Our latest tenants—a US-based couple embracing a new adventure in the Philippines.
Just to continue on the 98 reasons to choose our company as your property manager, we accommodate our balikbayans in coming back to their home country.
Last testimonial, we highlighted our service with our friends from Visayas and Mindanao. This posting talks about our dedication with our international clients.
After decades of work and the steady growth of pension-derived passive income, they are testing retirement living in the Philippines.

Their story illustrates a clear reality: for many retirees, Makati City offers a compelling balance of lifestyle, safety, and affordability that’s hard to beat.

In Makati, the cost of living can be significantly lower than in many parts of the United States, while still delivering high-quality services and amenities. This combination is a practical invitation for retirees exploring a smooth transition to a more relaxed, yet metropolitan lifestyle.
Why Makati for retirement?

The city is renowned for putting residents first. It prioritizes easy access to essential services, world-class hospitals, and culturally rich neighborhoods that feel both new and familiar. For retirees with travel plans to family in the Manila area, Makati’s central location offers convenient access to metro lines, healthcare facilities, and everyday conveniences, all while maintaining a safe, walkable environment. The city’s infrastructure is designed to support seniors who value independence paired with reliable support networks.
Retirees who value community will feel at home in Makati.
According to Makati Mayor, Nancy Binay, she has extended senior benefits with an ordinance that establishes three fundamental areas of support: enhanced financial and food security, active inclusion and employment, and tax incentives for corporate support. These sectors has been funded to upgrade the fulfillment and lifestyle of every Makatizen.

This ongoing effort helps keep long-term living affordable and sustainable for senior residents—and it’s a factor many balikbayans consider when re-establishing roots in the Philippines. As seen in recent citywide updates, Makati continues to broaden eligibility for senior benefits, making it easier to enjoy a comfortable retirement closer to loved ones.
Our newest tenants chose a lower-floor unit for accessibility and comfort, reinforcing that thoughtful design supports quality of life at any age. The combination of a welcoming neighborhood, proximity to hospitals, and a vibrant city atmosphere makes Makati an appealing option for seniors seeking a familiar, supportive environment in a new home country. Check out our final walkthrough:
Initially, they thought about staying in another area, ( more specifically in San Lazaro ) however, they’re not familiar with the surroundings even if there son lives there. So, our client inquired and he wanted something that is in the lower floor, a community where it is fully amenitized ( pool, gym, walking path, Strip Mall )

Luckily, we still have one unit available that sits on the lower floor. Right there and then, we scheduled his walkthrough. As usual, there’s a sayjng that “ old habits die hard ”. Our client, being a hardworking balikbayan, he has a full schedule ahead and we tried to make time for him to check the property and be settled very soon.
We are so happy and fulfilled as always with helping another client find their long term home.
