On December 12, the Philippine real estate market got a new player. NoneAway, a property technology platform backed by global venture capital and co-founded by the person who brought Viber to the Philippines, launched in beta with ₱8.8 billion worth of exclusive listings. For buyers, sellers, renters, and brokers, the promise is a single, secure, and free-to-use marketplace that eliminates the clutter and duplication common in other property portals. The platform curates premium properties ranging from ₱30 million to as high as ₱1.4 billion, partnering exclusively with top-tier brokers and brokerages. That initial ₱8.8 billion figure has since grown to over ₱60 billion in verified listings, with more than 300 active brokers and agents onboarded across 30 key urban and rural markets.
What NoneAway Offers to Different Users
NoneAway isn’t just another listing site. It’s built around three distinct user groups, each with specific tools designed to solve common pain points in Philippine property transactions.
What Makes NoneAway Different
Most property platforms in the Philippines struggle with duplicate listings, unverified agents, and a cluttered user experience. NoneAway addresses these with a set of features that are rare—or entirely new—in the local market.
AI-powered verification is central. Every listing and user profile goes through an automated check before going live. This reduces the risk of scams and fake listings, a persistent problem in online real estate. The platform also enforces a strict no-duplicate policy: the same property appears only once, regardless of how many agents market it. For a buyer, that means less noise and more trust.
Privacy is handled differently. Anti-screenshot protection prevents unauthorized copying of property images and agent profiles. Users can share their profile instantly via a QR code or a link, but the platform controls who sees what. In-app chat is encrypted and keeps all communications within the ecosystem.
For brokers, the off-market inventory is a major draw. Properties worth ₱8 billion are exclusive to NoneAway—they won’t be found on other portals. This is made possible by partnerships with top brokers like Bobby Kok (Chief Agency Officer of ERA Philippines), Roshan Gangaramani (CEO of RE/MAX Gold Philippines with ₱3 billion in sales), and Miguel Naval (Country Manager of RE/MAX Philippines, overseeing 300+ top-performing agents). The platform is also backed by venture capital firms Forge Ventures, Wavemaker Partners, Kaya Partners, and Vulpes, with Jani Rautiainen, co-founder of PropertyGuru, as an investor and advisor.
How to Get Started
NoneAway is available now on iOS, Android, and the web. The app is free to download and free to use—there are no listing fees for sellers or agents, and no charges for browsing.
To begin as a buyer or renter:
- Download from the App Store or Google Play, or visit noneaway.com.
- Create an account and complete the AI-powered verification process (takes a few minutes).
- Browse listings using filters for location, price, property type, and broker. Each listing is verified and free of duplicates.
- Use in-app chat to contact the broker directly, or share your profile via QR code to connect quickly.
For sellers and agents, the process is similar: register, verify, and list your property. The AI content creator can help generate descriptions and even animated media. Anti-screenshot protection keeps your images secure.
Brokers interested in partnering can reach out through the platform. NoneAway’s team of industry partners includes Eva Marzan (President of Infinity Realty Ph and Lead Licensed Broker), Richard Corr Manuel (25-year residential property expert), and Atty. Jill Gerodias Borja (Senior Broker and real estate lawyer), among others. The platform is also expanding into 30 key markets across the Philippines, from Metro Manila to provincial cities.

What to Do Next
NoneAway is still in its early stages, but the growth from ₱8.8 billion to over ₱60 billion in listings within months signals strong demand for a verified, premium property marketplace. If you’re in the market for a high-value home or investment property, the platform is worth exploring—especially the off-market inventory that isn’t available elsewhere. For brokers and agents, the free listing model and AI tools could simplify client engagement. Keep an eye on the platform’s expansion into the B2C segment, which may eventually open the door for more affordable listings. In the meantime, verify everything yourself: even with AI verification, it’s still smart to personally inspect properties and deal only with licensed brokers.
