1. Phase 1: Initial Reservation & Holding Requirements

To lock in your preferred unit, block it from the inventory, and freeze the current price list, you must complete the following:

A. Online Client Registration

Before paying anything, you must be registered in the DMCI Homes portal. This allows you to hold units for free briefly while your paperwork is finalized.

• Accredited Portal Link: Register Online here

B. Reservation Agreement Form

The official document specifying your contact information, chosen unit, parking slot, and payment terms. Your CityQlo advisor will assist you in filling this out digitally.

C. Reservation Fees

• Unit Reservation: ₱30,000

• Parking Slot Reservation (Optional): ₱10,000 (highly recommended if you plan to own a vehicle)

Note: Reservation fees are non-refundable but are fully deductible from your total contract price / down payment. Make sure you are 100% committed to the unit before sending payment.

3. Phase 3: Payment Options & Final Documents (Due in 45 Days)

To move from reservation to official ownership, you must establish a payment method for your monthly equity. DMCI Homes accredits 4 main options:

1. Post-Dated Checks (PDCs)

• How it works: You issue local Philippine checks covering the monthly down payments.

• Alternative: If you do not have a personal local checkbook, you can use a friend''s or relative''s checkbook alongside an Authorization Letter signed by the account owner.

2. Auto Debit Arrangement (ADA)

• Set up direct monthly withdrawals from your local Philippine bank account with accredited partners (BDO, Metrobank, BPI).

3. Bills Payment Option

• Pay monthly down payments via accredited remittance centers (ideal for OFWs). Make sure to state your complete Client ID and Project Reference Number when sending.

4. Robinsons Virtual Bank Account

• Best for Overseas Buyers: We can assist you in opening a dedicated Robinsons Bank virtual account. You can wire your monthly payments directly to this account from anywhere in the world, and it transfers automatically to DMCI.

4. Remote Buying & Special Power of Attorney (SPA)

If you are an OFW working abroad or are physically unable to sign the Contract to Sell (CTS) in the Philippines, you can assign a representative (Attorney-in-Fact).

• The Process: Download the official DMCI SPA template, fill out the representative''s details, sign it, and have it consularized/apostilled in the country of your residence.

• Learn More: Check out our comprehensive OFW remote real estate guide for details on authenticating documents remotely.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I change my unit after paying the reservation fee?

Unit transfers are subject to developer approval and depend on availability. A transfer fee of ₱5,000–₱10,000 may apply, and the price list of the new unit will follow current rates.

What happens if I miss the 7-day document deadline?

DMCI reserve the right to automatically cancel the reservation and release the unit back to the public market. Always coordinate closely with your advisor if you need a short extension.

Can a foreign citizen reserve a unit?

Yes! Foreigners can fully own and register condominium units in the Philippines under their name, provided the project''s foreign ownership limit (40%) is not exceeded.
