Quietly handling the hundred little things so your first day in Manila feels like home.

I help you choose the right neighborhood and home in Metro Manila; then I help you get set up quickly (utilities, logistics, day-to-day). The goal is simple: make good decisions fast, with local context, and without pressure.

If you already know this region and its neighborhoods well, maybe not. Most clients hire me because the costly mistakes here are easy to make: wrong neighborhood for your routine, a lease you regret, hidden building issues, time wasted on viewings that were never a fit. I reduce the trial-and-error and help you make choices you won’t regret.

No. I don’t accept commissions or referral fees. I work for my clients, not for landlords or brokers. This way my advice stays clean.

We start with a short call, then you complete a structured intake form. From there I build a short list based on your non-negotiables, and we do on-the-ground neighborhood + property viewings together (not just links and screenshots). You get clear comparisons and a decision path without hidden agendas or pressure.

Yes. I can support either: company-paid invoicing or reimbursement-friendly documentation. If HR needs something specific for approvals, I keep it straightforward and professional.

Metro Manila plus the common commuter belt (including areas like Alabang, Nuvali, and nearby growth hubs south/east of the city). If your target area is outside that, you can still ask; I’ll tell you quickly if it’s a fit.

I’ll help you understand neighborhood tradeoffs, building security basics, commute realities, and everyday habits that matter in Manila. I’m not a security firm, but I am careful and grounded about what’s actually useful.

Yes. I will help you source options, screen them, interview, and set up a trial so you can decide with confidence. You will be the employer; I’m helping you choose well, not creating dependency.

I don’t provide legal/immigration advice, and I don’t “guarantee” outcomes I can’t control (like a landlord approving you). I’ll tell you what’s realistic, and what isn’t.

Pricing is published on the Services page, there are no hidden numbers. If you’re deciding whether it’s worth it, start there and book a consult if you want help choosing the right scope.

If you have an urgent timeline, ask. I’ll tell you honestly what the firm and I can take on and what pace we can sustain without cutting corners.

I keep details discreet and share information only on a need-to-know basis. This is especially important to me as the spouse of a diplomatic staff, and for any of you in similar positions.

Yes, I said “I.” No, it’s not an ego thing. It just keeps things honest—you’re working directly with me (and yes, I’m the one you’ll be texting when a building’s internet install gets rescheduled… again). My name’s Kanishka; I’m the founder behind Ybler. You can read more about me and this firm in our About section.
