PBL Days
Sta. Lucia's contribution can be traced back to the Philippine Basketball League during the late 1980s and early 1990s. The Philippine Basketball League (PBL is a commercial semi-professional basketball league in the Philippines. Marlou Aquino once was a member of the Sta. Lucia PBL team. Afterwards, Sta.

But, Sta. Lucia had the top pick in the draft and selected amateur star Zandro "Jun" Limpot of De La Salle University-Manila. With Limpot carrying the new Sta. Lucia team for the 1993 season, the Realtors managed to surprise everyone with a semi-finals appearance that led to a fourth place finish in the All-Filipino Conference.

At this point, Sta. Lucia's best year was in 1997 when the Realtors finished third in the All-Filipino, and fourth in the Commissioner's Cup and Governor's Cup. The 1997 PBA season was the twenty-third season of the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA The ironic part was that they took on San Miguel in all Battle-for-Third games under former Purefoods head coach Chot Reyes while the Realtors selected Jason Webb as the third overall pick in the draft. The Purefoods Tender Juicy Giants is a Philippine Basketball Association (PBA team under the Purefoods-Hormel division of the San Miguel Corporation.
Reyes left the team in 1998, replacing him with Derrick Pumaren, Limpot's former coach at La Salle and Magnolia in the PABL.

The 1992 PBA season was the eighteenth season of the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA Still, the Realtors placed dead last in the All-Filipino.
Fil-American Robert Parker and Parker's college teammate Kwan Johnson joined the team in the 1999 Commissioner's Cup. The 1999 PBA season was the twenty-fifth season of the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA The addition of both Parker and Johnson revived the franchise and eventually led to a fourth-place finish in the tournament. However, it was proven that Parker was a fake Filipino-American and left the Philippines afterwards, leaving Johnson as Sta. Lucia's import for the Governor's Cup. Sta. Lucia owner Exy Robles and the Realtors management were charged by the government for hiring Parker, which later dropped.
The departure of Parker left the Realtors to a struggling performance in the season-ending Governor's Cup. Johnson was eventually replaced by Joe Temple during the course of the tournament.

However, in the Governor's Cup, Damian Owens was Sta. Lucia's import and the Realtors dominated the tournament to secured their second finals appearance against the heavily-favored San Miguel team.
After both team's split their series in Game Four, the Realtors won both Games 5 and 6. Game Six was the most dramatic as the game was tightly contested. After San Miguel import Lamont Strothers tied the game at 72 with an off-balanced runner, Chris Tan hit a 24-foot three-pointer with three seconds remaining to give Sta. Lucia the lead for good to win their first-ever PBA championship with a 75-72 Game 6 win and a 4-2 series victory.

During the 2003 PBA Draft, Sta.

In the 2004 PBA Fiesta Conference, with former Purefoods import Derrick Brown as reinforcement, the Realtors blew a double-digit lead to lose to eventual champion Barangay Ginebra Kings in the wildcard knockout phase of the tournament.

However, the Realtors won only one game during the wildcard phase to bow out of the tournament with a 1-2 record, defeating Talk N' Text in their final game of the season.
2006-07 season
In the offseason, Sta Lucia have a big dispute with their point guard Alex Cabagnot, after the latter returned to the United States before a scheduled postseason team meeting. After months of failing to communicate with the team, and also playing for a Los Angeles-based summer league squad, the team handed out an indefinite suspension. But Cabagnot has since mended fences with the Realtors management and was able to play during the season.
During the 2006 PBA Draft, the Realtors selected Filipino-American Kelly Williams as its first overall pick in the draft.

However, a late slump followed a one-game playoff loss to Purefoods relegated the Realtors in the wildcard phase. Despite a 1-2 win-loss record, Sta Lucia was able to gain a berth in a knockout game due to their superior record in both the classification and wildcard phase. The Realtors defeated the Air21 Express 121-118 to advance to the quarterfinals for the first time since the 2003 Reinforced Conference. However, Sta Lucia lost 3-1 to Red Bull in the five-game series despite a Game 1 victory.

They went 2-6 with Williams and got booted out in the wild card phase of the tournament by San Miguel Beermen.
2007-08 season
The realtors undergone a major overhaul on the roster. Coach Boyet Fernandez retain only 6 players from the previous roster and went on to tap undiscovered talents on rookie free agent. Coach Boyet decided to get deserving players that haven't have the chance to play in the PBA. The realtors got Ryan Reyes, a standout PG from PBL and Melvin Mamaclay, standout player from NBC thru the draft. Obtain services of Dennis Daa, Christian Coronel and Phillip Butel from the rookie free agent pool. And obtain the services of a former green archer Joseph Yeo to complement the game of reyes and williams and to add the slasher that the teams lack on previous years. Now, sta. lucia is making everybody pay. All players provides spark and inspiration to their game. Adapting to the new rules that fits the physicality of the Sta. Lucia game, the team is making progress. They are able to blow out other teams to win and having close contested losses on very talented and 12 man deep team like Magnolia and Talk and Text. But though theres a great improvement on team character and roster, Sta. Lucia still lacks the offensive patterns that will make it a very deadly team. The team are still having some inconsistency on their game. They'll be able to blow out team for wins then will just get blown the next game. Inconsistency and offensive patterns are the problems the team have for now but the season is still early and fans and optimist believes that this is the year of the Realtors.
Sta. Lucia ended the elimination round of the All-Filipino Cup with 8 straight wins to get one of the two outright semi-finals slots along with the Purefoods Tender Juicy Giants. The Purefoods Tender Juicy Giants is a Philippine Basketball Association (PBA team under the Purefoods-Hormel division of the San Miguel Corporation.

The Purefoods Tender Juicy Giants is a Philippine Basketball Association (PBA team under the Purefoods-Hormel division of the San Miguel Corporation.
"Pure-Filipino" Policy
Sta. Lucia has a policy of fielding all pure-Filipino lineup, which meant for the team to acquire only those players who have no foreign blood. This is criticized by many PBA fans because of Sta. Lucia's reluctance to improve their team. Some blamed center Marlou Aquino for this implementation. Aquino is a staunch opponent against fake Fil-foreign players that have invaded the PBA since the arrival of Asi Taulava and Eric Menk and others in 1999, in which he had appeared in several Senate committee hearings in the past. An Overseas Filipino is a person of Philippine origin who lives outside of the Philippines. Year 1999 ( MCMXCIX) was a Common year starting on Friday (link will display full 1999 Gregorian calendar)
However, Aquino is a PBA player said to be bombarded by criticisms by fans. Some question his work-ethic for showing up lackluster or lazy performances since the arrival of these Filipino-Americans while being paid a maximum salary of 500,000 pesos a month.
Another conflict here is in the case of Alex Cabagnot. Cabagnot is considered by many as a Filipino-American after spending his high school and collegiate studies in the United States. However, the PBA listed him as a local player, since he was born in the Philippines to Filipino parents.
But, after the Realtors drafted Filipino-American Kelly Williams, it looks as though the team is beginning to open on acquiring mixed Filipino cagers on its roster.
