PRO-FRIENDS: Going Bellefort Estates

It’s amazing how information can be rapidly shared nowadays. You can search for almost anything on the Internet. Long lost friends, esoteric knowledge, weird stuff… you get the drift. You can also search for your dream house. That’s what I found while rummaging through YouTube for movies that I am going to watch during my staycation. I found PRO-FRIENDS , a YouTube channel dedicated to all things Profriends. Profriends also known as Property Company of Friends, Inc. is a real estate development company that is on a mission to make the common Filipino’s dream of owning a house a stark reality.

To accomplish that mission of providing the dream homes of Filipino families, they opted for property developments that feature quality, liveable houses at prices that will not burn away most people’s life savings. Like what I have said, the internet works a lot of wonders that it enabled me to conduct my first look at my dream house just by watching videos. The videos also gave me an idea about Profriend’s company culture, their vision and mission along with their core values. I even saw a virtual tour wherein they showed footages of the drive going to the property location. It gave me an “at a glance” idea of what I am going to expect should I consider taking a look at the property personally. I was interested specifically at the Bellefort Estates residences, a Profriends subdivision development located in the Daang-Hari Molino area in Cavite that features houses with a linear park at the back of each two-story house.

The subdivision is an estate type of development hence the word estates on its name which translates to it being a higher end project that targets consumers and prospective home buyers that belongs to the upper income brackets. Although I am no member of the upper income group, I was able to scrooge up enough cash for me to be able to pay for my dream house in full. Besides, Profriends do not impose strict income requirements as long as you go through all the proper documentation for your loan approval. After watching all the videos and having all of the information I need about Profriends (company background, track records, forum comments, blogs etc.) I was ready to go on a tour of the Bellefort Estates to see if what they promised on the website and on the videos is going to be parallel with the actual features and amenities. I have the following concise observations. I decided to skip the too technical aspects and just narrow it down to the essentials.

Travel time – travel time from where I came from which is Alabang was not that bad. It was actually fast, took me less than 30 minutes to get there inclusive of the traffic light stops and some delays along the way. There was surprisingly no traffic on the Zapote Daang-Hari road. I don’t know if there was something special on that day but I’ll say the traffic situation was not that bad at all.

Amenities – the Bellefort Estates development has all the standard amenities that one could find in similar upscale developments. But the best feature I have seen so far is the linear park or the family courtyard at the back of each house that can be used as a space for any fun outdoor activities imaginable.

House models – Bellefort Estates currently has 5 house models all of which are well-made with quality materials. The commonality between all of the house models is the space. All of them feature bigger spaces starting at 90 square meters and up.  This is definitely for people who have the penchant for bigger real estate.

I have not made any decision yet but once everything is on lock, I am definitely going Bellefort Estates.
