IQI has strengthened its presence in the Philippines through a strategic partnership with Mapletree Investments Corp, a Metro Manila-based real estate brokerage firm generating more than 1 billion Philippine pesos in annual sales.

The partnership deepens IQI’s footprint in one of Southeast Asia’s most dynamic property markets.

The Philippines receives more than US$5 billion in remittances flowing into property annually, while outbound residential investment is estimated at over US$750 million in 2025.

The market serves both as a destination for foreign investors and as a significant source of cross-border capital.

Juwai IQI Co-Founder and Group CEO Kashif Ansari said the move reinforces IQI’s strategy of strengthening key growth markets across Asia.

“We are establishing our extended country operation in the Philippines in partnership with Mapletree Investments Corp. Mapletree is a Metro Manila-based real estate brokerage firm with a strong local presence and more than 1 billion Philippine pesos in annual sales.”

He said the collaboration enhances IQI’s ability to connect local expertise with global investment flows.

“The partnership further reinforces our footprint in the Philippines and brings a new team of experienced professionals to our network. Most importantly for our global network, which operates extensively with cross-border buyers, the new IQI Philippines will connect local buyers and developers with global investment opportunities and investors.”

Kashif Ansari, Co Founder and Group CEO of IQI.

Ansari added that the Philippines’ extensive overseas Filipino investor base and rising regional investment interest make it strategically aligned with IQI’s cross-border platform.

Juwai IQI Co-Founder and Group Managing Director Daniel Ho said buyer demand in the Philippines has broadened in recent years, with a growing mix of investors and resident expatriates. Foreign buyers are most active in Metro Manila, Cebu and key resort destinations.

He noted that the local housing market is recovering as supply tightens.

“New condo supply will drop by a third in 2026 and by 2028 it will be only about 20% of last year’s level.”

The adjustment in new supply is expected to support market stability and strengthen long-term fundamentals.

As part of the partnership, Christine Dara Ko Saavedra, CEO of Mapletree Investments Corp, has been appointed Country Head of IQI Philippines.

“Mapletree’s decision to join IQI resulted from the desire to align with a world-class team that embodies a high-performance corporate culture,” Saavedra said.

“IQI is one of the largest real estate brokerages born out of Asia and offers an unparalleled network, industry-leading technology, a highly professional team and great culture.”

She said joining IQI will elevate Mapletree’s ability to serve clients seeking both domestic and international real estate opportunities.

“We see significant appetite among our clients to diversify their portfolios internationally. Being part of the IQI network will enable us to act as the bridge between the local and global.”

Through the integration, IQI Philippines will leverage the group’s Atlas super app, AI-powered IQPilot, IQIGlobal.com, juwai.com and juwai.asia property portals, as well as its international referral and marketing platforms.

The expansion strengthens IQI’s position in Southeast Asia and reinforces its strategy to connect local property markets with global investors through technology, cross-border expertise and an integrated international network.

Written by Emmanuel Andrew Venturina, Head of IQI Philippines

The Philippine real estate market remained resilient in Q3 2025, showing signs of sustained demand across both commercial and residential segments despite broader global uncertainties.

Metro Manila’s prime office vacancy rate dropped to 8.5% from 9.2% in the previous quarter, while newly launched office space saw a healthy take-up rate of 75%—a reflection of ongoing local and international business expansions.

Residential vacancy held at approximately 12%, underpinned by continued demand for condominiums and affordable housing in key growth corridors. 

Capital values also climbed across the board. Residential properties in Metro Manila appreciated by 6.8% year-on-year, while commercial properties posted gains of 5.4%.

This uplift is closely tied to major infrastructure rollouts, including expanded transport networks and ongoing government-led development projects.

Together, these fundamentals suggest a market well-positioned for continued momentum heading into 2026, with urban connectivity and housing accessibility acting as key drivers.

IQI Philippines, part of Asia’s largest real estate agent network, IQI, has announced the launch of IQI Partners, a strategic initiative designed to bring more local real estate agencies into its global ecosystem.  

The program launches with one initial member and several more already under negotiation. – with more in the pipeline – and aims to expand rapidly in the coming months. 

This new partnership model opens the door for Philippine-based real estate agencies to access resources that were previously exclusive to IQI Philippines.  

These include IQI’s industry-leading technology, international buyer networks, and world-class training and operational support. 

IQI Partners connects local agencies to a global powerhouse of over 60,000 agents across 80 offices in 32 countries, covering Asia, Australia, Europe, MENA, and North America.  

In 2024 alone, IQI recorded US$3 billion in sales and over 10 million monthly active users across its property platforms. 

IQI Partners is expected to grow quickly because it offers members the opportunity to reap the benefits of being part of a larger, global, and technologically advanced network, all without giving up their independence.

The launch partner is Calidad Realty Services Inc., whose expertise includes luxury markets, inbound Chinese investment, and deep local industry expertise and relationships.

Kashif Ansari, Co-Founder and Group CEO of IQI, said,

“I’m proud to see IQI Philippines expanding its local footprint. IQI Partners brings the power of IQI’s global network and top-tier technology to more real estate professionals across the country.” 

Kashif Ansari, Co-Founder and Group CEO of IQI

“It gives our local teams a wider reach and expands the number of Philippine markets we operate in.

“The technology that members of IQI Partners can take advantage of includes Atlas, our agent superapp – enables agents to manage projects and listings, collaborate with other agents, access powerful marketing tools, and gain valuable insights through analytics, and improve their knowledge with the latest training.

For agents, it means more commission cheques, faster.

Kashif Ansari, Co-Founder and Group CEO of IQI

Daniel Ho, Co-Founder and Group Managing Director of IQI, explained some details of how the partnership will work.

“The moment a listing in Makati hits our Atlas super-app, we can have it translated, price-checked, and showcased to millions of buyers from Dubai to Guangzhou.

That kind of instant, border-free exposure is something no single Philippine brokerage can replicate on its own.

Daniel Ho, Co-Founder and Group Managing Director of IQI

“In IQI Partners, high-quality Philippine listings are made visible to the world while local agents keep full control of their brand and client relationships.”

Emmanuel Andrew Venturina, Country Head of IQI Philippines and Managing Director of Caliver Group, added, 

“We’re building a stronger, more connected real estate community powered by our tech platform – including the agent superapp Atlas, and our AI-driven system IQPilot.”

“Gaining scale through IQI Partners gives us the reach and resources we need to continue growing. We can now support more buyers, vendors, and developers, and offer more listings to our agents – especially for international clients,” continued Venturina.

David Mints, Vice President of IQI Philippines, commented, 

“The partner agency brings something unique to the table and able to make the most of our platform – boosting agent productivity and elevating the client experience.” 

Calidad Realty Services Inc., a multi-awarded luxury real estate firm – is joining IQI Partners to expand its global offering for high-net-worth clients. 

Zaldy Herrera, CEO of Calidad Realty, shared,

“Our expertise in the commercial, industrial, and especially the luxury home market, combined with IQI’s global reach and tech infrastructure, allows us to give clients access to investment opportunities beyond the local market.” 

The launch of IQI Partners reinforces IQI Philippines’ commitment to reshaping the Philippine real estate industry through innovation, collaboration, and global integration.  

Participating agencies will benefit from increased scale, expanded networks, and access to cutting-edge tools that empower their agents and clients alike.
