FROM its humble beginnings in 2018, this homegrown realty group is now emerging as one of Davao’s top realties with its growing members who are now becoming top real-estate professionals.
Pinoy Estate Realtors, founded by power couple Jarvie Harlem Gantalao and Julie Ann Mercado-Gantalao, began with less than 20 members in 2018.
“We started small. During the global pandemic, we conducted a series of intensive training in Tagum City, Mati City, and Davao City. When the pandemic ended, the realty grew so much to a level we never expected,” Jarvie shared, adding it all started when he and his wife decided to build a team after they got married in 2017.
Rooted in its purpose of helping individuals who are determined to try their fate in the challenging yet bullish real estate industry, Pinoy Estate Realtors prides itself on their group’s Pinoy Estate Realtors.
“As a founder, our highest achievement will be to witness each member become a topseller in the industry,” he added.
With this, the realty organized a recognition and pinning ceremony for its members as a way of acknowledging the hard work and dedication poured in by its members for the past months and years. Dubbed “Gabi ng Parangal”, the event was held at the Grand Regal Hotel in Davao City in August 2023.
Julie Ann, for her part, shared that the recognition is part of career growth which is fully deserved by their members.
“It builds one's self-confidence; it attracts more individuals to join real estate sales; it creates value for members which converts to more client trust, and higher sales volume. Above all, it’s our way of saying their efforts will never go unnoticed,” she said.
She added that a career in the evolving real estate industry is never easy but one can thrive if they maintain an open mind and will to greatness.
“Focus on your real estate career growth by becoming a more equipped and mature real estate business person. It is also important to maintain discipline when motivation is not around. Just always persevere,” the co-founder emphasized.
Pinoy Estate Realtors journey is not always smooth sailing. They’ve been through ups and downs but what kept them standing is their apt mindset and attitude towards adversities.
“I think what helped us grow is our resilience in challenges and consistency in growth. My wife and I always strive to lead the team with the correct mindset and right attitude. We always make it to a point that we mentor and guide each member for their career growth,” Jarvie said.
As the realty continues to grow, Jarvie said, they target to end the year with P2 billion sales in booked units.
“We are always in the business of creating opportunities for the members to expand their business and network. The clients of our members can also be assured that whenever they deal with us, it’s guaranteed that they are talking to the right people who can make their dream homes and spaces come true,” Jarvie said.
