Building Bridges and Informed Decisions: The Need For Real Estate Brokers vs Websites

Hello.

Here is a quick post. I just want to share this article on the importance and role of a Real Estate Broker.

Six Reasons Websites Cannot Replace Real Estate Brokers (Lamudi Philippines)

If I may add, implied in the article is that human factor, the relationship you make with a professional in the midst of all that talk on Buyer-Seller transactions. The upside of course is Brokers form Associations or are Associated with other Brokers. This fact alone organically improves reach and engagements many folds.

So, try to build bridges and try not to be confined in the walls of your device. Let us handle it. 😉

Section 3-g-(4) of the RESA Law IRR:

“Real estate broker – a duly registered and licensed natural person who, for a professional fee, commission or other valuable consideration, acts as an agent of a party in a real estate transaction to offer, advertise, solicit, list, promote, mediate, negotiate or effect the meeting of the minds on the sale, purchase, exchange, mortgage, lease or joint venture, or other similar transactions on real estate or any interest therein.”

ICYMI

Here is a brief explanation and update on the Philippine Fair Competition Act. Let me just tell in advance Pres. Aquino did not change his stand on Foreign ownership restrictions in the Constitution. It is just there are high rank officials who think relaxing said restrictions is necessary in commencing the Transpacific Partnership. Learn more in the video below.

Do you think this non-resolution is a setback? Are you for or against relaxing Foreign Ownership restriction? Is the Philippines ready for this level of competition?

Late Post: New Links & Fixed Links

(Something I just want to get out of the way…)

 

Hello.

It has been a while since I posted anything, hasn’t it? I’ve been busy lately with preparations for my cousin’s big wedding, and some other business/trading for my hobby in the other end. Anyway, I am currently fixing and improving the blog’s broken external links which was brought to my attention when my brother and I consulted a website designer. I have managed to find the broken ones and simply updated the URLs. I also removed some links that are suspended or closed namely the links to PAREB and PMRB web in the Blogs section. A replacement will be in the works soon hopefully. For the fun part, I have added links to my Pinterest account, my Pasig blog, and link to the web affiliate or MLS account I use. I use Pinterest to put all my favorite photos from all projects, and viewings I handle. My Pasig Blog is where I note listings (others’ and mine) I come across.

It is good practice to inspect your web blog or sites’ external links because not all organizations, companies, brands, etc can maintain them. Some, if not most, change completely while others close entirely. Also, you may be at fault on your end as well. You may have linked your other site, upgraded plans or subscriptions, or changed URLs then, forgot to update the blog link end. Needless to say, I will be adding or removing some more links in the future.
