Authority to Sell & Proof of Ownership Requirement
-As PRC-licensed Real Estate Brokers, we are required to strictly comply with the rules and directives of the Professional Regulatory Board of Real Estate Service (PRBRES) under the Professional Regulation Commission.
Under the PRBRES Memorandum dated June 19, 2019, licensed Real Estate Brokers are mandatorily required to secure the following before listing, advertising, or negotiating the sale of any real property:
A written Authority to Sell or Authority to Negotiate, duly signed by the registered owner or the authorized Attorney-in-Fact; and
Proof of ownership, such as a copy of the Transfer Certificate of Title (TCT) or Condominium Certificate of Title (CCT).
This requirement is imposed by regulation and is not discretionary.
The purpose of this requirement is to:
Verify that the property is being marketed with the consent of the registered owner
Prevent unauthorized, duplicate, or fraudulent listings
Ensure transparency and accountability in real estate transactions
Protect all parties involved—owners, buyers, and brokers
Marketing a property without the required written authority and proof of ownership may expose a licensed broker to administrative sanctions, including suspension or revocation of PRC license, after due process.
For the Protection of All Parties
Requiring these documents is not merely a formality. It:
Safeguards property owners from unauthorized representation
Ensures that negotiations are conducted by a duly authorized, licensed professional
Establishes a clear and compliant framework for marketing and closing the transaction
All documents submitted are treated with strict confidentiality and are used solely for compliance, verification, and transaction management purposes.
Our Professional Policy
In compliance with PRC and PRBRES regulations, we observe the following policy:
Properties may only be listed, advertised, or negotiated upon submission of the required written authority and proof of ownership.
This policy ensures that all listings handled are legitimate, properly authorized, and professionally managed.
A Reminder to Property Owners
Compliance with documentation requirements enables licensed brokers to represent your property properly, protect your interests, and conduct the transaction efficiently and lawfully. These requirements are part of professional real estate practice and are observed to ensure transparency and accountability throughout the transaction.
A Professional Reminder on Documentation
Proper documentation is a fundamental requirement in regulated real estate practice. Property owners are expected to cooperate with their licensed brokers by providing the necessary written authority and proof of ownership prior to listing, advertising, or negotiation. This ensures that all transactions are conducted in accordance with PRC and PRBRES regulations.
Professional Disclosure and Client Assurance
In the same manner that property owners are required to provide proper documentation, Real Estate Brokers also have a professional obligation to establish their credibility. Licensed Real Estate Brokers are expected to present updated and valid PRC licenses and registrations when engaging Clients, to confirm that they are duly licensed and in good standing. This mutual disclosure promotes transparency, builds trust, and ensures that both parties are protected under regulated professional practice. Compliance, therefore, is a shared responsibility that safeguards the integrity of the transaction and the interests of all parties involved.
