How Property24 helped a local broker succeed

LISTING properties via leading online real estate portal Property24 proved to be a boon for award-winning broker Ramil Alquileta.

Hailed as Broker of the Year by Banco de Oro for three consecutive years from 2013 to 2015, Alquileta is the entrepreneur behind My Saving Grace Realty and Development Corp. (MSGRDC), a firm that provides a wide selection of properties from bank-foreclosed assets to value-for-money homes to potential buyers and property investors.

At present, MSGRDC has a sizable number of properties listed on Property24.com.ph, a move that has assured the company’s access to a viable market and substantial returns. By listing on Property24, MSGRDC has already sold thousands of properties to satisfied customers, thereby adding on to its success.

It is a far cry from where Alquileta was barely a decade ago when mounting debts rendered him homeless for a while. But, barely three years since setting up MSGRDC, the firm has sold over P500 million in houses and foreclosed properties. Alquileta claims that this is mostly due to hard work, perseverance and doing the very best at one’s job.

“Two years ago isang milyon lang ang benta namin,” Alquileta said. “Subalit, sabi ko sa mga kasama ko, ‘Hindi pwedeng ganito ulit ang benta natin. Kailangan pag-igihan natin para magpatuloy ang kinikita ninyo at nakakatulong pa tayo.’” He added that it was necessary to challenge his sales team to do even better in order to keep them busy and motivated.

Professional integrity

Alquileta and MSGRDC pride themselves on professional integrity and optimal customer service. “Marami na rin akong narinig na naloko ng brokers,” Alquileta said. “Nag-down[payment] tapos iniwan at tinakbuhan na. ’Yung iba naman after closing the sales at nagkabayaran na, wala nang customer service support.” He went on to say that his company treats its clients with due respect, given that every centavo they invest has come from hard work and sacrifice. Likewise, the company makes it a point to help others, specifically overseas Filipino workers, improve their standing in life by helping them get their dream homes and even start up their own businesses.

“In this business that I set up, marami rin akong natutulungan. Marami na rin akong trabaho na naibigay,” said Alquileta. “I thank the people who helped and trusted me. I got a lot of referrals and, thank God, all of them are successful now, achieving their dreams and making a truly wise investment.”
