THE SELLER PATH

How to sell a home in the Philippines

Seven steps from paperwork to a signed deed — each with the guide that explains it and the tool that does the work. Buying instead? The buyer path.

1. 1

   Settle the papers first

   Title, tax receipts, IDs — and if you are selling for family, the SPA or estate settlement has to be done before a buyer can take title.

2. 2

   Price from evidence

   Estimate against the city's ₱/m² band, check the sold feed for real closes, and leave honest room for negotiation.

3. 3

   Prepare the home and the photos

   Declutter, daylight, the honest strong-room-first gallery — the photo set is your first viewing.

   Publish a complete listing

   Real floor area, honest flood zone, payment options — complete listings rank and convert measurably better.

   Work the enquiries

   Reply inside a day (your response time is public), confirm viewings through the panel, and follow up once — politely.

6. 6

   Negotiate and take earnest money right

   Offers and counters flow through the panel; earnest money only ever moves against a signed acknowledgement.

7. 7

   Close and transfer

   Notarised deed of sale, your CGT within 30 days, the buyer's DST and transfer — then mark the listing sold so watchers know it closed.

This path is orientation, not legal or financial advice — the Registry of Deeds and a property lawyer are the authorities on your specific sale.
