[...] I have not lost hope for my officemates, I believe that all they need is just a change in mindset. Believe it or not, I once had the same thinking before, similar to what I mentioned in my previous [...]

Hi Bea,

Small world kasi I attended a brokers accreditation seminar with Alveo a couple of months ago. Although Alveo is different from Ayala Land Premiere, I guess they are still in the same family under Ayala Land. Yes, I understand what you mean about the effort needed, not to mention the time, which is why I cannot focus on it at the moment. Maybe when I’m officially out of the rat race and have all the time in the world, I’ll give it a try.

Thanks for the kind words and for dropping by!

Hi Sam,

Thanks for the question as I’m sure a lot of people also have this in mind. Before the RESA law, to become a licensed broker, one just has to attend a duly accredited Cromprehensive Real Estate Seminar and Review or CRESR and then take and pass the licensure exam by DTI, provided one has all the requirements.

After the RESA Law was passed, the most common interpretation of the law is that one requirement to qualify for the licensure exam, which is now to be given by the PRC, is to attend a 2 or 4 year course on real estate.

I suggest we wait for the RESA Law implementing rules and regulations which should be out after about 6 months initial publication of the RESA Law. You can read more about the RESA law in my post: Real Estate Service Act of the Philippines (RESA) Signed Into Law, Real Estate Brokers’ Licensure Exam Postponed

Hello to everyone on the site.
I quite enjoyed reading your posts, especially the positive attitude that comes out of it and you investors.:)
To be honest, I have just started out as a property specialist at ayala land premiere, and was getting a bit disheartened because of the effort you really have to put in.
But it’s true; there is so much to appreciate and if you think about it, this is one venture where the returns will greatly outweigh what you input.
So to everyone out there, don’t lose hope!:D
If anyone’s interested in sharing in the business of ayala land premiere, don’t hesitate to contact me either.
I’ll be more than happy to support anyone in any way I can.:)

Hi Jay,

This is a somewhat unrelated question…

Can you share how to become a real estate broker? I have been searching the internet for information but could not really find any. I think there is some kind of seminar or class and then a test. Is this correct? Where can I take the class? What are the requirements?

Thanks for any help!

Hi Shiela, that happens to all of us so I guess the key is really to learn on focusing on the potential of a property and the ability to envision it after renovation. =)
