Lisa, let us not forget you are on this Board to sell property that you have a vested interest, and this means you have a biased opinion about Brazil, the market there and specifically the properties you make commission on. You say you have 15 construction (real estate) projects in 15 countries and offices in US, Norway and Spain. Frankly, that is hard to believe unless you work for a media mogul like Mr. Murdock or Trump.That said, where are you and what is your motivation here exactly? And again, Iīm extremely skeptical about people and outsiders like yourself coming to Brazil. Whatīs your payback on these 1st world projects in 2nd/3rd world countries like Brazil (northeast)?
And Lisa, Iīm no expert but Iīve done enough business in Brazil to form an educated opinion about the country, so I want the bottom line in regards to what you are doing here on this Forum and what you hope to gain by posting here.
Finally, why should we trust you and where are your references and what is ĻGran Natal GolfĻ about?
Thanks

Firstly I donīt see the necessity to defend myself on here, however as you have asked, I will respond. I would hope that my reputation would have preceded me with the many (I believe informative) posts that I have made. I donīt deny that I have a marketing interest on this forum, but like yourself I pay my subscription and place these postings in the relevant sub-section.
I have been a member on the forum now for well over a year and over that time have tried to contribute with the knowledge I have obtained through my own personal research.
With regards to my company, we are Marben International. Our head office is in La Manga Club, Spain. We have satellite offices in La Cala de Mijas on Costa Del Sol, another in New Boston in New Hampshire, USA and an administration office just outside Oslo in Norway. We donīt claim to be anywhere near the size of the Trump Organization or indeed any other multinational blue chip PLC type of business. We are however successful, and in true American style believe that service and honesty to our clients is key.
I can assure you I am very much "English" - although had part of my education in USA and some in France. I was however raised for the bulk of my life in Lancashire in the North of England and my Major was Law and Business from the university of West London.
I am 36 years old, have worked for 2 very large corporate blue chip Top 100 FTSE organisations in the UK before moving to Spain almost 7 years ago. Since then I have been in the Real Estate sector and like so many worked my way from the bottom to the position I hold now of Customer Service and Marketing Director.
With regards to this specific post, I am merely trying to assist those people (not all of which have previously bought through me) to ensure their large deposits are returned in a timely fashion. This is out of professional loyalty and nothing more. Hopefully the people concerned appreciate the time and effort I have invested in trying to sort things out for them, and I hope that with those people, with whom I have now had many conversations, that there is certainly an element of trust there.
I understand your personal thoughts about Brazil, however one could make the same comments about so many other countries around the world. Every market has its advantages and disadvantages. It is essential that through research, any prospective buyer understands this. I always try to highlight the proīs and the cons of buying anywhere. If you would like to see testimonials from many of my previous buyers, and industry colleagues, then drop me a PM as I will happily send these to you.
I hope this response gives you some faith, but feel free to pose any further questions you may have.
Lisa
