open Monday to Friday 9:00 to 17:00 or by appointment, with a second line on +36 30 242 6726. Its own expat guide states that agent fees in Hungary are paid by landlords and that agency service is therefore free for tenants, and that deposits run two to three months (three if you bring pets). Fees for landlords and buyers are quote-based, so ask for the mandate terms in writing. Note that the URL mhomes.hu/en/ with a trailing slash returns a not-found page; use mhomes.hu/en.

The landlord-side heavyweight for foreign owners, claiming 15-plus years and more than 800 managed investment properties, with a nine-language site and a Saturday-open letting office at Jaszai Mari ter.

Good to know: Three offices: letting and sales at Pozsonyi ut 1 by Jaszai Mari ter (Monday to Friday 9:30 to 18:00, Saturday 10:00 to 16:00), property management at Visegradi utca 19 on +36 1 354 0980, and a luxury desk trading as Eurocenter at Nador utca 19 in the V. district. Advertised rents assume a minimum 12 month contract and the euro figures are indicative only; commission levels are quoted case by case.

Jewish quarter agency covering rentals, sales, management and renovation, whose site states that the team speaks Hungarian, English, Hebrew, Russian, German, Serbian, Arabic and French.

Good to know: It runs separate Hungarian and English phone lines (the English one is +36 30 446 9373, the Hungarian one +36 30 227 4402, with +36 70 596 3558 for special enquiries) and publishes no commission rates, so agree the fee and who pays it before any viewing.

English-first downtown agency a minute from Vaci utca, part of the A1 Group, publishing neighbourhood guides aimed at foreign buyers and running an investment management arm called ThreeSixty.

Good to know: Its listings and services cover buying, selling, management and renovation, not lettings, so look elsewhere if you are renting. The site publishes two different landlines (+36 1 200 2580 in the footer and +36 1 221 1000 on the contact page) alongside the mobile listed here, and gives no commission rate, so confirm the number that works and the fee model in the mandate.

One-person agency run by Szilvia Vili, working in downtown Budapest since 2004 with international buyers and sellers and, unusually for the city, publishing its whole sale-side fee schedule: 4 percent to sell, 2 percent to act as your buyer's agent.

Good to know: It handles sales and purchases only. Its own pages state that it does not do lettings or property management and refers those out, so the one-month finder's fee and 10 percent management fee quoted in its FAQ describe what other Budapest firms charge, not what it charges. No walk-in office, so everything runs by appointment. The FAQ also states that non-EU buyers need a government office permit costing about EUR 300 including related legal fees, that at least a 10 percent deposit is paid at signature, that the lawyer's fee for the contract is 1 percent, and that the in-house legal referral is to the agent's husband, which the site discloses openly.

A buyer-side consultancy paid by flat fee rather than commission, aimed at foreigners buying in the V., VI. and VII. districts who want someone with no stake in closing the deal.

Good to know: Booking is through the site's own calendar and email, with no published office address or phone. The fee sits on top of the lawyer's costs and, for non-EU buyers, the acquisition permit, and replaces neither.

The best known Hungarian agency brand, with an English version of the site at dh.hu/en, a database its own English page puts at over 25,000 properties (citing Realmonitor, 2022) and an in-house mortgage arm.

Good to know: It is a franchise, so service quality and English depend on the individual office and agent rather than the brand. Parts of the search interface stay in Hungarian even on the English site. The head office is at Kapas utca 6-12 in the II. district; use the office finder on dh.hu to pick a branch.

Describes itself as the Hungarian brokerage network with the most offices, close to 180 of them and around 1,500 agents, and runs a genuine English search site at property.hu, which is rare among the big local chains.

Good to know: Its own about page states that the group has been majority-owned by MBH Bank since January 2026. The Felezocsomag (half package) prices the seller's success fee at a maximum of 2.5 percent plus VAT by building the buyer's share into the advertised price, and requires a fixed-term exclusive mandate of 6 to 12 months; the standard non-exclusive fee is not published.

The OTP Group's brokerage arm, set up in 2011, with a nationwide network of more than 800 staff and mortgage advice built into the same appointment, which suits buyers who need Hungarian financing.

Good to know: The site contradicts itself on size: the about page says more than 90 offices nationwide while the contact page says close to 80, so treat either figure as approximate and use the office finder. The website is Hungarian only and no English-language service is advertised, so ask whether an English-speaking adviser is available before you book. The head office sits inside the OTP campus on Vaci ut in the XIII. district rather than in a shopfront.

The Hungarian arm of the German premium network, on the Buda bank next to Batthyany ter, with a full English site and cross-border exposure for higher-end sales and lettings.

Good to know: Positioned at the premium end. Its Budapest rental search returned 38 listings in August 2026, led by the I. district and with monthly rents starting around HUF 390,000, so this is not where the mid-market stock sits. Fees are quote-based and not published on the site.
