Viva Filipino

Rent or buy from a kababayan you can actually call

You know the feeling: the best stay you ever had in Cebu was a condo owned by a Filipino family in Chicago — same time zone for questions, payment in dollars, someone who understood what a balikbayan trip with two kids and four boxes actually looks like.

That's what this page is for: Philippine properties offered by owners living in the US — to stay in, or to buy. No anonymous listings, no overseas customer-service roulette.

Preview: the properties below are sample listings — made up to show how this section will work. Nothing here is a real property and none of it is bookable yet. Real listings open once enough owners join; add yours below.

Own a property back home?

A condo sitting empty between visits, or a house you're ready to sell — list it here for the people most likely to want it: Filipinos abroad who trust another Filipino abroad.

Want first pick when we open?

Join the early list and we'll send new properties as owners come on — plus the practical guides for the trip home.

I am…

Deal directly, verify directly. Bookings and sales here happen between you and the owner — we introduce, we don't broker, and we can't verify ownership or guarantee any transaction. Before sending money to anyone: verify who you're dealing with, ask for documents (title or dues statement for sales, a video walkthrough for stays), and never pay in a way you can't recover if something is wrong.

Why owner-in-the-US matters

Anyone can list a Philippine condo on a global booking site. What you can't get there is an owner who answers at 9 p.m. Eastern, who takes a Zelle transfer, who knows that your mother needs the ground-floor room and that you're arriving with a balikbayan box the size of a refrigerator. That's the whole idea here.

Thinking about the money side of owning property back home? Start with renting out your Philippine condo from the US or, if you're ready to let it go, selling from abroad step by step.
