FAQs

1. How can I contact iProperty ?

You can contact us by E-Mailing us at info@iProperty.com. Please also see our "About Us page for more information.

2. What role does iProperty have in all of this ?

Simply put, we act like an Online Marketing agent/broker for your Philippine Real estate needs. We actively promote this site (and therefore all the listings and brokerages listed) to several Philippine and international search engines and directories (like Google and Yahoo and Yehey).

If you are selling an item (like a property, house, etc), we act as your agent or broker in trying to sell your item. We find the leads, we answer simple questions from potential buyers and pass them on to you for you to close the deal. We also provide you the means of adding your own item(s) to be published on our site. If you are a broker, you can add all your listings if you want.

If you are buying an item, then we offer you the easiest way to search for the best item you are looking for. We have our unique "Buyer's Wizard" that allows you to narrow down to a specific item you are interested in by your budget, the item's location and other features. We just don't list items like other sites, we give you all the tools to find what items you want easily!

Listings can come from anywhere in the Country... from Luzon to Mindanao and in all major cities including Manila, Cebu, Davao, Baguio, Bohol and more.

3. What is an iProperty Affiliate?

An "Affiliate" is simply a person or organization that has registered with iProperty to be able to list/sell properties on the iProperty website. Affiliates can be single persons or companies, or can be the sellers/property owners themselves, real estate agents/brokers and/or Realtors(R). You can find out more about the affiliate by viewing them through their affiliate codes or through their listings (part of their information is found in their propery listings near the bottom of the page) Affiliates are independent of iProperty and are not employed or contracted by iProperty. The only working relationship is that iProperty lists their properties on the website. If you need to know more about the properties that affiliates list, then you will need to contact the affiliates directly.

1. I am not a Real-Estate Agent or Broker, can I still add my own listing ?

Yes you can! We do require that you register yourself first so that we may be able to contact you in case someone is interested in your item. You have to make sure though that you have the authority to sell the item you are listing (i.e. you are the owner or you have a contract with the owner to sell his/her item)

2. Do I need to pay you if the item is sold through iProperty ?

As of January 2006, we have stopped our original rule of having to pay iProperty a "finder's fee". In other words, post all you can for free! The more listings you have, the better. We would appreciate it though if you could spread the word to your friends and colleagues about our site. If you have a website or mailing list or even your calling card, please place our URL (www.iProperty.com) on it for us.

3. What happens if I close the deal and am able to sell the item through your site ?

Once this happens, you will need to inform us of the sale by emailing us at info@iProperty.com as we would also like to know how well our site is doing. I'm sure you would also like to tell us of your good fortune. :) Note that as of January 2006, we do not require a finder's fee to be paid to us. Remember to treat this website as your site! Spread the word (and your listings) to all your friends!

4. I want to have a special listing or deal with you, how can I arrange this ?

We welcome any special deals or arrangements with you (i.e. if you are a broker/realtor). Please e-mail us at info@iProperty.com with your proposal and we'll get back to you as soon as we can.

5. I want my listing to be priotized and be featured or located in a specific page in the site. Can this be arrange?

We welcome any listing to be featured. Please contact us for more details about the payment schemes and the terms and condition

6. Can i advertise on this site?

We welcome any sort of advertisement. Please contact us for more details about the payment schemes and the terms and condition

1. How many listings do you have right now ? Are they accurate ?

The number of listings available on our site varies a lot because it depends on the Agents who add and remove their listings on their own time. It is also as accurate as what the Agents enter (we do check from time to time if there are any listings that are invalid or are unclear and notify the Agent of such).

2. Are the prices shown still negotiable ?

If you click on the item details, you will see a note whether the price is negotiable or not. Usually though, they are negotiable.

3. How can I ask for more information about the item I am interested in ?

You can click on the "More" or Inquire button. A page will appear where you can enter your question about the property. An email will then be sent automatically to the Affiliate in charge of the listing and iProperty as necessary.

4. I want to purchase now! How do I go about it?

The easiest way is to notify your intention of purchasing an item by clicking on the "Info" or "Buy!" button in the listing page. In order to send an enquiry, one must register as a member/user of iProperty. Simply register and you can connect to all of our affiliates. The enquiries that you send will notify iProperty and the responsible affiliate of your intention and they will contact you as soon as possible. If you have problems contacting the affiliate (i.e. email bounces or no replies from the affiliate within a reasonable amount of time), please contact us at info@iproperty.com so we can give you more information about how to contact the affiliate directly.
