L 68

Estate agents, property managers and real estate firms in Belgium

Estate agencies, syndics and land agents, developers and letting companies: for vendors of software, energy performance certificates, cleaning and maintenance who want to write to agencies per province or use syndics as a gateway to apartment buildings.

Our Belgian database holds 779,149 records (as of 5 November 2026); they are not yet assigned to industries. The quote states the size available for this industry.

Export of the whole industry: €429 (excluding VAT). Selections by province, municipality or your own filters are quoted on request.

Official statistics: 55,586 businesses in Belgium according to Eurostat, Structural Business Statistics (sbs_ovw_act), number of enterprises (reference year 2024, Eurostat update of 30 September 2026, retrieved on 4 November 2026). Section L real estate activities (division 68): agents, property management and letting of own property. This is the size of the market, not the size of our database.

What counts as Real estate and property managers

Real estate is section L of NACE-BEL 2008 with a single division, 68. It contains the agents and property managers who work for others as well as companies that buy, sell or let their own property.

That last part is large in Belgium: many buildings sit in a property holding company without an office or website. For a campaign aimed at service providers, ask for estate agents and syndics only (in the statistics, 68.31 and 68.32); we select them by category and name in the source, as our records do not yet carry a NACE-BEL code.

Licensed agents and syndics: a register to check a professional, not an address file

Estate agents and syndics have a professional register. It is meant for checking one practitioner, not for collecting addresses.

BIV/IPI
Estate agents and syndics are registered with the Professional Institute of Real Estate Agents (BIV/IPI), which keeps its own list. We do not use that list as a source.
CBE (KBO)
Every agency has an enterprise number and each branch an establishment unit number. The KBO Public Search shows one business at a time. KBO Open Data requires registration, so we do not use the CBE as a source.
Agents in their own name
An agent or syndic working as a natural person is self-employed. Their details are personal data; email then requires consent, even to a general address.

Not in the export

  • BIV/IPI number and date of approval
  • number of buildings managed or portfolio
  • name of the agent or syndic
  • properties for sale or to let
  • number of employees and turnover

These 14 columns are included.

Office, network or company: selecting correctly

Large estate agency networks work with independent offices under one brand. Each office is a separate record in the database with its own address; the network’s name often appears in the company name. If you only want the head office, say so in your request.

Syndics manage the common parts of apartment buildings. If you sell services for such buildings, such as lift maintenance or renovation, the syndic gives you access to many buildings at once. Choose 68.32 and ask for the website as a required field.

For email without consent only impersonal addresses of legal entities qualify, with an offer intended for legal entities (Royal Decree of 4 April 2003); for calls, check the numbers against the Do Not Call Me list beforehand.

Example request

Questions

Real estate and property managers: frequently asked questions

Yes, on request, based on the category and the name in the source (in the statistics, class 68.32). Our records do not yet carry a NACE-BEL code; before quoting we tell you how reliable this selection is.

No, not as a separate target group. An association of co-owners is represented by a syndic; for a campaign aimed at apartment buildings the syndic is the point of contact.

Because the section also counts companies that merely own or let their own property. With the website as a required field and a selection by category and name in the source (estate agent, syndic) you are left mainly with service providers; our records do not yet carry a NACE-BEL code.
