Asia’s fastest-growing property portal now in the Philippines

Since starting operations earlier this year, the Dot Property Group’s Philippines website—www.dotproperty.com.ph—has witnessed phenomenal growth by allowing property owners and real-estate agents to list their properties for sale and rent for free. 

Established in Singapore in 2013, the Dot Property Group is Asia’s leading connected property-portal group, operating property-portal websites in Southeast Asia that helped countless local and international property seekers who are actively seeking their next home to buy or rent.

Dot Property Philippines is the most recent addition to the company’s growing network. The Group sees huge potential in the country, given the always-online lifestyle of its target market who find the internet to be the most accessible tool in looking for the perfect piece of property.

Alva Horgan, managing director for emerging and frontier markets for the Dot Property Group, noted that the Philippines has a population of more than 100 million people and the 13th largest internet audience in the world. Half of the population is 25 years old and younger and, thus, more likely to be tech-savvy. Internet use in the Philippines is more than 45 percent of the total population, which counts for almost half of the population.

The growing number of young professionals will be a source of future demand for residential properties. They will be searching online in greater numbers, and www.dotproperty.com.ph is aiming to be their single source of information.

“There’s a great opportunity for the Dot Property Group to further establish [itself] as the preferred choice for consumers when it comes to buying or renting property, or looking for market intelligence,” Horgan said.

“Since [its establishment], Dot Property Philippines has already signed some of the country’s leading property developers, real-estate agents, and other companies, and that number continues to grow on a daily basis,” she added.

Early this year, the Dot Property Group appointed Tanya Peralta-Yu as the Philippines country manager. She will oversee all aspects of the Group in the Philippines, including day-to-day operations and promoting the company’s rapid expansion within the online portal market, both among consumers and advertisers.

Horgan said Yu’s appointment comes at a pivotal time for the Group, with the explosive growth of its business not only in the Philippines and the region, but also the world.

Two of the major drivers for the growth of the Dot Property Group are the useful resources it provides to enable property searchers to find their next home with ease, and the seller-friendly features, including free and easy uploading of property listings.

Real-estate agents and developers can maximize their opportunities to showcase listings and generate real sales enquiries, while property seekers can search and filter a comprehensive selection of the available properties.

Dot Property Philippines’s listings includes houses, condominiums, villas, land, foreclosures, and commercial spaces for sale and rent.
