One Oasis’ Grand Open House

Filinvest’s first development here in the City of Golden Friendship – One Oasis, conducted its Grand Open House at the project’s site. Last August 27, brokers, salespersons and prospect buyers gathered in the said event. The open house was conducted as a part of the promotion and marketing strategy of One Oasis.

As a booming and blooming city, condominiums are popping out almost in every part of the city. Each condominium project has varied features and amenities that make them stand out from other condos. For one, One Oasis includes in the soon to develop condo projects here in Cagayan de Oro City. Unlike any other condos, One Oasis is a mid-rise condominium that would set in the heart of the city. While other developers are building high rise condominiums, Filinvest decided to make something that would differ them from the others.

For its latest update, Filinvest is working on the land development of the One Oasis site. This project would be composed of five mid rise buildings; each building has seven storeys. Next year, they will start to build one of the five buildings. Then eventually will continue to build the other buildings. One Oasis is a breath of fresh air for the Kagay-anons because of its unique style. It’s indeed a patch of green in the City of Golden Friendship because they are an advocate also of green living.

The open house was definitely a great way to further promote One Oasis. It was a fun day for all the visitors. Thanks to the Filinvest staff for the warm welcome. We look forward for more updates and events to come.

With the Bureau of Internal Revenue’s new implemented regulations, the SHDA group decided to conduct this certain seminar to educate all the concerned people for this revenue regulation.

A representative from the City Treasurer’s office namely Mr. Glenn Banez was also present as well; wherein he talked about taxation and other things related to it.

Nowadays, a lot of people have been engaged to the real estate industry. Knowing that real estate business offers greater benefits and income, thus everybody wants to venture in the said industry.

Westwoods Village: Now Open!

It’s been 7 months now since Pueblo de Oro announced to the public their newest property development – Westwoods Village. When they have disclosed this to the public, no reservations were accepted yet only letter of intents as they were still finalizing plans and developments for the subdivision.

Just last March 22, 2013 when PODC formally opened Westwoods Village to the public and that means reservations can be made already. Westwoods Village held its gate groundbreaking, emphasizing that the said subdivision is finally open. Present VIP’s in the said event were Mr. Rommel Leuterio, the COO of Pueblo de Oro Development Corporation, Mr. Syntax and Ms. Lulu of the A.V. Pamatong group.

After the groundbreaking, the brokers from different realty firms were privileged to have a closed door meeting together with Mr. Leuterio at Pueblo Golf Estates clubhouse. Mr. Leuterio shared his insights regarding the project that he himself is one of the creators. He then shared some good points in buying a property at Westwoods Village; what good will it bring and give to prospect buyers. Mr. Leuterio even encouraged the brokers to avail a property at Westwoods Village because he and Mr. Alex Pamatong bought a slot in the said subdivision; intending it to be his vacation house and Mr. Pamatong’s residential house.

Westwoods Village is the latest development of Pueblo de Oro and it’s one of the projects that they’re most proud of because of home and nature’s convergence. As what their tagline says “A natural enclave in the midst of Metropolis”, indeed it’s a place where you can escape from the buzz of the city. Westwoods Village is accessible to establishments and other subdivisions, but when you’re inside the subdivision, it’s as if you’re in another place.

Isn’t this enticing enough for you? Come and be part of this subdivision. Be a part of the Pueblo de Oro Township!

The Crucial Decision-making in Buying by Couples

Cagayan de Oro is becoming the most-wanted place to settle for families. The City is not so crowded and traffic is bearable. The necessities of growing families like schools, churches, hospitals and malls are within reach. One client remarked, " You can explore CDO in a day!" So most often, our clientele includes husband-wife tandem in search for the best location they can call the 'family haven'.

Choosing which property to buy from a long list of good options is quite a challenge for couples. There are times that one of the couple would confide that they had some argument as they form a decision regarding their investment. You may agree with me that both spouses must come into mutual agreement in their decision to buy.

Well there are many instances where couples need to decide over some things not just in buying. Disagreements and arguments ensue when things are not seen objectively and on the same level as the other. That is, the couple is not seeing each other eye to eye. A certain tone or statement may have triggered the others reactive disposition turning an objective issue into a relational conflict. Relational conflict happens when the husband feels attacked and accused and/or the wife feels unimportant and unloved.

Let me share what an anointed counselor and minister, Craig Hill gave as practical steps for both the husband and wife to solve relational conflicts.

So whenever decisions have to be made and couple conflict arises, follow the practical steps above. The spouse who has read this article is meant to start the process.

Product Knowledge Seminars

As a Real Estate Broker and Salesperson, being knowledgeable with the products that you market is a must. Prospect buyers would want to inquire and talk to someone who is an expert with the product that he or she sells.

In order for a broker or salesperson to have an insight with the products that they promote, they attend this so called Product Knowledge Seminar. This Product Knowledge Seminar or PKS is conducted by the developers here in Cagayan de Oro City. Developers conduct this seminar for them to promote and endorse all their products to the real estate brokers and salespersons. As we all know, the brokers and salespersons are responsible in helping the developers in selling out their endorsed products.

For this month, two known developers conducted their very first PKS for the year 2013. First one to summon all the realty firms for a seminar was A.V.Pamatong Trading & Const. Inc. For those who aren't aware yet, A.V.Pamatong and Pueblo de Oro is in collaboration for a certain project called Westwoods Village. The AVP group conducted this seminar to give the brokers and salespersons additional updates regarding Westwoods Village. They have presented the payment schemes and incentive program that they offer to the attendees.

Next developer to conduct a seminar was Johndorf Ventures Corporation. It was a refresher course for they have discussed again the features and amenities of the properties they’re selling. JVC also disclosed to the attendees their new sellers and buyers promo. At the end of the session, they have given the brokers and salespersons an exam just to see if they really have learned something from the PKS.

Now that the marketing officers are packed with information and updates from the developers, they are definitely confident in advertising the products to prospect clients. Big thanks to the developers for without their products and seminars, the brokers and salespersons couldn't even sell and earn something. There will be more PKS to come for sure because numerous developers have not yet conducted their PKS. We’ll keep you updated of the other seminars that we will be attending to. Until then!

JVC’s First General Assembly

Every property developer here in this city aims to sell out all their projects. They conduct activities and come up with promos that will attract prospect buyers. Catchy incentive programs are also at stake for real estate brokers and salespersons.

Johndorf Ventures Corporation is one of the many developers here that offers awesome promos and programs. And just like what any other developers here in Cagayan de Oro City do, JVC conducted their very first General Assembly last January 16, 2013 at Buffalo Grill.

In the assembly, the marketing staffs of JVC talked about their existing and upcoming projects. They have mentioned about a new development namely Breeza; and this one we are sure prospect buyers will definitely like, the awaiting of Pag-ibig Citi Homes Phase 4. Exciting, right? But we would spare you the details as of now to keep the excitement on. As soon as JVC gives us the go signal for promotion, we will announce it right away.

Even we salespersons are excited as well in the opening of Phase 4 Pag-ibig Citi Homes. A lot of interested buyers inquired about this certain subdivision last year and now we are just itching to spread this news to them. Well, aside from their upcoming projects, Bellevue Subdivision and Granvia Suites are still open for selling. At Granvia Suites, they have this great promo offering to all buyers and sellers. More information regarding this promo will be posted soon.

The two hour general assembly ended with a glee as we are excited with the updates that JVC has disclosed to us. It would definitely be a happy selling for all the brokers and salespersons. Cheers!

Green Christmas at Primavera Residences

Being the first eco-friendly building here in Cagayan de Oro City, Primavera Residences definitely had a green Christmas celebration.

Last December 29, 2012 around 6:00 in the evening, the brokers and agents from different realty offices gathered together in one event; Primavera’s Christmas party. The party was held in the multi-purpose hall of the green condominium. It was a party packed with great program that includes raffle promos, giveaways and games. All the attendees did actively participate in the different games that the Italpinas staffs have prepared. And it was a fun party indeed.

This party held by Primavera Residences was a great year ender event. All the participants had something to remember for the year 2012. The party is also a thanksgiving to all the real estate brokers and agents who have great contribution to the company. Surely, this is not the last party that Italpinas will be throwing at.
