SMDC: A Strategic Partnership for GoRA

We're excited to announce our strategic partnership with SM Development Corporation (SMDC) after an extensive search for a reliable and reputable real estate partner. SMDC stands out as a developer that embodies strong values, reflected in their slogan, "The Home of the Good Guys," which we fully endorse.

Finding the right partner was challenging. We reached out to several developers, many of whom did not respond. One well-established firm contacted us, but ultimately decided we were outside their target area. This was frustrating, especially since we were open to relocating, and we began to lose hope.

Then, we received a message from Team CKC, part of SMDC's Local Brokers Network (LBN). Ma'am Jan, a kind and responsive manager on their team, reached out to us. Her direct and clear communication style, along with her dedication to exceptional service, left a strong impression.

Team CKC is more than just a group of individuals; it’s a team that genuinely cares. Sir CKC, the team leader, provided us with valuable training before our official accreditation. The meticulous organization of the team and Ma'am Jan's responsiveness demonstrate a commitment to excellence that we truly admire.

The SMDC Story: A Shared Vision

Just when we were ready to give up on our search for a partner, Ma'am Jan reached out. Other members from different realty reached out to us to, but the mention of "SMDC" sparked positive memories for our founder, Alianne, who had enjoyed excellent experiences with their Coast and Sea Residences properties.

SMDC's Strengths: Prime Locations and Luxurious Amenities

SMDC properties are strategically located and feature impressive amenities. For example, Coast Residence offers stunning views of the Star City Ferris Wheel and a luxurious, hotel-like lobby. Similarly, Sea Residences, Tower A, boasts breathtaking views of the Mall of Asia Globe while providing an upscale atmosphere. These prime locations, near major attractions and transportation hubs, are perfect for investors seeking rental opportunities.

The Future is Bright

We are enthusiastic about our partnership with SMDC, a company that aligns with our values of integrity, service, and excellence. We believe this collaboration will open doors to new opportunities and deliver outstanding results for our clients.

We’d love to hear your thoughts on SMDC properties. Share your feedback, and let’s discuss how we can leverage this partnership together!
