CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY – Filipino Homes, one of the country’s largest real estate networks, will hold a seminar titled “Build Wealth in Real Estate: Essential Strategies for Beginners” on Friday, April 17, 2026, at 1:00 PM at the Mallberry Suites Business Hotel along Limketkai Drive.

The event is one of the most important parts of Filipino Homes' nation-wide campaign to attract and educate future real estate agents. The event is particularly tailored to individuals with no background whatsoever in the real estate business and offers practical guidelines on how to establish oneself in the business and build long‑term wealth.

Qualifications and benefits

Interested applicants must have completed at least 72 college units (equivalent to two years of study). No prior real estate experience is required, and fresh graduates are welcome to apply. A background in sales is considered an advantage, but the program is designed for beginners who are hardworking and willing to learn.

Successful recruits will enjoy a range of benefits, including free online training, a free personal website, a work‑from‑home setup, and a flexible schedule. The role offers unlimited income potential, the opportunity for financial freedom, and travel incentives and rewards for top performers.

A roadmap for beginners

The seminar will cover core topics such as how to launch a career from scratch, how to earn a first six‑figure commission, and how to develop the confidence and momentum needed to succeed. Participants will also learn how to join Filipino Homes’ nationwide network of over 35,000 agents and position themselves as future top performers. The session is tailored to be practical, easy to understand, and immediately actionable.

Industry leader at the helm

Anthony Gerard O. Leuterio, the founder and CEO of Filipino Homes, will be leading the training. He received the title of the 2024 International Realtor of the Year from the United States National Association of Realtors (NAR). This is a landmark event for the Philippine real estate industry, as it signifies his commitment to improving the standards of ethics and professionalism among realtors.

From a modest start in a 16‑square‑meter office, Leuterio has grown Filipino Homes into one of the country’s largest real estate networks, now empowering over 35,000 agents nationwide. His trainees have gone on to close major deals in Cebu, Davao, and Metro Manila – many within their first three months.

A legacy of mentorship

Reflecting on his journey, Leuterio has consistently emphasized the importance of service and continuous learning. “You need to be responsible to your customers by providing the best product, protecting their investments, and supporting them throughout the journey – and beyond,” he said. He also offers a straightforward blueprint for aspiring agents: “Always level up your service, don’t take shortcuts, and prioritize both buyers and sellers. Build connections, especially with fellow Filipinos, and stay up‑to‑date with trends. Most importantly, never stop learning.”

Leuterio views real estate as a powerful economic engine. “Real estate is a multiplier; every house sold supports up to 60 families,” he noted. The seminar will reflect this vision, focusing not just on individual success but on building communities.

Increased opportunities in Northern Mindanao
