Martin really helped us develop the negotiation/ sales skills required for our strategy – this will truly help us on achieving our property business objectives.

It was a great experience for us. Martin was constantly testing us to ensure we were learning and thinking on our own feet. The first day was well structured, focusing heavily on our individual situations, which set the tone and direction for the rest of the mentorship. It was also refreshing to hear that property isn’t the only route to building wealth, and it’s important to have multiple streams of income. We would like to really thank Martin for all the information he shared with us, along with his honesty and patience.
