Buying and financing a home are two big, rewarding steps toward owning a place of their own for millions of Filipinos.
Accessing quick capital against real estate assets has long required property owners to look outside standard digital property portals. While online marketplaces excel at showcasing real estate for sale, homeowners seeking cash through real estate loans or refinancing have generally had to navigate separate, traditional loan channels.
A new partnership aims to close that gap.
Non-bank financial institution Global Dominion Financing Inc. (GDFI) and leading real estate marketplace Lamudi & Dot Property Philippines have formed a strategic alliance designed to bring property refinancing options directly to online real estate seekers.
The ceremonial contract signing was attended by key executive leadership from both organizations, including Robert Samuel Cariño (President & CEO), Eugenie Mabbayad (CRO), Annabelle L. Alvaran (GM, Real Estate Mortgage Division), and Melai Felicidario (COO) representing Global Dominion Financing Inc., and Alex Alapag (Head of Corporate Partnerships) representing Lamudi & Dot Property Philippines.
Established in 2003, GDFI has built a robust nationwide presence across the Philippines, providing accessible capital through key real estate options like Sangla Titulo Loans and REM Take-Outs. Its broad portfolio helps everyday Filipinos, OFWs, small business owners, and growing enterprises reach their financial goals.
GDFI’s real estate options are designed around the real-world needs of property owners. With Sangla Titulo, homeowners and business owners with a fully paid land title can use it as collateral to borrow quick funds without losing ownership of their property. On the other hand, REM Take-Out gives borrowers a hassle-free way to transfer an existing home mortgage from another bank or lender to GDFI, making it easier to restructure monthly payments, get better terms, or cash out extra equity.
Getting started with any of these solutions is quick and easy. Applicants just need to complete a simple online loan application form, wait for a quick call from a GDFI loan advisor to get approved, and then collect their funds directly at their nearest GDFI branch.
The integration leverages SEA Connect’s established digital infrastructure, which powers seven real estate marketplaces across Southeast Asia.
For GDFI, the partnership significantly broadens its digital reach, connecting its services to a massive online audience of homeowners, small business owners, and property investors.
By combining real estate discovery with direct access to non-bank capital, both organizations aim to streamline the search-and-finance journey for everyday homebuyers, small business owners, and growing enterprises across the country.
