Philippine Real Estate Broker

Despite being a new player in an industry that is in its biggest boom in thirty years, Legacy Ventures has from the get-go caught the local market by being the first bank-guaranteed real estate investment in the country.

Far from being one of the many fly-by-night companies that claim to be developers, Legacy Ventures caters to a niche that values premium properties and practical city living. Significant is the pioneering legacy it is giving its homeowners: guarantees that were designed to respond to the emerging risks of the current real estate boom:

• Property appreciation in one year
With the current market boom, the trend for prime waterfront developments, and Legacy Venture’s partnership with Philtrust Bank as insurance, Sentosia homeowners are assured of profitable returns from their investment. If a resident’s home at Sentosia does not appreciate in a year from time of turn-over, Legacy Ventures guarantees to buy it back!

• Turn-over within six months
Sentosia has none of the risks inherent in developers that pre-sell and lack the capital to finish their own projects. Homeowners at Sentosia are guaranteed turn over within six months or Legacy Ventures pays them the interest until completion!

• Real estate ownership for expats
Sentosia’s horizontal condominium concept makes real estate ownership possible for expats.. Through a Condominium Certificate of Title that allows co-ownership of land, expats may finally have a home in the Philippines.

Practical city living. Sentosia is characterized by premium, bay built novel condominiums.

It is believed that with the proper orientation of one’s house or business premises, one is able to harmonize with nature and relate to the physical surrounding favorably to attract desirable cosmological influences. That is what I learned as a licensed real estate broker in the nineties. As part of the tools of trade, I underwent a basic orientation of Feng-Shui under a Japanese Geomancer. A few Filipinos believe in the art of geomancy and it helps if I had a little knowledge on the matter. I’ve forgotten all about Feng-shui since I stopped my real estate career (I will talk about this in another entry). Besides, I’m not Chinese and feng-shui shouldn’t rule my life or dictate my dream home.

When we were house-hunting, I prayed that God would lead our family to the home we desired. For every failed attempt, I believed that the property was not meant to be. I didn’t want to be ruled by Feng-Shui. What truly amazed me with the property is that the owner followed the Feng-shui layout principles. The most surprising fact of all was that the house direction is West which is my ideal or favorable orientation.

Let me explain by this “Cohesive” diagram . I am a “Cock” based on the Chinese Calendar, being born 1957. Looking at the diagram, my favorable orientation is West followed by NNE or SSE (Follow the corners of the triangle to find the orientation).

I told my husband that the added bonus seems to be that based on Feng-Shui principles, our new home will bring us harmony. I now recall that our first home also had the “West” Orientation. We were happy in our old home. Coincidence?

So what is an unfavorable direction for me?
