idealista es el principal punto de encuentro para todas aquellas personas que buscan una vivienda (o local, edificio...) ya sea en compra o en alquiler, y aquellas personas que las ofertan. Llevamos desde el año 2000 ayudando a todos nuestros usuari@s a superar la ansiedad y la frustración que supone encontrar un hogar.
Tenemos una actitud de innovación constante y nunca bajamos la guardia: Somos data driven y trabajamos para ofrecer la información más completa y actualizada a nuestros usuari@s en el dispositivo que ellos elijan (smartphones, tablets, ordenadores e incluso en los relojes inteligentes).
Hemos sumado a nuestro proyecto nuevos servicios: idealista/hipotecas, idealista/tools, idealista/news, idealista/data, idealista/seguros, Rentalia, Yaencontré, Rentger, Avaibook, Casa.it, Gestim y Miogest, que hacen que idealista sea el mejor aliado para todos los interesados en el sector inmobiliario. De hecho, nuestros números no han parado de crecer en estos 20 años y actualmente tenemos presencia en 3 países, usuarios de todo el mundo y más de 200 millones de visitas al mes, generando el mayor tráfico en inmobiliario de Europa.
En idealista no creemos en las estructuras ni en los organigramas que contemplan a las personas como "cajitas". Apostamos por la integración de los equipos en grupos diversos, fuertemente cohesionados e interrelacionados, basados en la responsabilidad y en el trabajo en equipo.
En estos momentos tenemos oficinas en tres países europeos: España (Madrid, Barcelona y Málaga), Italia (Milán) y Portugal (Lisboa), aunque contamos idealistas en muchísimos otros puntos de estos países.
