(Preview) Living in a 40 Million Peso Condo Unit in Golden Empire Tower Manila

7/27/2015

0 Comments

Oh I had a taste of luxury and wealth the other day when I visited this very cozy unit of Golden Empire Tower, one of the high-end condominium properties along Roxas Boulevard, Manila.

Towering at 57-storeys, Golden Empire Tower affords its residents prestige, exclusivity, hard-to-beat views, and luxuriously living spaces.

The living room of this 40 million property gives you a breathtaking view of Manila Bay. Can you imagine yourself hosting a little party for your family and friends here?! That would be lovely especially during sunset. In my case, I am putting that on my bucket list!

Ohh don't forget to check the million dollar view from the bathtub!

DAY22: I recently visited a 40 million peso property along Roxas Blvd and one of the things I love is the grand bathroom with the bathtub overlooking #Manila Bay. It would be nice to live in a property like this someday! #40daysofgreatness #lgg4 #sssforlgg4 @lgphilippines □□□ #HouseHopper mode for #DrivenOLG! I never thought #RealEstate in the #Philippines will be this interesting. □ #solesearchingsoul @digitalfilipino #TAAP #digitalFilipino #Driven

A video posted by Sole Searching Soul (@msappleallison) on Jul 29, 2015 at 8:44am PDT

Golden Tower stands as the pinnacle of elegance, continues to impress a steady stream of discerning buyers, and remains to be the most luxurious residence in this side of Manila.

Designed like a golden ship's prow pointed to the sky, it is also the flagship development of Moldex Realty that glistens above historic Roxas Boulevard aside from the newly turned-over Grand Riviera Suites.

Most of the unit owners here are Filipino millionaires and expats too. It seems like Golden Empire is their own palace in Manila.

The interiors exudes the
classical ambiance and even the hallway makes you feel like walking in a palace.

If you need more information about this high-end condominium unit and other luxury properties, you may contact me through my mobile number 0917 739 8227 or email apple@solesearchingsoul.com so that I can connect you with the right real estate broker and licensed agent who can help yo secure your own palace in Metro Manila!

How to Go to Liora Homes in Cavite? Let Me Show You the Direction through Google Map

7/22/2015

0 Comments

If you think Cavite is far, think about. With new alternative roads and expressways, it's now possible to work in Metro Manila and have your home in one of the development projects by MyCitiHomes.

Check this Google Map for estimate time of travel from SM MoA to Liora Homes. Based on my several site trips, it usually takes 1 hour on a good day and 75 minutes is a realistic travel time already.

Liora Homes is one of the most sought after properties now in Cavite because of its strategic location and affordable monthly amortization which can go as low as Php 6,272 only. This rate is expected to go high once the construction of Cavite–Laguna Expressway (CALAX) has started that's why I highly recommend you join us a FREE SITE TRIP soon so that you can actually see the project.

If ever you like this community, you can reserve your unit for Php 5,000! I am excited to witness their move-in fiesta sometime this August/September. Click here to read check the most recent photos I took during my site trip.

CONTACT ME at 0917 739 8227 if you're interested to know more about LIORA HOMES so that I can give you more info and forward your questions or inquiries to the right agent who will assist you.
Feel free to message me so that I can also send the sample computation or arrange a FREE Site Tripping for you.

3 Benefits of Real Estate Blogging and Why You Should Give it a GO!

7/19/2015

It was sometime in April 2015 when Ms.Janette Toral, my E-Commerce and CBSME mentor, asked me if I'm interested to try Property Blogging. I said yes and accepted the challenge. So far I'm enjoying the learning experience and I'm starting to reap some benefits too aside from the fact that I'm able to help Filipino families to find the right property for them.

1. INCREASE WEBSITE TRAFFIC - As of today, I can attribute 1/3 of my traffic from my house hopper blog page. It’s nice to see that my page visits and users are constantly increasing since I started property blogging over the summer. My organic and search engine referrals are also higher compared before. Why does it matter? Well, for those with Google Adsense and other ads on their blogs, you know that it can mean additional revenue when you rank higher because of your high traffic. My blog visitors are also checking different posts so they stay longer in my blog.

2. HOUSE INSPIRATION - I’ve visited more than 20 properties since I started my House Hopper blog page and I never thought that site trips would be that enriching. I love checking different house models especially the dressed-up unit where I get interior design inspirations. Somehow, it also reminded me of my childhood dream of becoming an engineer. Even though I didn’t pursue that track, I’m happy that because of property blogging, I get to visit construction sites, see different houses and buildings as if I’m their supervising engineer. hehe ;-)

3. PERKS & REWARDS - Yes, we all know that blogging is passion and being able to share our stories to others is already a rewarding experience but a big plus on the fact that you can earn from it too!

Well, aside from the monetary reward, the fun and excitement during site trips are priceless. I also made new friends and learn more about other people like how they strive to have their own house. Sometimes, we also have fan mode moments. There was an instance we saw a celebrity outside her posh house when we visited an upscale community.

BE ONE OF THE DRIVEN OLG BLOGGERS

As one of the Driven Online Lead Generators and bloggers, you have 3 potential ways to earn extra for your needs by just blogging about different properties. If you are interested, message me so that I can explain it to you. You may contact me through my Facebook Page or email apple@solesearchingsoul.com.
You may also call / text my mobile # 0917 739 8227. I'll be happy to assist you.

How do I avail a Pag-Ibig Loan?
I just started working, can I already file for a loan?
Can I still apply for a loan if I have an outstanding loan as a co-borrower?

These are just some of the frequently asked questions to me by some of my House Hopper Readers so I decided to share something about PAG-IBIG HOUSING LOAN. I hope you'll find this post helpful.
