How I help
Whoever you are, I start with your situation, not a sales pitch.
Pick the one that sounds like you. Each comes with a plan, a checklist and one person to call.
Buy with a budget you actually understand.
Before we look at a single property, we work out what you can comfortably afford, including down payment, closing costs and monthly amortisation.
- Shortlist matched to your commute, schools and budget
- Title and tax declaration checked before you reserve
- Pag-IBIG and bank loan pre-check with real computations
- I negotiate price and terms for you, in writing
First-time buyer?
I'll walk you through the whole process in a 30-minute call. Free, walang obligasyon.
Sell at the right price, to a buyer who can close.
I price from actual recent sales nearby, prepare the property to show well, and screen buyers for financing before they visit.
- Free valuation based on recent comparable sales

Inherited property?
I can guide you on extrajudicial settlement and estate tax before we list.

How buying works
From our first call to your new title.
Buying property here has a lot of steps. Here's the path I take every client through, so you always know what comes next.
Timelines vary with financing and the city's Registry of Deeds. Typical ranges shown.
Start with a free call-
Day 1
Step 1: Discovery call
We talk about your goals, timeline, preferred areas and budget. No pressure to decide anything.
Documents: Nothing yet, just your questions
-
Week 1
Step 2: Budget & financing pre-check
We compute your down payment, closing costs and monthly amortisation, and choose between cash, Pag-IBIG or bank financing.
Documents: Valid IDs, TIN, proof of income
-
Weeks 1–3
Step 3: Viewings, in person or on video
I shortlist properties that fit and arrange viewings. I check the title, tax declaration and association dues before you fall in love.
Documents: Copy of title and tax declaration (from seller)
-
Week 3
Step 4: Offer & reservation
I negotiate price and terms. Once agreed, you sign a reservation or Letter of Intent and pay the reservation fee directly to the seller or developer.
Documents: Letter of Intent, reservation agreement
-
Weeks 4–8
Step 5: Loan approval & Contract to Sell
If financing, we submit your loan documents and follow up until the letter of guaranty or approval comes through.
Documents: Loan application forms, bank or Pag-IBIG requirements
-
Weeks 6–10
Step 6: Deed of Absolute Sale & payment
We sign the notarised Deed of Absolute Sale and the balance is released to the seller. I prepare a cost sheet so every peso is accounted for.
Documents: Deed of Absolute Sale, proof of payment
-
1–4 months
Step 7: Taxes, title transfer & turnover
Capital gains tax and documentary stamp tax are paid, the BIR issues the eCAR, and the title is transferred at the Registry of Deeds. Then it's keys in hand.
Documents: eCAR, transfer tax receipt, new title & tax declaration
Areas I cover
I know these streets, the traffic, and which barangays flood.
I live and work in the east side of Metro Manila and Rizal, so I can tell you what the listing photos don't.

Client stories
What families say after the keys are handed over.

-
We were in Riyadh the whole time. Mika did video walk-throughs of four units, checked the title at the Registry of Deeds, and coordinated the SPA with my sister in Cubao. We got the keys on our first visit home.
Joanna R. OFW · Bought a 2BR condo in Cubao, QC -
She priced our house honestly instead of promising a number we wanted to hear. Three serious offers in the first month, and she handled the capital gains tax and title transfer so we didn't have to.
Ramon & Liza T. Sold a house and lot in Marikina Heights -
First-time buyers, zero idea about Pag-IBIG. Mika explained the housing loan step by step, and when our first application stalled she already had a bank option lined up. Walang stress.
Paolo M. Bought a townhouse in Cainta, Rizal -
I wanted a rental unit near the universities that would actually get tenants. She showed me real rental comps, not brochure yields. The studio was leased two weeks after turnover.
Grace L. Investor · Studio unit near Katipunan -
We inherited my lola's house in Kapitolyo and didn't know where to start. Mika explained the extrajudicial settlement and estate tax, found us a buyer, and kept all five siblings updated in one group chat.
Carlo D. Sold an inherited house in Kapitolyo, Pasig
“I never hold your money, and I never push a property I wouldn't buy myself.”
About me
Hi, I'm Mika. I help families buy the home I wish my parents had found sooner.
I grew up in Marikina, the eldest of three, with a dad working in Jeddah. I watched my parents try to buy a house from abroad: missed calls, unclear fees and a title that took years to sort out.
That's why I became a broker. For the past 12 years I've helped families across Quezon City and Rizal buy and sell with the clear, honest guidance mine never had.
Today I work with a small team for documents and photography, but you'll always deal with me directly, from the first call to the day you get your new title.

Questions I get a lot
Straight answers before you commit to anything.
Don't see your question? Send me a message on Viber or WhatsApp, I usually reply within the day.
How much is your commission, and who pays it?
For resale properties the seller usually pays the broker's commission, commonly 3% to 5% of the selling price, agreed in writing before I list. Buyers working with me on resale or developer projects typically pay nothing extra. I'll always tell you upfront, in writing, who pays what.
I'm an OFW. Can I buy without flying home?
Yes. I do live video viewings, send due-diligence documents by email, and coordinate with a family member you name in a Special Power of Attorney (SPA), which you have notarised or consularised abroad. Reservation and down payments go straight to the seller or developer's official account, never to me.
What documents do I need to buy a property?
Usually two valid IDs, your TIN, proof of income (payslips, COE or ITR; for OFWs, your employment contract and remittance records), and marriage certificate if applicable. For a bank or Pag-IBIG loan there are a few more forms, and I'll give you a checklist based on your situation.
Pag-IBIG or bank financing: which is better?
Pag-IBIG often has lower fixed rates and longer terms, which is great for first homes within its loan limits, but approval can take longer. Bank loans are usually faster and can go higher, with rates that reprice after the fixed period. We'll compare actual monthly amortisations for your budget before you decide.
Who pays the taxes and transfer fees on a resale?
By common practice the seller pays capital gains tax, while the buyer pays documentary stamp tax, transfer tax and registration fees, but everything is negotiable and written into the Deed of Absolute Sale. I prepare a cost sheet so there are no surprises at signing.
How long does the title transfer take?
Once taxes are paid and the BIR issues the eCAR, transferring the title at the Registry of Deeds and updating the tax declaration usually takes a few weeks to a few months depending on the city. I track every step and send you updates until the new title is in your name.
