Why ZonaVenta exists
This isn't a marketing line. It's seven concrete decisions and, where possible, each one links to the actual thing so you can check it yourself before taking our word for it.
With Free you can keep up to 2 active listings at no cost. If you manage more inventory, you can choose a plan with more capacity and extra tools. Every plan shows its limits and price before you subscribe.
Every listing keeps its price history and shows it publicly. If something dropped from US$200,000 to US$185,000, you'll see it with the date.
See how a listing's price has changed and when it was updated.
In the default order, paid listings (on a plan or with a Boost) come first and take turns among themselves every few minutes: none of them has a bought first place, and whichever one already appeared on top in suggestions gives way to another. The ones with a Boost are labelled Featured.
And the moment you choose an order, that order is respected exactly as chosen. A list that says "price: low to high" while actually sorted by who paid is a lie.
Type or say "2-bedroom apartment in Piantini with parking that accepts pets, up to US$1,500" and we take you straight to that filtered search.
Check the address bar when you get there: it's a normal URL with the filters applied. You can change it, save it, and send it to anyone.
The page learns from what you view and suggests based on that. Your recent history is saved in this browser and you can clear it whenever you like. To build the suggestions, your browser sends us that list and we use it on the spot, without saving it in a profile of you.
You can clear it with one click, at the bottom of any page where it appears. The other data we handle (account, listings, messages) is explained in the privacy policy.
When it expires it stops being visible. We keep it with its photos for 60 days on Gratis and 12 months on a paid plan, and if you renew within that time it comes back as it was and moves to the top. When it is about to expire we let you know through the notifications you have turned on in your account.
Your balances and credits stay listed in your account when a plan expires, and your wallet shows which ones have an expiry date.
Your wallet keeps what you topped up, older balances and credit apart, and before charging you we show which one is used. That way you know what is spent on each purchase.
Every transaction is logged with its date and the balance left afterward. If something doesn't add up, it's checked against that record.
Complete listings take part in a front page that rotates. Paid plans get higher priority, without guaranteeing a number of visits or sales.
La Vitrina is the block at the top of each category, and it is not a fixed ranking. The selection is renewed every few minutes and 8 listings show per category each round. Listings that meet the requirement enter the draw; entering does not guarantee appearing.
Each listing has a weight in the draw according to its plan, a Boost multiplies that weight while it lasts, and your plan decides how many of yours can show at once.
| Plan | Your listings on the front page at once | Weight in each round | In priority hours |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gratis | 1 listing | 11% | 9% |
| Plus | up to 2 listings | 22%×2.0 vs. Free | 20%×2.2 |
| Pro | up to 3 listings | 29%×2.6 vs. Free | 30%×3.3 |
| Negocios | up to 4 listings | 38%×3.5 vs. Free | 42%×4.7 |
That percentage is the weight of the tickets, not a guaranteed slot or a visit count: it is the split when one listing per plan competes, with the same quality. How many compete that day changes everything, and nobody controls that. Being free does not keep a listing out of the draw, but taking part does not guarantee appearing.
Configured priority hours. The rotation has a schedule in which paid plans weigh more: 12 to 2 pm and 7 to 11 pm, and on Sundays 9 am to 2 pm and 7 to 10 pm (Santo Domingo time). It is a rule we set ourselves; we have not yet checked it against visit measurements, so we do not claim these are the hours with the most buyers. Outside that schedule the plans' weight drops and free listings show more often.
The entry requirement is quality, not the plan. A listing without photos or with empty details does not enter the draw even if its owner pays: it needs at least 50 out of 100 in completeness. You see that number in your panel, and we tell you what is missing.
Nobody keeps la Vitrina for themselves. Of the 8 slots, 2 come from the group of paid listings (on a plan or with a Boost; those with a Boost carry the Featured label) — but that group is also drawn, so paying does not reserve a seat for anyone in particular. The other 6 are drawn among everyone, free listings included. And if that day no paid listing meets the requirement, all 8 slots are drawn among the free ones: the front page is never left half empty.
A neglected paid listing does not enter the draw. A complete listing, free or paid, does.
