This Is The Shortlist.

𝗕𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 ‘𝗡𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗮’ (Connecting People) in the real estate business. Quick story: I sold a property to a New York-based client and it’s not this condo unit in the video. But before that happened, the initial message was about hooking up this client with the right contractors who can do the renovation works for this studio unit. So I did. Three weeks later, the same client messaged and asked if I was familiar with this leisure development in Batangas which eventually, she ended up buying through me.

In my 12 years of real estate, I had a handful of clients who weren’t supposed to buy but ended up buying and satisfied with their purchase. Some needed a commercial place for a restaurant, some just joined a viewing with a friend, and others were simply looking to renovate their space. So what’s the lesson here? Address an existing need before doing your pitch and that could be your next close. Cheers! 🙌

𝐏𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞, it’s not your typical “build-and-sell” house. Talk about quality and this is it! Our friend’s first project in full swing and soon to be ready! 2 years after its initial stages of planning, I’m privileged to be the first to get a preview of this modern 4-bedroom house before we officially list it out in the open! 😉

As of now, what’s more important? Is it scaling up or securing stability? 🤔

Had another chance to conduct my second L&D session with Colliers Philippines’ Landlord Representation Team WORK in PH and my first, as a CLDP®️ (Certified Learning and Development Professional). Glad to share insights with the whole team, including interns, about dealing with objections and what’s really in the minds of stakeholders during an economic shift.

𝘼𝙙𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙨𝙚 4 𝙡𝙚𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙨 C-L-D-P next to my name and I am extremely glad and grateful for another achievement and a global recognition in my professional career, this time in the field of 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁! Oftentimes, I talk to clients and colleagues about properties as investments but on a deeper degree, investing in yourself holistically will prepare you for the outcome you look for in the long term. This is just another chapter to making an impact in the business, the 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘆 in particular. I've always been an advocate of continuous learning, because in this day and age of information where anyone can just be anything, do everything, how do you remain competitive? It's by falling back to the level of your skill and your knowledge. Learn, Upskill, and be Relevant. 🙌

Glad to be part of the program. Thank you to Institute of Learning and Development, International HR Institute, CredEX, classmates across different industries and organizations, and of course to our professor Garcia! 👏

Upskilled,

When I was an in-house agent back in 2014, clients would ask if they could move in before full payment, and my answer was always no. Today, major developers are letting buyers move into RFO units as long as key payment milestones are met. Here's what changed, and what it means if you're deciding between primary and resale. 👇

“Don’t wait to buy real estate. Buy real estate and wait.” — Will Rogers 📖 Sounds cliché but for some, this makes perfect sense. If you can afford it, go make that purchase whether it’s for investment, for end-use, or for legacy because your time in the market matters.

Now, what’s that expensive word again? 🤔

𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝘾𝙤𝙨𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝙄𝙣𝙫𝙞𝙨𝙞𝙗𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙮. That was the title of the session I delivered today for the Landlord Representation team of 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗣𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀 and Work in PH. It’s a conversation I believe every service-oriented professional needs to have whether you are part of a bigger firm, or one that practices solo. Because in this industry, the gap between a good broker and a chosen broker isn’t always experience or skill.
It’s visibility. It’s positioning. It’s the quiet work that happens long before any relationship is established.

Grateful for a room full of people who showed up ready to work and exchange ideas with. 🙌

More sessions coming! If you wanna bring this to your team, my door is open. 🤙
