Real Estate Seminar with Filipinohomes CEO Anthony Leuterio Hits Pagadian City

PAGADIAN CITY, ZAMBOANGA DEL SUR — Aspiring real estate investors and new agents in Zamboanga del Sur are getting a direct line to one of the country's most recognized industry leaders. On May 30, 2026, Anthony Gerard O. Leuterio, founder of Filipinohomes and the 2024 International Realtor of the Year, will lead a free "Build Wealth in Real Estate" seminar at the Mardale Hotel and Convention Center. The 1:00 PM session is designed for absolute beginners, promising a clear roadmap to earning a first six‑figure commission.

The seminar will cover prospecting, client handling, digital marketing tools, and step‑by‑step strategies for entering the property market. Leuterio will be joined by local real estate professionals Nadia Cagay, REB, and Jun Rommel Alforo, who will provide guidance tailored to Pagadian's unique property landscape. Attendees can expect to learn practical skills from a network that has already opened 143 offices nationwide.

Building Wealth from the Ground Up

Leuterio's journey from coffee salesman to global real estate leader is a story that resonates with beginners. His accidental entry into the industry in 2004, followed by the founding of his own company in 2008, has shown that opportunity in real estate does not require privilege—only knowledge, discipline, and the right platform. The Pagadian seminar distills that insight into an afternoon.

The event is structured to immediately offer a pathway for participants. After the seminar, attendees will be invited to undergo Filipinohomes' accreditation process, which includes the mandatory Starter Kit training and DHSUD registration. Successful graduates gain access to the network's national property database, developer partnerships, and ongoing mentorship. This direct bridge from a free seminar to a professional career is rare in the industry.

Pagadian: A City on the Rise

Pagadian City, the capital of Zamboanga del Sur and the regional hub for trade, education, and government services, sits at the edge of a real estate awakening. The local government has expressed interest in developing a condominium‑type housing project near the Regional Center in Barangay Balintawak under the national 4PH program, targeting government employees and residents. While the plan remains in its early stages, it signals a growing appetite for affordable vertical housing.

The city's momentum is further supported by the Marcos administration's directive to fast‑track regional infrastructure. Priority projects include the Zamboanga Fish Port Complex upgrade, the Sindangan‑Bayog‑Lakewood Road, and other connectivity improvements that will reduce transport costs and stimulate economic activity. These developments are expected to gradually lift residential and commercial property values in regional centers like Pagadian, making it a fertile training ground for new agents.

Mindanao Momentum for the Filipinohomes Network

The Pagadian seminar is part of a wider push by Filipinohomes across Mindanao. In recent weeks, the network has held training sessions and team events in General Santos, Davao, and Palawan. With its 143rd office just opened in Surigao City, the network is actively expanding its footprint and recruiting new talent. Bringing a free, beginner‑focused seminar to Pagadian underscores a commitment to nurturing local talent in emerging markets, not just established ones.
