Who we are
Two people who live on Cebu
Ilshat answers every message and call before you pay. Valery does everything on the ground after that. You always know which one you are talking to.
Valery Predko
On Cebu since July 2024. Speaks fluent English. He has helped more than 120 people settle here.
He does the search and talks to owners. He meets you at the airport and moves you in. Then he answers your calls for your first 14 days.
He started this after losing 10,000 pesos of his own deposit to a bad landlord. He does not want that to happen to you.
Ilshat Sharapov
Lives on Cebu since 2024. He answers every email, call and WhatsApp before you pay, and replies himself within 24 hours.
He handles the paperwork questions and sends the invoice. The name on it is his.
What we are, and what we are not
We are a private arrival service. We are not a real-estate brokerage, and we do not sell property.
We are paid once, by you. We take nothing from landlords on rentals. If you want to buy instead, we bring in a vetted agent and Valery comes with you to viewings.
How to check we are real
Please check. Do it before you pay anything. Here is everything you can look at yourself.

The invoice
You only ever pay on an invoice from Ilshat, by bank transfer. The name on it is the name of the man on your call. If anyone else asks you for money in our name, do not pay. Write to [email protected].
What we will never do
- Ask you to pay an owner before you have stood in the apartment.
- Ask for gift cards, crypto or cash sent by a stranger.
- Hurry you. You can take as long as you like to decide.
Ask us anything
Ilshat replies himself within 24 hours.
