The Process

Scenario Review

We evaluate both properties, the transaction goal, and whether an exchange is more practical than a direct sale or separate acquisition.

Ownership and Record Validation

Our team checks title records, declarations, receipts, and authority documents so both sides can see material gaps before signing.

Agreement and Value Alignment

We help organize the exchange terms, supporting documents, and market value discussion so the swap structure is clearer and easier to document.

Transfer and Filing Coordination

We guide the next steps for deed execution, compliance review, and coordination with the proper offices or representatives until the transaction is ready to close.

Requirements

Bring originals and copies of available documents. We will confirm any additional requirements after the initial review.
  • Owner's copy or certified true copy of title or other available ownership records for both properties.
  • Latest tax declaration and real property tax receipts for each property involved in the exchange.
  • Valid government-issued IDs of all owners, buyers and sellers, or authorized signatories.
  • Draft agreement, deed, term sheet, or any existing transaction notes already discussed by the parties.
  • Special Power of Attorney, board resolution, partnership authority, or estate documents when a representative is acting for an owner.
  • Supporting survey plans, technical descriptions, tenancy records, or occupancy details when the property is residential, rental, commercial real estate, or tenant-occupied.

FAQs

When is a real estate exchange better than a sale?
An exchange is often worth evaluating when both sides want a direct property swap, when a sale would create timing problems for acquisition, or when the parties want to restructure ownership without running two fully separate transactions.
What taxes usually apply in a Philippine real estate exchange?
Tax treatment depends on the structure, value, and documents involved. Clients should expect a review of transfer-related taxes, documentary requirements, and filing steps before assuming the transaction will be treated like a simple swap.
What documents are usually required for a real estate exchange?
Most cases start with title or ownership records, declarations, receipts, IDs, and any draft agreement or authority papers. We confirm the working checklist after the initial review of both properties.
Can LandMaster Realty coordinate an exchange for owners who are abroad or represented by someone else?
Yes. We regularly work with authorized representatives when the paperwork is complete, including SPA or similar authority documents, and we clarify the extra steps early so the transaction stays organized.
