What is the best way to search for homes in Philippines?

"There are 4 main ways to find places - Facebook, online realty ads, word of mouth and driving around. There is no MLS per se here. Like other developing countries the real estate is often repped by many people trying for a sale. Going around the agent (all are called Brokers here) is not uncommon (but IMO dishonorable as hell). Unlike N America the introducing "Broker" (who is most times not a career specialist anyway) is not really involved in much more than the back and forth on pricing. After that its lawyer time," said another expat in Iloilo, Philippines.

"Expats can search for homes in the Philippines by looking online for real estate listings, contacting a local real estate agent, or searching for expat-specific housing websites. They can also look for expat forums or Facebook groups to get advice from other expats who have already gone through the process of finding a home in the Philippines. Additionally, expats can look for classified ads in local newspapers or online to find potential homes," wrote a member who made the move to Philippines.
