English-Language Classifieds in Georgia: An Expat Guide to Buying and Selling | Unlim.ge

Yes, there is a classifieds site in Georgia that works in English: Unlim.ge runs in Georgian, Russian and English, on the website and in the iOS and Android apps. Basic listings are free, and all 21 categories sit under one account. To reach local buyers as well as other expats, add a short version of your listing in a second language, ideally Georgian.

Why local classifieds can be hard for expats

• Interface language. Many local sites are built mainly for Georgian speakers, and the filters are hard to use without a translator.
• A different site for every need. One site for cars, another for property, plus Facebook groups with no real search.
• Reach. A listing only in English is seen by fewer people, because most local buyers search in Georgian.

How Unlim.ge works in English

• Three interface languages. The site and the app work in Georgian, Russian and English.
• One account for everything. Sell a car, rent out a flat and list a TV from the same profile.
• Free basic listings. You only pay if you want to push a listing higher in search.
• All of Georgia. Activity is highest in Tbilisi and Batumi, with listings in other large cities too.
• Sign-up required. You need an account on the site or in the app to post.

How to write a listing locals will read too

1. Write the main text in English: what it is, condition, price, where to see it.
2. Add a short Georgian version. A Georgian-speaking colleague or neighbour can help with two or three sentences.
3. Put brand and model in the title. "iPhone 13 128GB" reads the same in any language.
4. Always state the currency. Everyday items are usually priced in lari (GEL); cars and property are often priced in US dollars.
5. Name the district or city so buyers know how far they need to travel.
6. Say which languages you are comfortable with for calls and messages.

What expats buy and sell most

• Moving-out sales: furniture, appliances, kids' gear.
• Electronics: phones, laptops, monitors. One of the busiest sections on the platform.
• Long-term rentals in Tbilisi and Batumi.
• Used cars.
• Services: repairs, lessons, translation, help with moving.

Staying safe

• Do not send a "reservation" deposit before you meet, especially if you are being rushed.
• Inspect expensive items in person. Photos and chat are no substitute.
• For cars, check the VIN with the Public Service Agency; for property, get an extract from the Public Registry.
• A price far below market is more often a warning sign than a bargain.
• Put the deal terms in writing, even a short message helps.
• If something feels off, report the seller, buyer or listing directly on the platform.
