Reelist8, a DOST-backed Philippine financial technology company in the real estate and construction sector, has officially launched its AI-powered ecosystem. The platform aims to help address the country’s housing affordability challenges by enabling qualified Filipinos to own a home for as little as 0.5% equity.

Reelist8 unveiled this new technology at the Philippine Startup Week community event called “Unlock Reelist8- Housing Liquidity in the Age of AI: Affordable Homeownership thru Technology” at Acceler8 Legaspi, Makati City. The launch was graced by over 150 business executives from various industries, sponsors, celebrities, and media guests.

The new ecosystem features integrated applications such as Property Auctions (PropertyAuctions.ph) and Buildin (Buildin.com.ph). Made for buyers and investors, PropertyAuctions.ph empowers clients to discover and win below-market-value deals through auctions. Meanwhile, Buildin.com.ph is an all-in-one project management tool that turns floor plans into priced takeoffs instantly for contractors and designers.

“Owning a home shouldn’t be a privilege for the lucky few; it’s a basic human right. We built Reelist8 as the intelligent path to make that right a reality,” said Marianne Dela Cruz, Chief Executive Officer of Reelist8. “We at Reelist8 hope to empower more Filipinos to become homeowners through a tangible and affordable path.”

“Our goal with this new ecosystem is to keep it simple,” shared de Borja. “Every Filipino deserves access to efficient and accessible world-class tools. That’s why we’re making homeownership easier and more affordable.”
