The Philippine real estate landscape is poised for a significant technological leap with the upcoming launch of “Bahai Deals,” an innovative AI-powered property platform developed by Talino Venture Studios in collaboration with Rizal Commercial Banking Corporation (RCBC).
Set to debut in July, this groundbreaking application aims to connect local property developers with the expansive global Filipino market, streamlining the investment process and ushering in a new era of digital real estate transactions.
At a press briefing held yesterday, Winston L. Damarillo, President and CEO of Talino Venture Studios, enthusiastically unveiled the vision behind Bahai Deals. “We saw a tremendous opportunity to bridge the gap between our burgeoning property sector and the significant investment potential of Filipinos around the world,” Damarillo stated.
“Bahai Deals is designed to be more than just a listing platform; it’s an intelligent ecosystem that simplifies every step of the property buying journey, from discovery to financing,” he added.
AI-powered financing and personalization of property listings
The app’s core strength lies in its sophisticated AI capabilities, promising a personalized experience for prospective buyers. By analyzing individual lifestyle preferences, budget constraints, and spending habits, Bahai Deals’ “smart property matching” feature will curate highly relevant listings, saving users valuable time and effort.
This targeted approach aims to move beyond generic search results, presenting overseas Filipinos with properties that truly align with their needs and aspirations.
“Imagine being able to find your dream home in the Philippines from anywhere in the world, with listings tailored specifically to what matters most to you,” explained Maria Garcia, Head of Product Development at Talino Venture Studios.
“Our AI learns your preferences over time, ensuring that the properties you see are not just houses, but potential homes and sound investments,” she added.
A key differentiator of Bahai Deals is its seamless integration of financing options, made possible through the strategic partnership with RCBC. This collaboration promises to dismantle traditional hurdles associated with property acquisition, particularly for overseas buyers.
Talino-RCBC partnership fuels optimism, promises seamless mortgage access
“We are thrilled to partner with Talino Venture Studios on this game-changing initiative,” stated Antonio de Vera, Senior Vice President for Digital Banking at RCBC. “Bahai Deals will empower Filipinos abroad with direct access to our mortgage services, enabling them to navigate the loan pre-approval, application, and processing stages with unprecedented ease and speed. We believe this will significantly accelerate homeownership for many.”
During its testing phase, Talino Venture Studios’ Bahai Deals has already demonstrated promising results, facilitating the sale of approximately 145,000 houses valued at a total of PHP 1 billion, with an average property price of PHP 7 million. This early success has instilled confidence in Talino Venture Studios, which has already onboarded six prominent local builders onto the platform.
“The initial response has been incredibly encouraging,” Damarillo noted. “We are confident that Bahai Deals will not only sustain but amplify the sales momentum for our partner developers, providing them with a powerful channel to reach a global audience.”
The platform’s user-friendly interface will be accessible via both web and mobile applications, catering to the diverse technological preferences of its target market. Features such as virtual property tours and direct communication channels with developers are also expected to enhance the user experience.
With the official launch just months away, anticipation is building within the Philippine real estate sector and among overseas Filipino communities. Bahai Deals represents a bold step towards leveraging artificial intelligence to democratize property investment, fostering growth for local developers while empowering global Filipinos to realize their dreams of owning a piece of their homeland.
The fusion of smart technology and financial expertise promises to reshape how Filipinos connect with and invest in Philippine real estate, paving the way for a more accessible and efficient market.
