WHY BUY PHILIPPINE PROPERTIES FROM US?
Barlin International Group is a subsidiary of Barlin & Associates (a firm that sells US properties) that was formed in 1998. BIG was created to assist and aid local community homebuyers who are interested in purchasing second homes outside the US, particularly in Asia, Europe and the Americas. BIG is operated and owned by one of the most successful Filipino-Americans, Susan Barlin.
Now being the fastest growing international real estate group in Southern California, BIG is well known as the retirement and second home specialist. With hundreds of retirement destinations to choose from, BIG is creating a lifestyle for its clients’ retirement years to be luxurious at an affordable price whether they retire in Manila, Makati, Quezon City, Laguna, Subic, Batangas, Davao, Cebu, or any destination in the Philippine archipelago.
Currently BIG is exerting more effort to uplift the status of the economy in the Philippines, thus the birth of BIG’s 5-Year Economic Recovery Plan for the Philippines. This is participated upon by our partners like Filinvest Land, Federal Land, State Properties, Robinsons Land, Aboitiz Land, Swire Land and Commonwealth Land, among others.
The 5-Year Economic Recovery Plan is patterned from the economic structure of the US, where the strength of the economy is supported by the strength of the real estate industry and its attractiveness to foreign investors. “Through real estate sales, we can groom the Philippines as a retirement and/or a second home destination not only to the Filipinos who migrated overseas but also to foreign parties,” adds Barlin.
“If one buys a real estate property, there will be more demand for new homes and developers. Also, they would buy home appliances, furniture and more. In effect, factories will produce more and hire more people to meet these demands. There will also be new businesses when foreign property buyers come into the Philippines”, she explains.
The Philippines had also experienced brain drain. Barlin predicts that when more people from western countries such as the US intend to live and/or retire in the Philippines, the Filipino nation will increase its brainpower.
Currently, BIG is aiming towards growth with regards to international expansion in order to cater to the specific needs and requests of clients both in the US and around the world. As Barlin believes, “younger generations go to the West to earn more money. The older generation go to where they can spend less and live life to the fullest.” This is the market Barlin wants to cater whether it be for retirement or for a second home making the Philippines the ultimate retirement destination of Asia.
