This app was initially created for our own marketing efforts, but this can be used any company and licensed Real Estate agent. While, marketers may be allowed to post, you must have an associate PRC-licensed agent for Real Estate listings you post. Normally, PRC-licensed agents really do have marketers and they might be working for their company.
On laws and regulations
We welcome sellers who have looked up our laws since we are still bound by rules of commerce nationwide. This is why this platform is nearly invitation-only for sellers in Real Estate market. Read up on the RESA law.
For car sellers, using the platform is free. The difference with Facebook is we don't allow spam as much as Facebook does. We don't allow scams in this platform. There should be a verification fee but this is waived for many sellers. As of today, the Philippine government has not fined Facebook yet for any violation whatsoever but many countries file lawsuits against Facebook every year due to lack of protection of consumers and violation of privacy laws. It will soon be ineffective to sell and run ads, and target Overseas Filipino Workers due to the fines as countries like the U.K move to ban ads entirely. It's always good to try platforms outside of Facebook. The reason is better visibility. Hotels, for instance, draw most of their traffic from tourism-focused websites.
Mobile apps
We have not released any app on the app stores. This is a disadvantage in a mobile-first market like the Philippines, but we will definitely work on licenses locally to make this possible soon.
Local business focus
We plan to do more of web marketing and have a focus on giving our legitimate local businessmen better visibility through content soon.
The Northern Luzon region is a core focus due to the fact the founder lives in Baguio City, but we may look at what will work on a national level soon.
