How to Buy Philippine Real Estate from Las Vegas: OFW & Fil-Am Investor Guide

"I Can't Be There" — Here's How Fil-Ams in Vegas Are Buying Property Back Home Anyway How to Buy Philippine Real Estate from Las Vegas: OFW & Fil-Am Investor Guide Buying real estate in the Philippines while living in Las Vegas is more straightforward than most OFW and Filipino-American investors think — as long as you know the process. In this video, Mitch Razote, CIPS® Certified International Property Specialist and Luxury REALTOR®, Founder of REAL ESTATE ROCKSTARS® and CEO of KW Rockstars Manila, breaks down both paths to ownership: buying pre-selling directly from a developer, and buying on the secondary market from an existing owner. For pre-selling: unit selection, reservation fee (₱20,000–₱50,000 / ~$330–$820), document submission, the Contract to Sell (signed digitally or through a Special Power of Attorney representative in the Philippines), monthly amortization via bank transfer, Remitly, Wise, or PNB, construction monitoring, the Deed of Absolute Sale, and final title transfer with BIR compliance (Documentary Stamp Tax, Transfer Tax, Registration Fees). For secondary market purchases: property sourcing, title due diligence, negotiation, the Deed of Absolute Sale, fund transfer, Capital Gains Tax (6%) and transfer tax coordination, and title registration at the Registry of Deeds. Mitch and Dennis Razote manage execution on the ground in Manila. Jennifer Lee Courtney and Goran Krkic of HomeSmart Encore support clients on the Las Vegas side — together making remote, SPA-based closings clean, legal, and fully manageable from abroad.
