RE/MAX Philippines expands network with the opening of new offices in Cebu Two of the province’s leading businessmen turn to RE/MAX to take advantage of the property boom in the area

Cebu City, September 24, 2018 – RE/MAX, the world’s leading franchisor of real estate brokerage services, has opened two new offices in Cebu in response to the strong economic growth being experienced by the province. Cebu-based businessmen Harry Morris and Von Jeric Tima-an have each opened a RE/MAX office to gain access to the Company’s 45 years of global brand recognition and operational expertise especially in the areas of recruitment and training of top agents.

RE/MAX was founded in 1973 by Dave and Gail Liniger, with an innovative, entrepreneurial culture affording its agents and franchisees the flexibility to operate their businesses with great independence. Over 120,000 agents provide RE/MAX a global reach of more than 100 countries and territories.

“We are delighted to welcome Harry and Von to the RE/MAX family,” said Kenneth Stern, Country Manager of RE/MAX Philippines. “They will have the full support of the entire RE/MAX global network to ensure success in the rapidly expanding Cebu property market.”

The boom in Cebu’s real estate industry is fueled by several factors such as the growth in the local information technology and business process outsourcing (IT-BPO) sector, boost in tourism and the increase in remittances and investments of Overseas Filipino Workers. All of these factors translate to a lot of first-time homebuyers.  

“There’s a lot of infrastructure and property development happening in Cebu not only in the local CBD’s but in neighboring areas such as Talisay, Minglanilla and Naga in the south, and Consolacion and Liloan in the north. Joining RE/MAX will give us a competitive edge in marketing all these new developments and in showcasing these potential investment opportunities to both local and foreign investors,” said Von Jeric Tima-an of RE/MAX Pro.

Cebu property values are also projected to continue their upward trend, which make for ideal investment opportunities.

“We want to be fully equipped to meet the influx of investors as we are seeing many areas in Cebu where the value of some properties could double in the next five years. And with the industry constantly evolving, we partnered with RE/MAX to stay ahead of the curve,” said Harry Morris of RE/MAX Properties.

With the opening of the two new offices, RE/MAX Philippines now has 27 franchises and more than 200 brokers and associates nationwide. Founded in 2012, RE/MAX Philippines aims to change the country’s Real Estate landscape by offering its affiliates the strength of the RE/MAX brand, its unparalleled live-training events and 24/7 online continuing education programs, the vast RE/MAX global network, and all the necessary tools and information an agent needs.
