Talamban, Cebu City — Filipino Homes, the fastest-growing real estate network in the country, has established its 136th franchise office after its 135th anniversary in Talisay. The latest branch is currently catering to the community of Talamban in Cebu City, and further strengthening the brand’s presence in the Visayas.
The new office, helmed by franchise owners Teody Embrado and Monnien Embrado, operates under the flagship of Leuterio Realty and Brokerage. The launch was announced by Anthony Gerard O. Leuterio, founder and CEO of Filipino Homes, via a social media post celebrating the continued expansion of the network.
“Huge congratulations to Boss Teody Embrado and Boss Monnien Embrado for opening our 136th Filipino Homes franchise office in Talamban!” Leuterio stated. “Your commitment to serving more Filipino families and growing our network inspires us all. Excited to see more lives changed and more communities served through this new milestone.”
A Network Built on Excellence and Innovation
Filipino Homes has established itself as one of the best real estate networks in the Philippines supported by Leuterio Realty and Brokerage -— a licensed brokerage firm since 2008 with a history of hundreds of property sales of affordable homes to luxury estates. The performance of the organization is award winning, which reflects the devotion of excellence and innovation in real estate service.
The network has also gained international recognition. In 2024, Anthony Leuterio was awarded the International Realtor® of the Year by the National Association of Realtors (NAR), the world’s largest real estate trade association with over 1.5 million members based in the U.S. The recognition was awarded for his efforts to elevate the ethical standards, best practices, and the realtor brand to the international level.
“Real estate is a multiplier—every house sold supports up to 60 families,” Leuterio said upon receiving the award, highlighting his belief that the profession is about building lives and communities, not just making sales.
The Filipino Homes Platform
The Filipino Homes platform is a technology-driven real estate platform offering clients and agents online property listings, market information, and digital support tools. Through Leuterio Realty & Brokerage, it links buyers and sellers throughout the Philippines, providing house and lot packages, condominiums, commercial properties, and foreclosed assets nationwide.
With a wide network of licensed agents and thousands of properties listed, Filipino Homes has become a major real estate platform in the country. It also supports agents through training programs like the Filipino Homes Institute of Real Estate (FIRE), which provides online courses for real estate professionals.
Looking Ahead: 150 and Beyond
As the 136th franchise office is opened in Talamban, Cebu City, Filipino Homes does not seem to be slowing down. Anthony Leuterio and his team are determined to expand to 150 offices around the country and even more as they strive to fulfill their mission of bringing world-class real estate service closer to every Filipino family.
“I can attest to the immense value being an International Realtor® Member brings to real estate brokers and agents. It offers an unrivaled platform for networking, accessing cutting-edge resources, and honing skills through world-class educational events,” Leuterio said.
For aspiring realtors, his advice remains simple: “Always level up your service, don’t take shortcuts, and prioritize both buyers and sellers. Build connections, especially with fellow Filipinos, and stay up-to-date with trends. Most importantly, never stop learning.”
