Confirmed! The Next Real Estate Brokers’ Exam in Q1-2016 Will Be Open To All (Not Only For Re-takers)

Confirmed! At the speech of Mr. Eduardo G. Ong, Chairman of the Professional Regulatory Board for Real Estate Service (PRB-RES) at the iRISE event at the SMX Mall of Asia, he said that there will be another real estate brokers’ exam for those who did not graduate with a real estate management degree. Get more details below.

Unlike in his previous speech in the Oathtaking of the May 2014 real estate brokers’ exam passers, he said that the said exam will be open not only to re-takers but also to those who will still be taking the 120-hour Comprehensive Real Estate Seminar (CRES). Please note that I have not yet seen a formal written announcement about this exam.

Fortunately, Jay was able to take a video of E.G. Ong’s speech during the iRise event at the SM MOA SMX last August 7, 2015. Watch the video below:

I made a transcript of the video, but please forgive me if I misheard some bits and pieces. The main message though is quite clear.

Video transcript:

In the recent examination last May 24 in the brokers’ exam, my heart bled. Because I did not want to see fifty percent passing only! I wanted sixty-seven percent (?). But be that as it may, that’s why, out of our good hearts, of the Board, we are giving those who did not make it, another chance.

Out there, I was approached by I think Phil Coquia, “Chairman, are you only giving a chance to those who flunked? I said, “No.”. Those who did not make it 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015, will be allowed to take the exam.

But those who still would like to join the very rewarding career of real estate, you are also welcome. So therefore, (clapping) therefore, there’s still going to be one more CRES!

Or for those who are business-minded, three more CRES! But rest assured, please (be) ensure that the quality of your education, the quality of your teachings, of your instruction, should be at par to what the board expects. Ok ba yon? (Yes) Good.

Where can one take the 120-hour review?

For those who want to take the real estate brokers’ exam and have not yet taken the 120-hour review course previously, so far I have seen two service providers with schedules.

  1. It’s Mr. Phil Coquia, past president of Pasay-Makati Realty Board where I am a member. Anyway, this is very good for all aspiring brokers. I already told some of my friends. Our Sr. VP also wanted to take the exam. 🙂

  2. Atty. Castillo, we are helping spread the word. I passed the recent board exam and I also heard Dr. E.G Ong said this but wasn’t very clear about it. If having more RE brokers help drive Philippine economy, then let us do it! Thank you for the confirmation.
