As a real estate broker, people often ask me two questions:

Why do you want to build an agency? Why invite other people to become real estate agents like you?

The short answer is simple: because I love what I do.

But the longer answer—the real answer—is rooted in purpose.

Real Estate Is Never Just a Transaction

This profession has given our team a platform to help people in deeply meaningful ways—not just financially, but personally. Every transaction carries a story. Every deal represents a turning point in someone’s life. And being trusted with that moment is something I don’t take lightly.

Just before leaving town for a Christmas holiday with my family—a trip we had planned weeks in advance—I closed a deal on a residential property uptown. It felt like the perfect way to end the year, both personally and professionally.

My client initially wanted to buy a lot. But when I presented a house that was simply too good to pass up, she immediately recognized its value. She decided to purchase it for her daughter, who’s getting married next year.

Her daughter is at the beginning of her life—building a future, starting a family. And in some small but meaningful way, I get to be part of that story. I get to help provide the home where that life will unfold.

At the same time, the seller herself is based abroad and preparing to liquidate her assets here in the Philippines. By helping her sell, I’ve also helped her step into a new chapter—one where she can build a life in another country without the burden of maintaining property back home.

Real estate isn’t just about buying and selling. It’s about people. It’s about transitions. It’s about beginnings—and letting go.

A home may be a basic need. But helping someone secure it is a privilege.

Deals Are Happening—Just Not Through You

Even if you’re doing well in other areas of life right now, you may have noticed something about real estate: deals are happening around you—but not through you.

You probably have a friend, a cousin, a brother, or a sister looking for a home. And if you’re not in the industry, what do you usually do?

You refer them to a real estate agent and hope for the best.

So let me ask you a simple question:

Why not you?

When you’re in real estate, you’re not just referring people—you’re taking responsibility. You’re at the helm. You know your family. You know your friends. You understand their lifestyle, their priorities, their budget. You know what they actually need—not just what’s being sold.

And here’s the truth most people don’t realize:

The commission is just the bonus.

The Real Power of Being in Real Estate

What’s truly powerful about real estate is everything beyond the commission.

You build a network. You become a deal maker. You become a wealth allocator.

You gain access to opportunities before they become public knowledge—simply because you’re inside the ecosystem.

Two of the properties we personally invested in were foreclosed assets: one was a house in a premium subdivision, and the other was a residential lot. Both were acquired well below market value.

We only knew about these opportunities because we were in the industry—we were first to know.

That’s the advantage of being in real estate.

Why We are Building Truly Wealthy Realty

And that brings me to the reason we’re building Truly Wealthy Realty.

We don’t just recruit agents. We partner with people.

We aim to create a platform where more agents get to experience this kind of purpose—where we don’t just close deals, but become part of people’s lives, their milestones, their stories.

Truly Wealthy Realty exists to be a platform for building wealth and influence over the long term. A place where you don’t just earn from transactions—but grow through access, relationships, and shared opportunities.

If deals are already happening around you, maybe it’s time they started happening through you.

And if this resonates— then maybe this journey is for you.

Because this work is meaningful. And that is worth building.
