On friendship, partnership and leadership in real estate business

Here is a closer look at two seasoned Filipino realtors from SM Development Corporation (SMDC), who have been featured in the segment ‘Kwento ng Tagumpay’ sometime in June of this year. SMDC International Sales Directors AJ Ungson and Marlon Climaco, now gracing the magazine cover. 

Not burning bridges after all in an industry where people usually come and go. This is one of the important lessons learned by two of the good guys. It is not easy to practice loyalty in a quota-based system normally implemented in a sales job. Hitting quota for several years is no joke. Salute to about 11 – 13 fruitful years devoted to SMDC by these gentlemen.

Two decades and counting in property selling, these top executives are both Licensed Real Estate Brokers, but they chose to work full-time with major developers since their early 20s.

Presently holding a high corporate post as sales directors of the country’s number one property developer, they continue leading their respective sales divisions to aim for billions worth of sales as part of the company’s annual target. Indeed the higher the position, the greater the responsibility.

When in Dubai, the best buddies frequenting a Filipino restaurant in Al Rigga, would drink sweet Karak or a cup of coffee while talking to their fellow kababayans. It has always been business as usual when they travel. They are building good friendships and a good network with OFWs. 

“Every great business is built on friendship.” American businessman James Cash Penney once said.

Once trust is established, investment talk follows. They are helping Filipinos overseas to consider the idea of putting their hard-earned money into the best investment instrument, real estate properties. Their sales force will be the bridge to purchase any of SMDC’s condominium, house, and lot projects.

Aside from the Middle East, they also started invading Asia. This year alone, they already got the chance to visit Singapore a couple of times, and they have been featured in a Filipino magazine in Japan. 

Partnership with SMDC is open to all Filipinos and other nationalities worldwide to enjoy a significant income opportunity on a freelance basis. It is such a big-time side hustle. AJ and Marlon team members can guide one through it even from scratch to become a productive referror-partner. 

“Great things in business are never done by one person; they’re done by a team of people.” Steve Jobs, the co-founder, chairman, and CEO of Apple, once said. 

A manager leading a salesperson to earn his first million or a seller leading a prospective buyer to millions of investment decisions is quite a tough job—a leadership that takes experience, expertise, and so much enthusiasm to be able to influence others.

As sales directors who should always be on top of everything, they manage and develop more leaders in the process. What a noble job with a task to help others become successful in life.

“Leaders are not born; they are made.” American football coach Vince Lombardi said. 

We will be hearing more of AJ and Marlon’s exploration globally by next year, as 2022 is about to end soon. Expect many exciting things these two property mentors have to offer in 2023.
