Anthony and May Leuterio Lead Rent.ph Masterclass in Cagayan de Oro, Teaching Dynamic Pricing and Property Care

CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY – Rent.ph, the country’s leading property rental platform, brought its Masterclass 2026 to Cagayan de Oro on August 14, 2026, at the Limketkai Luxe Hotel. The session trained a new wave of agents in professional property management and rental portfolio scaling.

Industry Leaders Lead the Session

The masterclass was led by Rent.ph founder Anthony Gerard O. Leuterio, who is also the founder and CEO of Filipinohomes. He was joined by Chief Operating Officer May Antonette P. Leuterio, who serves as Rent.ph’s Managing Director. Together, they brought years of combined experience to the training room.

Rent.ph Product Manager Robert Joni Laurente, Agents Relationship Officer April Quiamco, and Administrators Jirech Estose and Caryl Lou Hernandez completed the core team. Special guests Glaiza and Jerome Lantaca, Rent Manager Pros from Cebu, also shared their expertise. They provided field-tested insights on building a successful rental management practice.

Data-Driven Strategies for Rental Success

The masterclass moved beyond basic listing tips into advanced territory. Speakers rotated through modules on guest communication, dynamic pricing, inventory turnover, and platform-specific optimization. Participants analyzed real Cagayan de Oro data, learning to adjust nightly rates during peak seasons.

The training emphasized crafting descriptions that convert inquiries into bookings. The focus was on treating every rental as a business, not a hobby. This practical, data-driven approach gives agents a clear path to increasing their income.

A recurring theme was professionalism. Leuterio stressed that proper property management separates a vacant unit from a reliable income stream. The message was reinforced with practical tools: updated dashboards, a crisis-handling cheat sheet, and direct access to regional support teams. The platform now has more than 4,500 trained rental managers.

Why Cagayan de Oro Matters for Rentals

The timing of the masterclass aligns with strong market signals in Northern Mindanao. Cagayan de Oro continues to post robust economic growth, with the city recording 6.8-percent GDP growth in 2024. A hotel boom is reshaping the city’s landscape, with major projects under construction.

These developments signal sustained demand for rental properties, creating opportunities for trained rent managers. Across the country, leasing is gaining traction over home purchases. Shifting consumer behavior, high interest rates, and flexible work trends are reshaping the property market.

Building on a Nationwide Rollout

The Cagayan de Oro session is part of a nationwide Masterclass 2026 series that began in Palawan on June 10. The series continued in Manila on June 11 at TRYP by Wyndham Mall of Asia. The platform has also held sessions in Bacolod and Iloilo.

Recent Rent.ph activities have included a Bacolod Property Rental Training on July 1 and a Rent.ph Masterclass in Iloilo on July 14. The platform has also been recognized at the Cebu Midyear Awarding on July 20, where top rent managers were honored.

Empowering Agents for Rental Success

For the participants who attended the August 14 session, the masterclass provided a competitive edge in navigating Cagayan de Oro’s evolving rental market. Graduates are now listed in Rent.ph’s database of certified managers, giving them immediate visibility to property owners searching for reliable help. They also gain access to a network of support, including digital tools for listing, booking, and payment processing.

As Rent.ph continues to expand its nationwide footprint, events like the August 14 Masterclass ensure that Filipino agents remain equipped to serve a growing pool of property owners and tenants. The session reflects the platform’s commitment to professionalizing property management and its recognition that well-trained rent managers are essential to capturing opportunities in one of the country’s fastest-growing property markets.
