The All-New Real Estate Property Broker Ideal

Do you want to have a Mansion dream house, but you also don’t like mowing a lawn? Well, consider buying a condominium unit. A condominium is usually smaller and cheaper than a single detached family house. It can have desirable facilities as part of the Condominium Amenities like swimming pools and fitness gym. Because of these, condominiums or condo for short, are an excellent replacement for those first-time home buyer customers or those who are ready to downside their place.

So, if you want to make it a reality of having your condo, open a savings account. It is essential to start a savings account with a bank. Talk to your bank account manager about curiosity-bearing savings account that you can create interest repayments from the build-up.

 

Start assessing your salary and other sources of income. You need to know the amount of your monthly disposable income before you can keep the money to purchase a condo. For instance, how much can you set aside money to save monthly? If your extra earning is P10,000 a month, deposit that into your savings account.

 

I will give you some tips to save money. Cook your food. It will save you A LOT of money instead of buying food from restaurants. However, it would help if you had an extra effort like grocery shopping and cooking, but you will be responsible. You might become a good cook. We should admit sometimes we want to treat ourselves to dine, yes you can do it, of course, but do it occasionally and don’t make it a routine. If you want to eat out, look for discounts.

 

Another saving tip is, search for entirely free entertainment. Control yourself in some pretty expensive entertainment such as attending a concert, party all night at bars, and other activities that can hinder you from saving a considerable amount of money.

 

Stay away from shopping malls and stores, and most especially, online shopping. Ask yourself several times if you need it, but if you want it, no, don’t buy it. Buying non-essential stuff is not the perfect timing to shop for new outfits or the latest gadgets or whatever. The self-control of handling money is the MOST appropriate to do when you want to own a condo.

 

If you think your earnings are not enough, consider selling things you are not already using. Did you know it is the fastest method to get extra cash? Yes, you are not just earning, but you are also saving our mother earth.

 

You can also apply for a part-time job like beginning a home-based company or work from home. If you don’t have disposable income, search for a second job, or find ways to make money from home. Do your secondary job at nights, weekends, or any day that you are free.

SECRETS Reveal in Property Investment Success

HAVE YOU BEEN TO CEBU CITY LATELY? If you have noticed, high rise buildings are sprouting everywhere. As a licensed Broker, i get invited at least once every month for a project launching. So just imagine at least 12 new projects within a year for us to offer. hmmmmmm.....It means good business.

Most of our buyers nowadays are getting younger.  As young as 22 years old my client started her first condominium investment. The purpose usually of our buyers for buying a condo unit is for rental business. Here are 2 things we consider when we offer a condo project to our buyer/investors:

1. LOCATION is very important to consider when buying a condo unit for lease. The location of your unit must be accessible to public transportation and must be near to offices, Malls, Schools and BPO companies to increase chances of having your unit rented immediately

2. PROPERTY MANAGEMENT is also very important because if the condominium building where your unit is located is well kept, your unit will easily be rented. Moreover your unit will appreciate its value through the years.

5 Practical Tips when Buying Properties ON-LINE

                          www.cebubai.com

1. CHECK THE NAME OF THE LICENSED BROKER. Some websites only put contact numbers without a name. The full name of the Real Estate Broker must appear on the website.

2. LOOK FOR THE PRC REGISTRATION NO. OF THE LICENSED BROKER. There are sellers on the internet trying to call themselves Brokers/REALTOR but are not. And they keep on giving promises to buyers which they can't really deliver. The registration no. should be placed after the name of the Broker.

3. LATEST PHOTO OF THE LICENSED REAL ESTATE BROKER SHOULD BE SEEN IN THE WEBSITE. You must transact business with a person you can picture out from the photo on their website. 

4. THE OFFICE ADDRESS / GOOGLE MAP OF THE REALTY  MUST BE VISIBLE IN THE WEBSITE. This ensures that you know where to go when you want to ask for help concerning your property investment.

5. ASK FOR A SKYPE OR FACETIME ACCOUNT OF THE BROKERS.
In the final stage of your transaction, it is essential to personally talk to the Broker to make sure that you are communicating to the right person on their website.

Ways to avoid being a victim of property scams


Is it enough that government agencies such as the Pag-Ibig Fund, the Housing and Land Use Regulatory Board (HLURB) and the Register of Deeds (RD) have adopted strict measures to ferret out unscrupulous land developers to avoid another scam such as that of Globe Asiatique? 

The Globe Asiatique scam involved up to P7 billion of Pag-Ibig funds being lent to “buyers” of businessman Delfin Lee’s housing developments, 60 percent of whom turned out to be “ghost” borrowers, while the developer pocketed the proceeds and sold the units to other buyers, many of who were overseas Filipinos unaware that they were already buying “sold” units.

The biggest lesson to be learned from this grand scam is that buyers themselves must exercise due diligence in  acquiring properties, and not leave the background checking entirely on the government. 

Here are 12 prudent measures that every prospective buyer should take to avoid falling victim to property frauds.

1Check if the particular development you are eyeing has a License to Sell with the HLURB. A developer may undertake multiple projects, but each project must have a distinct HLURB License to Sell. Ask the seller or broker/agent of the developer for a copy of this License to Sell for the particular project. You can also verify this in the HLURB website (www.hlurb.gov.ph).

2Verify if the broker/agent is registered with the HLURB, and make sure that the property being eyed has not been sold to other buyers.

3Visit the project site. One way of checking if the the stated address of the project corresponds to the location of the project site is to Google Map the address, says Enrique M. Soriano III, Ateneo program director for real estate and senior adviser for Wong+Bernstein Business Advisory.
Lawyer Joan A. De Venecia, Pag-Ibig Fund’s vice president for public relations and information services, reminds buyers that it is not enough for one to transact with sales agents in malls. Buyers must conduct an ocular inspection of the project site to see if there are illegal settlers in the area, or if the site has safety issues.

4Standards of the structure. Check if the materials used to build the residential unit conforms with the development standards and approved construction specifications submitted to HLURB. Also check which party would have to shoulder the cost of the water and electric meters, the subdivision perimeter fence, etc. and who would eventually operate the subdivision/condominium building’s water system.

5 Do not sign blank Contract To Sell forms. “Overseas Filipinos are vulnerable to this method. Avoid signing any blank forms or housing contracts. Read thoroughly all the contents of the CTS, especially the terms and conditions in fine print. Secure a copy of the CTS and all other documents that you signed,” Soriano says.
Make sure also that the CTS would be registered by the owner/developer to the RD.

6Consult a trusted lawyer to guide you in the legal jargon and paperwork before you sign any contract.

7 Buy or invest from reputable developers who have had a long and solid history of delivering quality properties on time. Soriano stresses that “if it’s a start-up developer, make sure the company is known in the community.”

8If the Pag-Ibig Fund is the window of financing of the developer, buyers can check if the property they wish to acquire has already been mortgaged with the Fund.
Before developers can be approved for Pag-Ibig financing, the agency verifies documents of developers insofar as the project is concerned. Accrediting of development projects through the Pag-Ibig is pursuant to the agency’s loan processes only, De Venecia says.

9Find time to verify with the RD if the title to the property you intend to buy has encumbrances.
“Check with the RD if it has clean title,” stresses Florencio O. Galang, Pag-Ibig Fund’s department manager for public and media affairs. He adds that for other buyers whose project is not under the  Pag-Ibig Fund as the (financial) window of the developer, it would be more prudent to check with RD.

10If the project has a License to Sell, you may already enter into a contract to sell with the owner/developer. Things which must be checked before signing are:
• The date of completion of the project as indicated in the License to Sell;
• If the property has been mortgaged from the HLURB;
• The facilities and amenities represented in the advertisement flyers/brochures are in accordance with the approved subdivision and condominium plan on file with the HLURB.

11Get the services of an organic seller or licensed broker to guide you in the process of buying a property, especially for preselling projects. Before you complete the purchase, make sure you transact directly at the developer’s head office.

12Transact directly to the owner/developer or the marketing agent authorized by said owner/developer, and ask for official receipts on all payments, and keep these in your file.

EFFECTIVE WAY TO SELL YOUR HOUSE FAST

Selling your House is more than just putting up a "FOR SALE" sign to where your property is located. You might be able to save money by selling it by yourself. But studies on Real Estate show that four out of five properties are sold through a Licensed Real Estate Broker or what we call REALTOR.

The Cebu Real Estate Brokers work together as a TEAM and have a network to share and to exchange listed properties for sale. Every property listing we get, we immediately made known this to fellow REALTORS/BROKERS and salespersons under us that a certain property is for sale at a certain location at this price. if you sell on your own, you cannot use this network without an agreement with a BROKER/REALTOR. This is our professional edge which unluckily, you as a seller may not have the opportunity to make use of. 
Moreso, the Brokers in Cebu KNOW who are our buyer for a particular property for sale. So, After we get a property listing for  sale, we offer it first to our buyers  in mind.
And Lastly, we are KNOWLEDGEABLE to  the right market value for a particular property in a particular location. We usually suggest to our buyer the right price for their property offered for sale in the market.
Now you know why we Brokers can sell your house fast.
Get Ready....
