How to Make a Premium Property Post on ManilaOpenHouse

A regular listing tells buyers what your property is. A Premium Property on ManilaOpenHouse shows them — with a fast-loading page, an SEO-ready description that actually gets found on Google, real photos and walkthrough videos, an interactive map of everything nearby, and instant alerts the moment someone inquires. If you have ever wondered why some listings feel like a proper property tour and others feel like a classified ad, this is the difference. Here is everything Premium includes and how to set one up.

What exactly is a Premium Property?

Think of a standard listing as your property's ID photo — accurate, but not exactly flattering. A Premium Property is the full portrait: a dedicated, richer listing page built to give buyers and investors a complete, almost walk-in-person view of a single property, before they ever set foot inside it.

It is still the same ManilaOpenHouse listing flow you already know, just with a set of upgrades layered on top once you flip the Premium switch.

A cozy bedroom nightstand with a table lamp, two paperback books, and a marble coaster, set against pastel pink and grey pillows on a neatly made bed — The kind of full, lived-in detail a Premium listing page is built to show off — not just a bedroom, but the actual feel of it.

Fast-loading pages

Nobody scrolls through a slow listing while stuck in EDSA traffic on a spotty signal, and Premium pages are built to load quickly even on that same 4G connection. A page that opens fast is a page that actually gets read to the end — which matters more than it sounds, because most inquiries happen on mobile.

A smartphone mounted on a car dashboard showing turn-by-turn GPS navigation, a 14-minute ETA, and a 40 mph speed limit, with a tree visible through the windshield — The exact scenario this section is built for — checking a listing on a dashboard-mounted phone mid-drive, where a slow page never gets a second chance to load.

SEO-ready descriptions

Premium listings come with descriptions written to be found, not just read. That means the kind of detail search engines (and serious buyers) are actually looking for — location, unit type, key features — instead of a vague one-liner. A well-written description is doing marketing for you 24 hours a day, long after you have stopped thinking about the listing.

Beautiful photo galleries

Buyers decide whether to keep scrolling within seconds, and photos are almost always what makes that call. Premium supports a full, organized gallery so a two-bedroom condo unit does not have to compete with a five-photo listing when it deserves twenty good ones.

A bright, modern L-shaped kitchen with glossy light-grey cabinetry, a built-in oven, stainless range hood, and dark wood-look flooring — This is the kind of shot a real gallery makes room for — the sort of detail a five-photo listing never gets around to showing.

A hand holding up a smartphone with a camera grid overlay, framing a shot of a bright kitchen and dining area with wooden stools and a staircase in the background — Building that gallery starts with someone actually composing the shot — framing the room instead of firing off a quick snapshot.

Walkthrough videos

A gallery shows a property. A walkthrough video lets someone feel the flow of it — how the living area opens into the kitchen, how much natural light comes through in the afternoon, whether the bedroom actually fits a queen bed comfortably. For overseas buyers especially, a short video can do the work of an actual site visit until they can fly in.

A person's hands holding up a smartphone recording a 10-second video of a garden shed and greenery, shown through the phone's camera viewfinder with a red recording indicator — A walkthrough does not need a film crew — just someone willing to hit record and actually walk the space.

A living room set up for video production, with a camera gimbal, a softbox LED light on a stand, and a small tripod arranged on a glass coffee table in front of a couch — For listings that go a step further, that phone recording becomes a small production — proper lighting and a stabilized camera doing the work a site visit used to.

Interactive maps with nearby establishments

Location sells property, but "near everything" is not information — a map is. Premium listings include an interactive map that plots the nearby schools, malls, hospitals, and transport links a buyer actually cares about, so they can judge the neighborhood for themselves instead of taking your word for it.

A laptop screen showing an Airbnb-style property search with listing photos and prices on the left and an interactive map with price pins scattered across a city on the right, with a person's hands on the keyboard and trackpad — This is the layout Premium borrows for its own map — listings and location pinned side by side so a buyer can judge the neighborhood without leaving the page.

Estimated travel times

Paired with the map, Premium also shows estimated travel times to those nearby points — the difference between "close to BGC" and "about 15 minutes from BGC." For a market where commute time is practically a lifestyle decision, that single detail can be what convinces a buyer to book a viewing.

A person's hands holding a smartphone displaying a ride-hailing style app with a 'Choose pick-up' map screen and a single red location pin — The same instinct that makes a rideshare app show your pickup pin at a glance is what Premium's travel-time estimates are built to satisfy.

Multiple languages and currencies

A meaningful share of property buyers and investors in the Philippines are based overseas or transacting in a currency other than pesos. Premium listings can present pricing and details in multiple languages and currencies, so a buyer in Singapore or the US can read the numbers the way they actually think about them, without doing mental conversion math.

SMS and email inquiry notifications

None of the above matters if an inquiry sits unread for two days. Premium listings send you SMS and email notifications the moment a buyer reaches out, so you can reply while their interest is still warm — which, in real estate, is often the whole difference between a lead and a closed deal.

A smartphone lock screen at 5:32 on a Friday afternoon showing a message notification about unusual account activity, over a pink and dark abstract wallpaper — The same instant-alert reflex a bank uses for account activity is what fires the moment a buyer sends an inquiry — no refreshing an inbox required.

Who Premium is really for

Sellers and lessors who want to attract serious, decided buyers rather than casual browsers.
Brokers marketing a flagship unit that deserves more than a standard entry.
Overseas buyers and investors who rely on the currency and language options to evaluate a property properly from abroad.

How to set one up

Getting a Premium Property live is a short extension of the listing flow you already use:

Post your property the normal way first (see our How To Post guide if you have not done this before).
On your listing, select the Premium option.
Add your walkthrough video, drop pins for the nearby establishments you want shown on the map, and fill in the extra details Premium asks for.
Save, and your upgraded listing page is live.

The exact buttons and steps may shift slightly as we polish the platform, so always follow what you see on the actual posting screen — it is the source of truth, not this article.

A few tips for a genuinely great Premium post

Shoot a short, simple walkthrough video — even a steady phone recording beats no video at all.
Write an honest, specific description. "Bright two-bedroom unit with west-facing balcony" beats "must see, will not last" every time.
Add the landmarks buyers genuinely ask about — the nearest school, hospital, mall, or train station — rather than every establishment within a five-kilometer radius.

The takeaway: a Premium Property does not just describe your listing, it lets buyers experience it — and that is usually what turns a browser into an inquiry.
