Primary Homes raffles off house and lot to brokers


CEBU, Philippines - Primary Homes, Inc. (PHI) is known in Cebu as a reliable 

developer of residentialprojects, but to its accredited brokers and agents it is 

also the most generous developer.

During its annual Grand Partner’s Night, PHI raffled off a house and lot to one 

lucky and deserving broker or agent. From 2008 to 2011, PHI has already 

given away 4 houses from its own developments to Jo Jamero of LINC Realty 

(2008), Joann Perez-Mosote of Polaris Realty & Development (2009), Gilda 

Villaceran of 

Land Asia Realty (2010), and Germaine Ouano of Asset Investments (2011).

Jamero and Ouano were quite surprised when it was announced that they had 

won the grand prize since both of them never believed in luck and raffles. 

Ouano really felt that luck was on her side that night since she has never 

won anything in her life until the 2011 Partner’s Night, while Jamero was 

quite out of it that the emcee had to call his name thrice to get him up the 

stage.

On the other hand, both Perez-Mosote and Villaceran were very grateful to 

God for such a blessing. Perez-Mosote, who had already won minor prizes 

from PHI in the years before, was still quite stunned that she literally fell to 

the floor when her name was called. Villaceran said that she felt good to be 

recognized for her hard work and considers the house and lot as the best recognition. 

Aside from PHI’s generosity, all four of them truly believe in the quality and 

reliability of a Primary Homes development. They all emphasized on the 

importance of selling real estate from a trusted and reliable developer. 

Jamero believes that “you should benchmark yourself (in this industry) and 

what you sell is a reflection of who you are.” He also adds that a reliable 

developer is good business since it makes you want to sell the product.

Villaceran and Ouano both agree that a reliable developer delivers on the 

promise and it won’t be a problem promising the best investment to your 

client. “You won’t be embarrassed to present PHI developments to your 

clients because you’re sure of its quality,” Ouano added.

Perez-Mosote considers PHI as the best developer because it recognizes their 

efforts and is quite generous to their sales partners.

Primary Homes will continue to take care of their accredited brokers and 

agents who the company considers as their partners and the driving force of 

the company’s sales. As long as these brokers and agents perform their best, 

PHI will continue to offer generous incentives to those who deserve it. The 

next Grand Partner’s Night will be held on November 2012. (FREEMAN)
