Meet the Broker Behind SeekCebu

Hi, I’m John Paul Ybañez Paquibot – a duly licensed real estate broker and a corporate broker of Bachelors Realty and Brokerage, Inc. Cebu.

I am based in Maribago, Lapu‑Lapu City, and our main office is located at:

G/F Cap Building, Brgy. Corner, Osmeña Blvd., Arlington Pond St. Extension, Cebu City, 6000 Cebu

I created SeekCebu for one simple reason: to give home buyers, sellers, investors, and renters honest, practical, and local insight into Cebu’s property market. No fake promises. No confusing jargon. Just real advice from a licensed professional who works with one of Cebu’s most established real estate firms.


My Credentials & Affiliation

  • PRC License No.: 00014132
    (Professional Regulation Commission – Real Estate Broker)
  • DHSUD Accreditation No.: CVRFO-B-03/18-2672
    (Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development)
  • Corporate Broker: Bachelors Realty and Brokerage, Inc. Cebu
  • President & CEO: Roy Gilbuela, REB

Bachelors Realty is a well‑known name in Cebu real estate, and as one of its corporate brokers, I have access to verified listings, developer networks, and legal support that independent brokers may not. Under the leadership of Sir Roy Gilbuela, the company operates with professionalism, transparency, and a client‑first service.


What SeekCebu Offers

This website is a growing library of practical resources, including:

  • Step‑by‑step buyer/seller guides
  • Neighborhood breakdowns (Cebu City, Mandaue, Lapu‑Lapu, and beyond)
  • Investment tips for OFWs, young professionals, and families
  • Legal & paperwork walkthroughs (no more confusion)
  • Real‑time market updates based on actual transactions

Every article, guide, and answer comes from my daily work as a broker on the ground in Metro Cebu – backed by a reputable brokerage.


Why “SeekCebu”?

Because finding the right property here isn’t just about location – it’s about trust, transparency, and local knowledge. With my corporate affiliation and personal credentials, you can seek Cebu with confidence, knowing you’re dealing with a licensed professional who has a strong institution behind him.
