Many are in one thought of acquiring a real estate or property here in our country. Many are enthusiastic enough to own a property for them to live, where their family could feel the full protection, satisfaction, on their range of budget and of what they always perceive- Adequate Shelter for the Family.

But the question is, “what is the right thing to do? “, or “What should a buyer or a seller must consider in dealing with selling and buying a property?” As part of our duty to all of you our avid viewers, we have this excerpt from our national laws, regarding the buying a real estate here in the Philippines.

The SELLER pays for the:

  • Capital Gains Tax equivalent to 6% of the selling price on the Deed of Sale or the
  • Transfer Fee is ½ of 1% of Selling Price or Market Value of Tax Declaration, whichever is higher.

For BUYERS to remember before buying or closing the deal:

  • Make sure the “Transfer Certificate of Title” is authentic.
  • Verify that title is clean – meaning the property is not mortgaged (no liens & encumbrances on the property).
  • Make sure that the land described on the title is really the land that you are buying.
  • Make sure that the sellers are the real owners.
  • Confirm that the yearly real estate taxes are paid.

These may be simple and absurd for those people who are not inline with this process in real estate. But these are a must and to be done well to gain a complete and just process in acquiring a property. Each party must serve and function accordingly. Each must coordinate to each other parties.

Here in CDO, since this real estate is booming and vast in need for, this guide is a help for everyone who would like to own a property. Even us in RPM Realty, we encounter lots of experiences, with this situation. Therefore, it seems, we are obliged also to educate or even just to disseminate this information to everybody.

We are just repeating what our national laws are stating. But we are in deep aim, that all of you will get something from this article. It is our vision and mission to provide you, not only the best, but the right and fitted property for you and your family here in Cagayan De Oro City.

Your family is the core of our service, and you are the center of our goal- to have a family shelter, harmoniously, and that is on your expectation and financial stability.

Not only that, there were two people, who are broker already, who joined the CPE, since they were not able to complete their CPE units for their license renewal. For the exact schedule and topics discussed, here are the details:

If I were to be asked, “What is the greatest laughter in your life?” I would say, “It is when I was recognized as a mother and to be one of the right group-that is having the faith and guidance of God.”


All of us would feel the same happiness once we are being part or recognize of something we want or desire for. Just like of what our city this time. At first from a very simple yet livable condition and now is on its great name and fame.


Looking back with its history, our city received its recognition to be a CITY by making this Republic Act No. 7670. This acts declared that June 15 as a special non-working holiday public holiday in Cagayan de Oro City; also known as Cagayan de Oro Charter Day. To have full information of this Republic Act No. 7670: I have here the excerpt from Chan Robles Virtual Law Library.


Section 1: Cagayan de Oro was created as a city on June 15, 1950 by virtue of Republic Act No. 521.

Section 2: June Fifteen of every year is hereby declared a special non-working public holiday in Cagayan de Oro to be known as Cagayan de Oro City Charter Day.

Section 3: This Act shall take effect upon its approval.


This is an evident that our city was not made by just a spit of a tongue by any one in the area. But it is legally made, and pursued by our legislators and city officials. And it makes us proud ever since when it was declared. It is our honor to have our very own City of Golden Friendship.  It is not only us here who are treasuring the beauty and abundance of our area; there are lots also of inhabitants who are coming from our nearby cities, provinces and even countries. As they usually say, “Cagayan de Oro is really portraying the friendship acts to each visitor. Even Cagay-anons are that friendly and hospital!” And this will be our pride to all of them. This is the city that we can boast to every stranger we would meet.


In response to this, our city officials and government employees mainly in Cagayan de Oro City Hall, Capitol, and those other offices, once again gathered in Gaston Park area yesterday and early this morning.  Also just this afternoon at SM Mall they held a program featuring Ceasar Montano as their guest; who was also promoting his album. The other event which was held this morning was the JOB FAIR, which was held beside City Hall area, fronting Katryns bakeshop. That was rushed by lots of applicants in different fields of courses and people in different skills and qualifications.  This was to in act the thanks giving of our CDO for being a booming city here in Mindanao. It was participated by different establishments as well, as their chance to widen their market and reach those people who would surely be participating on the said event.


In behalf of numbers of inhabitants now in the City of Cagayan de Oro, we, in CDO Realty people and staffs, would like to thanks those local or city officials who made our CDO to be not only a city but a KNOWN CITY in the country! And for the present Major and city officials now in CDO, thank you for the effort and perseverance just to make this celebration be done, just today WELL.

Independence Day 2011It has been centuries ago since our country had experienced the freedom it has been longing for. It has been a palpable moment in our national events, which we used to celebrate yearly. Thus, we, in Cagayan de Oro, we observed this celebration also. It is an evident to all of us that our city is also acquired and still partake this independence. All of the learning institutions here in CDO were in one theme with this event last Sunday, June 12, 2011.

One of those establishments also, which joined the celebration was the SM Mall. I went to the area yesterday and observed how different people in different tribes or races, as well, who spent their time at SM Mall. The SM management organized an event there for the said celebration and had put a big Philippine map on the rotunda area.  There were also on costumes people on every Philippine area or province she/he is representing with. That is to show to all of us that, regardless of which race/s we came from, we are all Filipinos in blood, faith and culture as a whole.

We also here in CDO, we are having that freedom and realization. We also have that freedom of being not only Cagay-anons in CDO or Cagayan de Oro, but also CDO in heart and faith that- Christ dominating on us. That what makes our City of Smile more abundant in wealth, riches and good fate in terms of architecture, businesses and fame in any ways!

We would like also to inform or remind every Cagay-anons for our Foundation Day, which is fast approaching! See you on this successful event would be!
