Rent.ph Masterclass Equips Filipinohomes Bacolod Agents with Rental Management Expertise with COO May Antonette Leuterio

BACOLOD CITY – Filipinohomes COO and Rent.ph Managing Director May Antonette Leuterio led a hands‑on Rent.ph Masterclass on the afternoon of July 15, 2026, just hours after receiving a warm banner welcome from the city’s agents. The session transformed eager sales professionals into certified rental managers ready to serve the city’s booming property market.

A Hands‑On Masterclass Led by Leadership

Leuterio personally guided agents through Rent.ph’s digital ecosystem, demonstrating how to list properties, manage bookings, and process payments in real time. The afternoon built directly on the morning’s energy, shifting from celebration to skill‑building. Agents who had cheered her arrival now sat focused, absorbing every tool.

The training covered the full rental management cycle. Participants practiced setting dynamic prices that adjust to peak seasons and local events. They also crafted high‑converting listings and learned to screen tenants efficiently. The certification requirements were laid out clearly, giving everyone a defined path to professional accreditation.

Skills for a Growing Rental Market

Agents worked through real‑world scenarios drawn from Bacolod’s property landscape. They learned to manage multiple units simultaneously while tracking maintenance requests and lease renewals. The platform’s automated reminders and reporting features turned complex tasks into manageable daily routines.

The masterclass emphasized that professional management protects property values and maximizes owner returns. Participants left knowing how to communicate effectively with both landlords and tenants. These skills are especially valuable in a city where short‑term rentals are surging alongside traditional leases.

Why Bacolod’s Market Demands Professional Managers

Bacolod’s residential sector is expanding rapidly. Major township projects like PHINMA’s Saludad and SMDC’s Smile Residences are adding thousands of units to the market. As more condominiums and subdivisions are completed, owners increasingly need skilled managers to handle tenant placement and upkeep.

The city’s short‑term rental segment now boasts over 1,500 active listings, with hosts earning solid revenues. Improved airport connectivity is drawing more tourists and business travelers. Certified rent managers who understand both long‑term leases and vacation stays are positioned to capture this dual demand.

Recent Network Momentum in Negros Occidental

The July 15 masterclass follows a string of milestones for Filipinohomes in Bacolod. In May, the network opened its 142nd franchise office and held a wealth seminar that drew 300 aspiring agents. Founder and CEO Anthony Leuterio attended both events, reinforcing Bacolod’s strategic importance.

Just a day earlier, agents completed a Camella product knowledge seminar, mastering the developer’s classic house models and the new Prestige Home Series. Earlier in July, the network held a property management training session that guided agents toward Rent Manager certification. The consecutive learning events create a sales force that is both versatile and deeply knowledgeable.

Certification Opens Doors for Agents

Graduates of the masterclass now appear in Rent.ph’s searchable database of certified managers. Property owners seeking reliable help can connect with these agents directly, generating immediate income opportunities. The certification serves as a public mark of trust in a competitive market.

For Filipinohomes, the masterclass under Leuterio’s direct leadership signals a deepened commitment to professional development. As Bacolod’s property market expands, the network’s agents are being prepared to serve not just as sellers, but as complete real estate professionals ready for the city’s rental boom.
