CEE Classifieds Is Building a Regional Online Classifieds Portfolio
CEE Classifieds, a Hungarian-owned company, is developing a regional online classifieds portfolio. Its initial investments include property and job-market platforms. The long-term goal of CEE Classifieds is to expand into online solutions that closely complement its starting portfolio and strengthen its position across the digital economy value chain.
CEE Classifieds aims to broaden its online classifieds portfolio with cross-border services. Its initial investments include the real-estate platforms Ingatlanbazár, Otthontérkép, and Ingatlantájoló, and in the job-market vertical the Jobinfo job portal. The company is building a portfolio across three key thematic verticals — real estate, jobs, and mobility. As part of its development plans, CEE Classifieds intends to enhance the value propositions of its platforms with advanced technological components, including add-on services and the use of artificial intelligence.
Platform overview
- Otthontérkép Group – a multi-portal digital real-estate classifieds network (Otthontérkép.hu, Ingatlantájoló.hu, Raktár.info, Irodaház.info, Otthontérkép Magazin, Ingatlanhírek.hu, Ingatlanbazár.hu) covering the entire residential and commercial advertising spectrum.
