A newly-sealed partnership between APAC Realty, a leading Singapore-based real estate services provider under the ERA brand, and Philippine firm Upper Room Realty, opens a game changing track in Philippine property through a wider regional network of resources in investments, brokerage, and vital services as valuations. 

The partnership forms the ERA Philippines which was launched with agreement signing rites and held on May 4 at the Manila House in BGC, Taguig City.

The agreement makes the Philippines as the 13th country in the Asia Pacific portfolio, and the 40th, globally. 



It allows Upper Room Realty to operate ERA member broker offices in Metro Manila for an initial 15-year period. 

ERA Philippines Chief Agency Officer Bobby Kok outlined the thrusts of the Philippine franchise which initially focuses on residential developments such as condominiums, apartments, strata townhouses, and house and lots. 

Mr. Kok also shared his commitment to see the Philippines take up its position in the thriving property market.  

He said: “Over time, we have witnessed the vast potential of the Philippines, and we are determined to see it soar to new heights of success. We envision the Philippines not only as a thriving market but also as a global trading post, connecting diverse economies and cultures.” 



Mr Kok added: “We are fully committed to leveraging this opportunity to create a dynamic global marketplace.”
