Shiela Avergonzado Leads Filipinohomes New Agents Orientation in Tagbilaran

TAGBILARAN CITY, Bohol — Filipinohomes Bohol welcomed a fresh wave of aspiring real estate professionals on August 15, 2026, with a New Agents Orientation at its Tagbilaran office. Licensed Real Estate Broker Shiela Avergonzado spearheaded the session, setting the stage for new careers in the province's thriving property market.

A Broker-Led Start for New Agents

The orientation was designed to turn beginners into confident salespeople. Avergonzado covered the essentials, starting with prospecting techniques that help agents find their first clients. She also introduced digital marketing strategies that are crucial for reaching today's tech-savvy buyers.

Client handling was another core topic of the day. Recruits learned how to build trust and guide buyers through big decisions. The session also stressed the importance of compliance with Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development regulations. This foundation ensures that every new agent starts with the right ethical compass.

Avergonzado, a recognized Huwaran Awardee for Bohol, brought practical wisdom to the room. She shared real stories from her own field experience, making the lessons stick. Her guidance helped participants see the profession not just as a job, but as a service to families and communities.

More Than Just Sales Talk

Participants also learned how to access Filipinohomes' powerful tools. The national property database and multi-listing platform give agents a head start. These resources allow them to match buyers with the right properties quickly and efficiently.

The training extended beyond just selling techniques. It emphasized the importance of building a personal brand and using social media professionally. Recruits were shown how to present themselves as trusted advisors, not just pushy sellers. This holistic approach builds long-term success.

The session provided a clear path for growth within the network. New agents were told about mentorship programs and advanced workshops waiting for them. The message was clear: this orientation is just the beginning.

A Roadmap to Real Success

One of the most motivating parts of the orientation was the promise of attainable goals. Recruits were shown a roadmap to earning their first six-figure commission. This gave them a tangible target to work toward from day one.

The energy in the room was palpable as participants saw the possibilities. Many came in with doubts and left with a sense of direction. The combination of practical skills and a clear vision for success was powerful. Filipinohomes has built a model that supports new agents at every step.

Why Bohol Is the Place to Be

The timing of this orientation is perfect for the province. Bohol's property market is booming, driven by major projects. A ₱4.53-billion airport upgrade and a confirmed SM mall are boosting confidence and property values. These developments make real estate a promising career choice here.

Cebu Landmasters has also committed ₱25 billion to projects in the province, including on Panglao Island. Median house prices have climbed to around ₱6.5 million. All these indicators point to sustained demand for skilled, knowledgeable agents.

For the new recruits, this means opportunity. They are entering a market with strong momentum and a network that provides full support. The August 15 orientation was their first step into a thriving industry.
