The verdict in three sentences
In Brussels, a luxury real estate agency website usually costs 8 000 to 35 000+ EUR from a local web agency and 2 500 to 9 000 EUR from a freelancer (2026 ballpark, depending on scope), compared with 2 700, 4 500 or 8 200 EUR at Kolonell. In prestige property, the gap between two quotes comes down to the quality of property presentation, the connection to your listings software and how languages are handled (French, Dutch, English), far more than the page count. Compare offers on a written scope, check who owns the domain and have the mandatory listing information reviewed.
What do Brussels web agencies charge for a prestige property site?
If you are an English-speaking broker running a high-end agency in Brussels, the ranges below are wide because everything depends on the number of properties, visual production and integrations. They rely on sources any agency manager can check: public rate cards of Belgian web agencies, Clutch.co profiles showing minimum project sizes, and freelance platform rates (Malt, Upwork, Clutch).
| Option | 2026 ballpark | Typical delay | Usually included | After launch |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Premium branding agency in Brussels | 15 000 to 35 000+ EUR | 10 to 16 weeks | Visual identity, custom design, copywriting, listings feed integration | Separate monthly retainer |
| Generalist web agency | 8 000 to 15 000 EUR | 6 to 10 weeks | Adapted real estate theme, CMS, standard listings feed | Hourly, often 80 to 140 EUR |
| Freelancer | 2 500 to 9 000 EUR | 4 to 12 weeks | Build, copy and visuals supplied by you | Depends on availability |
| Kolonell Starter | 2 700 EUR | 3 to 4 weeks | Essential pages, native copywriting, valuation request form | 3 months included |
| Kolonell Growth | 4 500 EUR | 3 to 4 weeks | Property and neighbourhood pages, team, listings widget integration | 3 months included |
| Kolonell Premium | 8 200 EUR | Usually 4 to 6 weeks, written schedule at kickoff | Advanced editorial design, bilingual French and English, buyer guides | 6 months included |
A Brussels agency brings proximity, sometimes a partner photographer and fine knowledge of Uccle, Ixelles or the Louise district. If your visuals come from your usual photographer, you are mostly paying for design, copywriting and integration, and that is where the gap widens. Details are on our international website offer.
What does each tier include for a luxury real estate agency?
A demanding buyer, whether a European expat or a Brussels family, wants beautifully presented properties, a sense of the neighbourhood and a quick conversation with an adviser. A seller wants to feel their property will be showcased.
| Need | Starter (2 700 EUR) | Growth (4 500 EUR) | Premium (8 200 EUR) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Home, agency, team, contact | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Properties for sale and rent | Link to your listings in your software or on portals | Widget or feed provided by your software, embedded | Polished integration, editorial layout for flagship properties |
| Neighbourhood pages (Uccle, Ixelles, Woluwe, Sablon...) | No | A few pages | Detailed pages |
| Seller valuation request | Simple form | Qualified form | Dedicated seller journey |
| Buyer guides (expats, purchase costs, steps) | No | One page | Several guides |
| Bilingual French and English | No | No | Yes |
| Dutch | Translations supplied by you or quoted separately | Same | Same |
Every tier includes a project manager reachable in Brussels time over Google Meet, a written weekly update, native French or English copywriting, the domain registered in the agency's name and all access handed over. Payment by bank transfer or Wise, 50 % at the start and 50 % at delivery. A custom sync with your software or a private client area (off-market properties, documents) is a development quoted on request.

What must a Brussels prestige property site comply with?
Listing information and professional rules. In Belgium, real estate agents work under the supervision of their professional institute (IPI), whose code of conduct also covers advertising. Listings carry mandatory information, including energy performance data (the PEB certificate in the Brussels-Capital Region): check the exact list with your adviser or listings software. The managing director validates every page; we write precise copy without misleading superlatives.
Personal data. Belgium applies the GDPR, supervised by the Data Protection Authority. A valuation or contact form should stay lean: contact details, property type, municipality, preferred time. A buyer's financial documents do not travel through the site. A compliant consent banner and no unnecessary trackers. This is not legal advice.
Languages and accessibility. In Brussels, high-end clients switch between French, Dutch and English. Kolonell writes natively in French and English; Dutch is supplied by you or quoted separately. On the technical side, WCAG 2.1 AA is the reference, and the speed of photo galleries on mobile matters as much as their beauty.

Mini case study
*Illustrative example, fictional agency.* Camille runs a six-broker prestige property agency in Uccle. A Brussels branding agency quotes 20 000 EUR for a bilingual site; Kolonell's Premium tier costs 8 200 EUR. Her photographer already produces property visuals and her software provides a listings widget. Same assumption on both sides: 180 EUR per month for hosting and maintenance.
| Item over 3 years | Branding agency | Kolonell Premium |
|---|---|---|
| Build | 20 000 EUR | 8 200 EUR |
| Hosting and maintenance (36 x 180 EUR, same assumption) | 6 480 EUR | 6 480 EUR |
| Total | 26 480 EUR | 14 680 EUR |
The gap is 11 800 EUR over three years, about 45 % less. Part of that sum can fund the Dutch translation or property videos.
