About MRD

Who I am, and who I’m here for.

Straight answers, no hidden agenda, and in your corner for good.

Short version

If you want someone to tell you straight, give your plans a second look, or give you an unbiased view before you buy, I’m your guy. Your first call is free.

Well done for being here

It’s easy not to make time for this. Football, family and the pub all come first, and that’s fair. You’ve chosen to give your future a little priority. That is how the kids and grandkids stay off struggle street.

Who I’m here for

You’re not on top of it yet, and you want it said straight. I’ll tell you where you stand, kindly and plainly.

You’ve done well, and you want a second look. I’ll lay your pathways out side by side, so you can see what each would mean.

You’re about to buy, and you want an unbiased view first. I’ll check the numbers on the property or site, and tell you what I see.

Who I am

You want someone who has walked the road you’re on. I’m a husband, a dad and a grandfather, so I know who this is often really for: the people you love. Nothing came easily. Every step took hard work, and it still does. We’ve been building our own property portfolio since 2001, so we’ve steered through the same ups and downs you may be facing, in our own investing and alongside clients.

You’d be in good company. I’ve been in real estate since 1997, and my teaching, coaching and mentoring has reached tens of thousands of people. When you want to take the next step, you work with me closely, as hundreds of people have done to build their property portfolios. Some started recently. Some have been with me since 2002.

What you get from all of that is plain answers on your own situation, from someone who has done the hard yards. It starts with your first call, and your first call is free.

The voice in our films is an AI version of mine. The man behind it is not AI, and you’ll speak to me.

How I work

Many people avoid a problem and hope it fixes itself. I’ve done it, and it bit me. So I’ll name the trouble honestly, then give you the knowledge to see it clearly. Clarity brings calm, and calm brings hope. Then we take one step.

I teach, run the numbers and give a second opinion. Our concierge handles the practical side, from contract to keys and after. When you need a broker, accountant or solicitor, we introduce you to people we trust. You make every decision.

What I won’t do

I won’t chase you. If help from me won’t serve you, I’ll say so. I only take on work where we both come out ahead.

What it costs

Most of this site is free: the library, the films, the lessons by email. If you’d like me personally involved, for something simple or something bigger, the first call is always free. I listen first, then put a fair and reasonable price to you in a proposal. There is no obligation.

In your corner

Once I’ve helped you, I’m in your corner. That doesn’t end.

Your first call is free.
