Why We Built Forterra: A Hub for Overseas Filipinos Investing Back Home

Buying property in the Philippines while living abroad has never been simple. From verifying developers and brokers to navigating paperwork, financing, and property management, Overseas Filipinos often face risks, uncertainty, and stress when trying to invest back home.

That’s exactly why Forterra Realty Hub was created.

Built by an Overseas Filipino, for Overseas Filipinos

As an Overseas Filipino myself, I understood firsthand the challenges of wanting to invest in the Philippines but lacking a reliable platform I could trust. What started as a simple idea — to create a safe and transparent way to buy property back home — has now grown into the first Filipino Real Estate Hub with a global reach, proudly headquartered in Canada.

More Than Just Property Sales

Forterra is not a developer or a brokerage. Instead, we are a marketing and referral hub that connects you to:

• Trusted Philippine developers and licensed brokers

• Curated investment opportunities — condos, houses, retirement homes, commercial spaces, and land

• End-to-end services including property management, vacation rentals, design and build, and financing/legal guidance

Our mission is simple: to make every property purchase safe, seamless, and rewarding for Overseas Filipinos.

A Community-Powered Platform

What makes Forterra different is our community-driven approach. We are building a network of agents embedded in diaspora communities across Canada, the U.S., the Middle East, and beyond — ensuring that no matter where you are in the world, you have local support and global reach.

Looking Ahead

Forterra is more than a business; it’s a movement to help Filipinos build legacy, security, and opportunity through real estate. As we launch, our focus is on serving the Filipino community in Canada first, then expanding worldwide.

This is just the beginning — and we invite you to be part of the Forterra Force.
