Making Real Estate Easy with HOPPLER

Got invited to the Hoppler launch in Makati. Apparently, they’ve got a better business deal for anyone who has a knack in the real estate property business. Property listings are by the thousands each day and not everyone gets the slice of the cake. Hoppler actually makes it easy to get everything online for you.

Alvier Marqueses the Marketing Manager of Hoppler says “We started 2014 as a startup. Getting leads as brokerage firm, we saw potential in mass producing what we do. We employed brokers once but our operations cost increased, so we opened this to external partner business to grow our own business. We are an online brokerage firm and we have a lot of things in store for you, we also show that there are real people behind our partners. This is the latest in real estate.”

Ramon Gonzalez the COO of Hoppler says “We are an online property brokerage, digitizing the local brokerage industry and we engage in clients and brokers. These days it’s hard to find properties and we have lots of buyers. Hoppler wants you to find both. We are not a subscriber based listing, we do not limit listings and even have listing programs for incentives to those who have a lot of them on our app. We spend a lot in marketing it, we give you leads and help in converting it as a sale and we are excited to bring more brokers to our platform. We are coming out with a whole year of events so our partners could make more money. We are coming out with series of seminars on real estate laws to improve knowledge of our brokers."

He adds "We are focusing on prime properties now but in the next few years we will expand metro-wide, mega manila wide so we enjoin partner brokers to join us now. We do not also do multiple listings so in a way we also protect consumers and brokers, we build relationships, properly document everything. If a broker already posted the property, you won’t have competition. Right now we have client services so we call and verify each property and we treat each case differently, it’s a lead generating platform that has a brokerage arm, it’s why we’re different. We are now live at www.hoppler.com.ph and we are concentrating in properties in Makati, BGC and Alabang. We’re mostly a brokerage firm but have trust based systems, we meet them face to face and you’ll see people in every property managed. You will find us ranking high in searches, and we have closed deals.”

Partner Broker Jeffrey Sanchez testifies “It only takes a few minutes to list a property and you can expect verification and calls in like 2-3 days because Hoppler has a lot of clients. If we close deals our share is 50/50 with Hoppler but it’s very easy. I prefer going to the website more than the app but if I need to do minor edits it’s also easy to make changes. With Hoppler I don’t have to make an effort because they already have a lot of active users, leads are easy, even more if it’s a prime property. With hard work and a vision, it will complement what you are currently doing right now with what existing real estate business you have. Here you have leads and qualified clients and brokers even share their success stories, you learn a lot talking and meeting people with different backgrounds, but they know they can trust people in the site because of the safety measures they’ve set in every transaction.”

Follow their Facebook page HopplerPH if you want to know more. This would apply to licensed and non licensed brokers. It’s an open invitation for everyone who wants to earn more. Remember, with Hoppler you can list properties with exclusivity, receive quality and qualified leads. You can also have access to their Kumita dashboard and join exclusive training and events, where else can you have that?

I thought so.

The property sector in the Philippines is really getting busy. The boom everyone is anxiously waiting for is actually happening now, whilst some don't even know it. The economy is improving and people are actually earning relatively more than the previous years. Investing in this area has always been a really good thing to do, a bit of frustration comes when the issue of trust and confidence comes into play. We're talking about a great amount of money, if that wouldn't be something to be careful about then I don't know what else would. In the Philippines, there's one place everyone trusts when it comes to getting property online. 

Have you heard of www.Property24.com.ph? I've written about them a couple of months back here. Backed by one of the most trusted online selling portals in the world OLX.PH, Property24 has been able to establish itself as the go to resource for finding House and Lots, Condominiums, Apartments, Farms, Commercial and Industrial properties, Developments and Foreclosed properties in the Philippines. It also covers some developed African countries, listed some major cities in the Philippines and they even ask you if you want to see them all too.

The site can also accommodate and refine your search if you have a specific budget to work with just by indicating the minimum and maximum price. They can also indicate how many rooms, bathrooms they plan to have and the type of property they are looking for. As for the quality of listings, Property24 makes sure you won't be wasting time seeing unverified ones as everything goes through a strict screening process and applies the same strategies in other countries since they've been doing this for years now. They also employ point systems so you get to see reputable ones from those who are not. For brokers, agencies or  developers, this would be a dream too because you don't have to go out that much in the sun or rain in selling or renting properties anymore. Just imagine, 16 Million views a month would expose your listings and your brands with your target market. They'd also be cross posting this to OLX.PH, be seen in proprietary apps in iOS and Android. It will definitely spell your success. This would also be perfect for those planning to transfer to non flooding areas which we've seen these past few days.

To make your Property24 experience even better, the number 1 property website is launching a Twitter promo. You can get the chance to win an overnight stay in a 5-star hotel, isn't that neat? All you need to do is Follow the official Property24 Philippines Twitter account @Property24PH, find your perfect home in www.Property24.com.ph and tweet "I found #MyPerfectHome here: (URL of the listing)" and tag @Property24PH on Twitter. Your privacy settings must be set to public so they could see it. You can also tweet 10 times a day. This means that the more entries you make, the more chances of winning. They will also be giving away 5 consolation prizes aside from that 5-star hotel stay mentioned earlier. Just read the fine print below and you're good to go.

Finding your dream home shouldn't be complicated. It's easy when you use the website, iOS or Android app by Property24. I've used this a ton of times when friends ask me to find them a place near my neighborhood. If you're in the hunt for one, maybe this is the opportune time to do it. Investment wise, it's always a smart choice. It only takes a few minutes to see why Property24 is the number one resource to find your dream home, take a tour and don't just take my word for it.
