Spanish to English Marketing Real Estate \

My latest translation job is for an estate agency/ real estate company. There's the European/US distinction right there ;-).
This gig is for the European market so although both terms are understood, the trend for "localisation" suggests we stick to "European English."

I'm having a lot of fun appraising the subtleties between the English English=European, "property" and the more USA "real estate".

Quite apart from that, let's look at the problem here. A fast translation would give something like

**Enter search criteria and the matching properties will be displayed.**

Now, nit-picker that I am :-) there's a quality here that I don't want the discerning user to "read". A dictionary definition would cover what concerns me, viz: *Propiedad (attribute), calidad particular o privativa.*

It looks as if we're saying that the "properties" of the search criteria will be invoked. No big deal you may say, but... just that wee bit intellectually/linguistically sloppy.

But what am I left with? Enter search criteria and the matching **buildings** will be displayed? I don't think so...

Anyone feeling inspired? :-)
Thanks
