Contract Signing With Team Red Diamonds Adds Third Group to Filipinohomes Dumaguete Roster

DUMAGUETE CITY – Filipinohomes continued its expansion in Negros Oriental with a contract signing with Team Red Diamonds on April 21, 2026, held at the network's Dumaguete office.

The signing formalizes Team Red Diamonds' affiliation with Filipinohomes, granting the group access to the company's national property database, developer partnerships, training resources, and agent support systems. The team becomes the third group to sign with the network in Dumaguete on the same day, following Team A and LR Direct/Champions Team.

Three teams sign on April 21

The contract signing with Team Red Diamonds capped a busy day for Filipinohomes in Dumaguete. Earlier on April 21, the network sealed contracts with Team A and LR Direct/Champions Team, adding multiple groups to its growing roster in Negros Oriental. The simultaneous signings underscore the network's aggressive push to strengthen its presence in the city.

Recent training events building momentum

The contract signings follow a series of high-impact activities in Dumaguete over the past several days:

• April 18 – Starlight Galaxy Brokerage Training: CEO Anthony Leuterio led a training session at CFFC Building 2, where agents reviewed core policies for client protection and practiced articulating the brokerage's unique value proposition.

• April 18 – BE Residences Product Knowledge Seminar: Also on April 18, agents attended a seminar focused on BE Residences, a developer known for its resort‑inspired communities, equipping them with expertise to market projects in Negros Oriental.

These events, clustered within a short span, have helped build momentum for the network's expansion in the city.

Why Dumaguete is a focal point

The intensified real estate activity in Dumaguete is backed by strong economic and demographic fundamentals. The city was recently named the #1 Safest City to Visit in the Philippines for 2026 by the World Travel Index, with a safety rating of 82.28 percent, outperforming Davao City (79.22 percent) and Balanga City (76.71 percent). The ranking considers crime rates, public safety infrastructure, and visitor security perception — factors that directly influence both residential desirability and investment confidence.

Dumaguete's property market is defying its smaller size. City Center land prices in 2026 now rival Bacolod's prime zones, a striking development given Dumaguete's smaller population. House prices per square meter in Dumaguete's urban core are similarly competitive with Bacolod's most expensive neighborhoods. Across Negros Island, property values are expected to climb 4 to 7 percent in 2026, with condominiums leading at 6 to 9 percent appreciation. Dumaguete condos currently command roughly 45 percent higher price per square meter than Bacolod house-and-lot properties, driven by strong expat demand and the scarcity of walkable urban land.

Major developers have taken note of Dumaguete's potential. Filinvest Land Inc. has been actively expanding its footprint, with the Marina Town development in Barangay Mangnao continuing to attract buyers and renters. The ₱9 billion Futura Shores mid-rise condominium project, also in Barangay Mangnao, represents one of the largest single real estate investments in the city's history. This sustained developer confidence, combined with the city's improving infrastructure and rising property values, makes Dumaguete a compelling destination for real estate professionals and investors alike.

What's next for Team Red Diamonds

With the signing completed, Team Red Diamonds will undergo onboarding, including training on Filipino Homes' multi‑listing platform and integration with the network's developer partners. For Filipino Homes, the addition of Team Red Diamonds brings it closer to its target of 150 branches nationwide.
