Private or professional: what the advertiser type changes
Understand the difference between private and professional advertisers on diaspora.immo, without confusing it with a buyer or seller role.
6 min read · Updated August 2, 2026
On diaspora.immo, the same user account can search, save favorites, and publish. There is no separate “buyer account” versus “seller account”. When someone publishes, however, they present as a private individual or as a professional.
What “private” means
- Often an owner selling or renting their own property.
- More direct contact, sometimes less formal process.
- You still need to verify identity and documents.
What “professional” means
- An agency, developer, or dealer publishing on behalf of a business.
- Display name / trade name often more visible.
- Always ask for the mandate or link to the owner when relevant.
In both cases, read the listing with a method: guide to reading a listing .
And keep the same standards on paperwork: documents to request .
Frequently asked questions
Not automatically. Status changes the context; it does not remove the need for checks.
Yes via the advertiser profile, without changing your platform role (still a standard user account).
