Are you a real estate agent in Cebu or Bohol
Sad to say these natural calamities keep on coming. Typhoons have warnings but so far even advanced nations cannot predict an earthquake.

I'm doing this blog post while I'm watching the press conference at NDRRMC on the same day the earthquake struck. Bohol was struck with a 7.2 magnitude earthquake affecting nearby city Cebu.
If you are a real estate agent in Bohol and Cebu and this earthquake happened; definitely your marketing will be affected tremendously. What a real estate agent can do is go around and check their listings personally if it was damaged by the earthquake.
If you saw some of your listings damaged then think again if you will still market these project/s. But if you saw that your listings are not damage check it thoroughly before announcing or creating an ad that your project can withstand this kind of earthquake.
Best thing to do is talked with engineers of those projects and get feedback why the homes they built was not affected. Take pictures if possible.
Do you think it's about time for developers to disclose in their marketing brochures how much intensity their condos or houses can withstand because honestly we don't know.

Aside from praying for those who are affected by this earthquake in the Visayas region we also wish our peers (co-agents and brokers) nothing but the best.
Are your listings near "active fault maps"?
