Real estate industry experts expect the rise of Philippine real estate players joining the lucrative REIT industry. But are the ERP systems of real estate companies ready towards this evolving trend in the real estate industry?
A Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) is a publicly-listed stock company that owns income-generating real –estate assets, such as malls, offices, warehouses, hotels, and other infrastructures like power plants and toll roads. The income cascades down to investors in the form of dividends.
The Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) Law or Republic Act No. 9856 or Philippine REIT Law was enacted in 2009 with the goal to promote economic development in capital markets, democratize the distribution of wealth by increasing Filipino participation in the Philippine real estate market, enable the financing of infrastructure and other projects through the management of capital markets, and provide protection to the investing public. Philippines REITs are required to disburse 90% of incomes as dividends.
In the overview of the 3rd APAC REIT Investment Summit 2019, it stated that the REIT market is an extremely lucrative investment product valued at about $68.33 billion in Asian capital markets and at $604 billion globally back in 2008, the time when the Philippine government was still having discussions on the passage and the plans for the REIT.
“The REIT industry across the world has continued growing since the passing of REIT law in the Philippines. In June 2014, the industry was estimated to be valued at about $140 billion in Asia and $1.4 trillion cumulatively in all parts of the word,” it added.
However, since the passing of the REIT Law in the Philippines, it has not made significant progress in attracting REIT listing s due to a couple of taxation hindrances.
Today, with the recent move of the Philippine government, specifically the Philippine Stock Exchange and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) towards an investor-friendly rules on REIT to further the investment flows and help sustain growth in the Philippine capital markets, industry experts foresee a wave of REIT listing starting this year.
But are the real estate companies ready?

NOAH: Advancing the role of ERP
Providing real estate developers with an end-to-end solution in a Cloud platform for them to meet all their requirements in the management of their construction and real estate businesses
Real Estate Management is the core business process of a real estate developer. It involves essential and relevant activities such as market research and planning, land acquisition management, project management, selling, documentation, broker management, customer account management, settlement of real estate taxes, and titling. This article aims to show how NOAH Real Estate Management System could help manage various aspects of a realty business, from womb-to-tomb.
Traditional way of handling, recording, monitoring, and accounting real estate transactions includes the use of paper and spreadsheets. This often results to inconsistent, inaccurate, and erroneous data and documents thus affecting the overall productivity and performance of the different divisions of an organization.
The direct solution to these common challenges is to set up integrated software which greatly minimizes input and processing times, maximizes efficiency, and increases data accuracy and reliability. Data and documents are readily available and can be retrieved any time. With the system in place, information is usually backed-up to ensure that no pertinent data is lost.

Documents for generation, printing, routing, and signature are made available. These include but not limited to Reservation Agreement (RA), Contract to Sell (CTS), Deed of Assignment (DOA), and Deed of Absolute Sale (DAS).
Plugged-in with relevant validation and controls, the system ensures that collections from customers are applied based from the application of payment hierarchy. With the automatic computation of penalties due to late or non-payment, generation of outstanding balance details on the Statement of Account (SOA) and on the collection notices has been made easier, more transparent, and faster.

Know why top real estate companies in the Philippines decide to replace, complement or supplement their existing ERP packaged systems
The Philippines in general is a resilient country with its people going through all sorts of challenges in its socio-economic, geo-political, and environment fronts. Different business industries in the country experience difficulties on their day-to-day operations. However, one particular industry in the local business scene is still on the upscale direction-- the Philippine real estate industry. With the present administration’s main thrust on the Build, Build, Build program, private sectors are eye-balling the towns and cities across the country, focusing on the mixed-used properties, roads, bridges, air and sea ports.
In fact, the real estate industry is among the main drivers of GDP growth in the Philippines during the last quarter of 2017 and is still poised to grow for the rest of 2018.
But how can the companies in the real property sector adapt with the increase of demand and growth in this industry? Real Time automated systems are a must to support the financial and operational data needs of property developers and sellers. This article will guide companies in their quest to find the most efficient and effective business solution for the Real Estate Industry with these top 5 best features of a Real Estate Management System.
Legacy systems and off-the-shelf solutions offer non-integrated, disparate sources of data producing inconsistent and unreliable processes and results.
An end-to-end real estate solution provides seamless integration to manage land banking, project conceptualization, construction, inventory management, sales and booking, contracting, online document management, billing and collection, broker management, taxes and titling, and turn-over and move-in.
The thrust of a real estate company is to serve its customers by providing a 360- degree view of each customer’s transactions. There must be an efficient management and monitoring of customer accounts through the use of Customer Ledger and comprehensive collection/cashiering screens that adhere to the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) of income recognition. Displayed on an understandable horizontal format, the Customer Ledger covers all payment components such as Principal, VAT on Principal, Miscellaneous, VAT on Miscellaneous, Penalty, VAT on Penalty, Interest, and VAT on Interest.
With the mandate of regulatory agencies, a fully compliant financial system is necessary for Real Estate Companies to prevent heavy imposition of penalties and inconvenience to both the sellers and the buyers. The financial system must have complete accessibility to create, generate, and publish financial statements, variance analysis, performance management reports and dashboards, and other statutory and management reports. Direct and/or inter-agency compliance with prevailing regulatory requirements set forth under the Maceda Law, Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR), and Housing and Land Use Regulatory Board (HLURB) must be inherent to the transactional system.
At the onset costs, timeline, and progress must be observed and examined carefully to protect the interest of the development and construction phase. The system should be fully integrated to support the extensive process of project management from pre-construction to project close-out or turn-over. With exacting features in project budget, construction stages and activities, project calendar and construction timelines, and Percentage of Completion (POC) or project progress, the Project Management System will deliver a cost effective and timely completion of the projects.
A critical function that provides a holistic approach in promoting the continuing relationship with customers, vendors, and brokers by providing interactive communication thru the on-line system offering ready access to information.
The NOAH Real Estate Management System, which is one of the galleries of NOAH Business Applications, possesses all these features as the foundation of a mission critical system addressing the demands and challenges of the Real Estate Industry. With NOAH Real Estate Management System, upward trend will continue, growth will be realized, and success will be inevitable.
