Properati was founded in 2012 by the economist Gabriel Gruber and the programmer Martín Sarsale. According to Gruber in an interview with El Cronista "El Cronista (Buenos Aires newspaper)"), the platform arose after having launched Sumavisos, in 2009, a classifieds search engine for real estate, cars and jobs, which reached 10 million monthly users.[1][13]​.

Since its founding and until 2018, Properati obtained financing from different groups of investors that allowed it to expand to Brazil, Mexico and Chile. In 2014, it completed the purchase of the real estate portal Imovel do Propietario de Brasil.[8]​[14]​[15]​.

In June 2018, OLX Group, a global technology products company, purchased Properati. The transaction excluded developments in the countries of Brazil, Mexico and Chile. After the purchase, Properati expanded its operations to Colombia, Ecuador and Peru.[16]​.

In 2019, it established commercial operations in the three new countries with OLX, which offered digital services for second-hand sales ads including cars and jobs. Since 2020, it launched a digital real estate advisory service and product.[17]​.

As of January 2022, Japanese firm Lifull Connect completed its full acquisition of Properati from OLX Group. In this way, the portal of Argentine origin is part of the network of portals that include the aggregators Trovit, Mitula, Nestoria and Nuroa and the search engines Icasas, Punto Propiedad, La found, Globaliza, DotProperty, HipFlat and Thailand Property.[6]​.

Months later, OLX Group announced the closure of operations in Ecuador and Peru.[18]​.

In 2014, Properati published a map called 'Platanometro', which aimed to present the geographical location of shade plane trees or Platanus hispánic. In Buenos Aires, during spring, the flowering season of these species, the presence of allergy symptoms is common. The tool created by the portal has been used in books and in multiple digital media publications, as an example of the use of open data.[19]​[20]​[21]​[7]​.

In 2022, the 'Master in Management + Analytics' (MiM+A) master's degree at the Universidad Torcuato Di Tella (UTDT) launched an academic competition on the Kaggle platform. The objective was to create a Machine Learning algorithm that can predict the number of contacts that an ad published on the portal may have.[20]​.

In addition, the use and dissemination of different data and studies was recognized by the Open Government Partnership organization, Media Party (Hack Hackers Buenos Aires) and Northeastern University's Co-Lab for Data Impact & School of Journalism.[22]​[11]​[23]​[24]​.

Properati has disseminated reports on the real estate market from different points of view. Media from different countries in the region have echoed the figures published by the portal. The coverage provided during times of local elections in Argentina stands out,[25]​[26]​ the analysis of the 'Wagemeter' in Colombia and Ecuador,[27]​[28]​[29]​ and data on the market in the BBC and The New York Times.[30]​[31]​[32]​[11]​.

As with other real estate portals, the quality of the information published depends on the accuracy of real estate agents and property developers in sharing property data. One of the main criticisms is the updating of available or canceled ads. Properati's search index is as accurate and current as the data provided by its sources (agents and construction companies).
