For Buyers or Renters

Buying or leasing a house, condominium, or lot is always an exciting decision. But it can also be very overwhelming.

Why hiring a licensed broker can help you:

• Most buyers/lessees don’t know where to start. A licensed broker can immediately give you good leads based on your specific requirements.
• A licensed broker has a wide, updated network
  1. of sellers and property owners,
  2. of full-time professionals who are wholly dedicated to real estate marketing.
• A licensed broker can properly recommend strategies in negotiations.
• A licensed broker has expert documentation knowhow and will be able to assist you in the legal process of acquiring your property.
• A licensed broker can provide objective information on the value of a property in relation to others that are available in the market.
• A licensed broker can also provide relevant information on the features, amenities and services offered in the vicinity of the property.

What you should decide on before you approach a broker:

• Decide that you really want to hire a broker, who will be your partner in finding the right home for you and your family.  Finding the right home takes a lot of time and effort, and as brokers we make it our business to help you, but you also have to decide that you want to be helped.
• Before you set out to look for your ideal home, make sure you have the following information ready.  Narrowing down your requirements lets us focus on only properties that a suitable for you, ultimately saving you time and moving you closer to finding your dream home.

1. Property type. Are you looking for a vacant lot, house, townhouse or a condominium? How many bedrooms do you need?
2. Location. The more specific the better (“Salcedo Village in Makati” is better than “Makati”).
3. Timeframe. When do you plan to move in?
4. Budget. Most people start with a ceiling on their budget, but a price range gives a broker more leeway in looking for options for you. It would also help to decide on your financing terms (are you paying in cash or taking out a loan?).
5. Personal preferences: parking slots, morning sun, pool, bungalow, low-level floor, etc.
