Summit Realty commenced operations in the village of Dededo in the United States Territory of Guam in 1994 for the purpose of brokering and consulting clients seeking professional real estates services. Its office was located on the second floor of the Lee Commercial Building situated on Route 16 right next to the Iglesia Ni Cristo.
Summit Realty brokered many residential, commercial and industrial properties on Guam for various Guam based clients and also clients from Japan, Korea, Philippines, People’s Republic of China, Saipan, Micronesia, Palau and the United States of America. Summit Realty assisted many happy clients acquire homes and commercial properties on Guam and packaged various bank loans to assist the clients with their financing needs.
Summit Realty eventually closed its operations on Guam in 1999 and opened in the Republic of Palau in 2000. Its first client in Palau was the Government of Palau, when Summit Realty brokered the purchase of a 10 acre property located in the village of Yigo, located next to the former Hatsuho Golf Course.
Today, Summit Realty celebrates its 10 years of operations in Palau, brokering property sales and leases as well as valuating real estate for the use of financing institutions, banks, investors and property owners. In 2007, Summit Realty brokered the largest single real estate transaction in Palau and assisted many satisfied clients acquire and lease properties in Palau.
