Tired of “good enough” products and services? I was! Looking for the best Realtor in Davao City who “does more” and makes you feel like your needs are his first priority? I was! Luckily, I found Donato Te Esparrago ll, broker from Dakbayan Realty on October 16, 2016, in Davao City. I arrived in Davao City from Los Angeles, CA on October 10, 2016, to evaluate Davao City as a suitable place for my upcoming retirement in 3 years. I did not know anybody, and I wanted to explore the city and housing market. I engaged with realtors from large real estate firms like Robinsons Land, Allea Real Estate, HT Realty Philippines, Realty Davao, C.G. Torefiel Realty, etc., but the realtors from these companies were limited on time and only interested in just making a quick sale without understanding my needs and future retirement goals. I contacted Donato due to his expertise in working with Expats and his license as an International Real Estate Broker to setup an appointment with him and in the same day we met to discuss my needs and my retirement goals. It was like talking with a good friend, with no BS. Donato is an extremely intelligent, caring, honest person who knows the ins and outs of the real estate business and local market. We became friend in a matter of minutes, he was just the person I wanted and that I could trust and needed in the adventure of my retirement in Davao City. After seven (7) years working exclusively with Donato, I have purchased 7 properties and a Call Center in Davao City. In summary Donato is focused, dedicated, honest, trustworthy, and responsive. He always replies to my text or phone call instantly. He's been very proactive to reach out people to showcase his talent of Excellence in customer care. He's also being understanding and empathetic, making great effort to benefit all parties. If you want results, I strongly recommend using the Dakbayan Real Estate Team, if you truly want the best realtor with no BS with a personal and professional approach without the high pressure of other real estate companies, ask for Donato Te Esparrago II, I promise you won't be disappointed. Donato and I still talk frequently and have become good friends, and he will be my realtor for life.

I have nothing but praises for Sir Donato and Dakbayan Realty. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ As a backstory, my family and I are based in Manila. However, my dad, when he was younger, managed to acquire a property in Davao City, which he would normally rent out, and personally visit from time to time. In 2019, when my dad passed, my family and I decided to sell said property. We found Sir Donato, and Dakbayan Realty via Google, took a chance, called him and met up with him. Best Google search by far. Ever since 2019, Sir Donato has been on top of everything related to our Davao Property (overseeing maintenance and clean up, up to the documentary requirements). He really has proven himself to be solid and reliable. We (in Manila) no longer had to worry whenever they was a concern with our Davao property. Yesterday, come the actual sale of the property, we came to Davao confident, as Sir Donato prepared the documents and handled the arrangements. He made sure that the transaction went smoothly as planned. Now, even after the sale, Sir Donato even found the time to accomodate us as we fly back to Manila. Thank you Sir Donato for everything.

Donato and Dakbayan Realty has been one of my best experiences with a realtor in my lifetime of buying and selling homes. We first met Don when visiting Davao in August 2019, from the US, to sell our home in Davao City. My wife is Filipino, and for now we reside in the US. Working with our SPA was a breeze with Don. He handled every issue that arose, from paying taxes, homeowner's association dues, procuring the bill of sale, working with a lawyer on all documents, and much much more. He expected no money upfront; instead willing to be paid at final sale, added to his commission. Aside from professional, prompt, responsive customer service, Donato is a gentleman and a great person to get to know. We trusted him in every part of the process, and he made it as easy and worry-free for us as possible. We will surely enlist his services again whenever we need another realtor in Davao City. Thank you Don!
