Property Care for Overseas Owners — Davao
Our property care plans give owners who live outside Davao a reliable team on the ground: scheduled visits with photo reports, utilities and association-dues monitoring, airing and checks for vacant homes, coordination and supervision of any repairs, and a single English-speaking contact who answers in your time zone. Plans start around ₱1,500–₱3,500 per month depending on property and visit frequency. You own the property; we handle what happens on the ground.
Hundreds of thousands of OFWs and emigrants own a condo or house "back home" — bought for retirement, for the family, or as the investment that made the years abroad make sense. The quiet problem: a property in the tropics does not pause while you are away. Humidity grows mold in closed rooms, a hairline roof leak becomes a stained ceiling, dues notices go unread, and the classic solution — a relative with a key — works right up until it awkwardly doesn’t. We professionalize that role: scheduled, documented, accountable.
Care plans and pricing
| Plan | What it covers | Typical monthly rate |
|---|---|---|
| Essential (vacant condo) | Monthly visit: airing, flush taps/drains, run aircon, mail collection, photo report | ₱1,500 – ₱2,000 |
| Standard (house or condo) | Essential + utilities/dues monitoring, storm checks after heavy weather, minor issue coordination | ₱2,000 – ₱3,500 |
| Tenanted property | Rent follow-up liaison, periodic inspections with tenant notice, repair coordination, annual condition report | ₱2,500 – ₱4,000 |
| Custom / multiple properties | Combined schedule across units, house + Samal beach house, etc. | quoted per portfolio |
Repairs, cleaning and specialist work are quoted separately with photos and your approval before a peso is spent — the plan buys eyes, hands and accountability, not blank-check maintenance.
What a monthly visit actually involves
Full walkthrough against your property’s checklist — leaks, mold spots, pests, intrusion signs
Taps run and toilets flushed (dry P-traps are why closed homes smell of sewer), aircon run to keep seals and compressor healthy
Mail and notices collected, photographed and summarized — dues letters, DCWD/Davao Light bills, barangay notices
Meter readings logged, so a leak or a tapped line shows up as numbers, not as a shock bill
Ventilation cycle for closed rooms and closets — the anti-mold routine the tropics demand
Photo report to your phone the same day: what we saw, what needs a decision, what can wait
When something needs fixing
This is where remote ownership usually hurts: finding someone, trusting the price, and knowing whether the work really happened. Our loop closes all three. We document the issue with photos, collect one or two quotes from vetted providers (our own crews for cleaning and aircon; trusted partners for plumbing, electrical, roofing), you approve by message, we supervise the work, and you get completion photos before final payment releases. Typical fix, from your side, is four messages — and the paper trail lives in your report history.
The alternative most owners run today — sending money to a relative and hoping — is exactly the arrangement that strains families. Removing that awkwardness is half of what this service is for; your relatives go back to being family instead of unpaid property managers.

Frequently asked questions
How do you handle my keys securely?
Keys are logged, tagged anonymously (no address on the tag), stored in a lockbox, and every use is recorded in your visit log. For condos we can alternatively work through building admin access or a smart lock we install with your approval.
Can you pay my bills and association dues for me?
We monitor and remind, and where billers support it, most owners pay online themselves (Davao Light, DCWD and major admins accept online/GCash payment). For the remainder, we can pay on your behalf against a small documented float — receipts photographed into your report.
What happens in a real emergency — a leak flooding the unit?
The escalation rule we agree at intake kicks in: we act first to stop damage (shut the valve, call the building engineer), then message you immediately with photos. Damage control does not wait for a time zone; spending your money beyond that always does.
My sister currently checks the house. Why pay for this?
If that works smoothly, keep it — genuinely. Owners come to us when the arrangement gets awkward: visits skipped, photos vague, repairs "handled" without receipts, and no one wants to nag family. A service is accountable in a way relatives should never have to be.
Do you cover houses on Samal?
Yes — beach houses are a core use case, with visit costs reflecting the ferry trip. Many owners combine a Samal house and a Davao condo in one plan with a shared monthly report.
