ChatGPT can help by regularly searching multiple sources, filtering results according to your criteria, and summarising only the listings that match your preferences.

Step 1. Define Your Search Criteria

Before you begin, make a list of your requirements.

Location

For example:

• Zagreb

• Split

• Rijeka

• specific neighbourhoods (e.g. Trešnjevka, Maksimir, Jarun)

Budget

Example:

• up to €900 per month

Size

Example:

• at least 55 m²

• at least two bedrooms

Property Type

Example:

• apartment

• house

• studio apartment

Must-Have Features

Examples:

• balcony

• parking space

• pet-friendly

• air conditioning

• elevator

• new-build property

• furnished apartment

Nice-to-Have Features

Examples:

• terrace

• sea view

• close to public transport

• storage room

• fibre-optic internet

Step 2. Create Your Initial Prompt

Example:

Search all available real estate websites in Croatia and find new apartment rental listings in Zagreb.

Criteria:

- maximum rent: €900 per month

- minimum size: 55 m²

- two or more bedrooms

- balcony

- parking space

- air conditioning

- neighbourhoods: Jarun, Trešnjevka, Knežija, and Voltino

Show only listings published within the last 24 hours.

For each listing, include:

- title

- price

- floor area

- location

- link

- short summary.

Step 3. Use ChatGPT Automations

One of ChatGPT's biggest advantages is automation.

You can ask it to:

• search every hour

• search every morning

• monitor new listings throughout the day

• notify you only when a property matching your criteria becomes available.

Example requests:

Every morning at 8:00 AM, check for new rental listings.

or

Notify me as soon as a new listing matching my criteria is published.

Step 4. Search Multiple Sources

To maximise your chances of finding the right property, ask ChatGPT to search across multiple sources.

For example:

• major real estate portals

• real estate agency websites

• local property websites

• property developer websites

• Facebook Marketplace (where available)

• other publicly available sources.

This saves you from manually checking every website yourself.

Step 5. Compare Properties

Once you've found several interesting listings, ChatGPT can compare them for you.

Example:

Compare these five listings based on:

- price per square metre

- distance from the city centre

- property condition and features

- parking availability

- energy rating

- advantages and disadvantages.

Step 6. Remove Duplicate Listings

The same property is often advertised on multiple websites.

Simply ask:

Remove duplicate listings and show only unique properties.

This gives you a much cleaner overview of the available options.

Step 7. Track Price Changes

If you're interested in a specific property, ChatGPT can monitor:

• price changes

• updated photos

• description changes

• listing status.

Example:

Notify me if the price of this property drops by more than 5%.

Step 8. Receive a Daily Summary

If you don't want a notification every time a new listing appears, you can request a daily summary instead.

Example:

Every day at 7:00 PM, send me a summary of all new rental listings that match my criteria.

The summary can include:

• the number of new listings

• the most interesting properties

• the average asking price

• newly available neighbourhoods within your budget.

Example of a Complete Prompt

Every hour, search for new apartment rental listings in Croatia.

I'm looking for:

- Zagreb

- Trešnjevka, Jarun, Knežija, or Voltino

- maximum rent of €900 per month

- minimum size of 55 m²

- two bedrooms

- balcony

- parking space

- air conditioning

- furnished apartment

Remove duplicate listings across different websites.

Notify me only when you find a new property that matches all of my criteria.

For each listing, include:

- title

- price

- floor area

- location

- publication date

- source website

- link.

Tip

The best approach is to define your search criteria once and then let ChatGPT automate the process of monitoring new listings. Instead of checking multiple property websites every day, you'll be notified as soon as a property matching your requirements becomes available.
