Marcus worked with Andrew Boast, Conveyancing Director and Co-Founder of SAM Conveyancing, not long after the formation of the company, attracted by Andrew's Share a Mortgage concept, which was - and is - a fresh approach to tackling the housing crisis.

"I'd worked with Andrew before and realised then not only that we worked together very productively but that his overall knowledge of most subjects associated with moving home is second to none.

When I coupled that with his standards of integrity when dealing with clients - he really is prepared to go the extra mile and look after all customers and seems to speak everyone's language - I realised that I wanted to help him be as successful as possible in his chosen area of expertise and assist him wherever I could. This has been the case to the present day. He has built an excellent team and one that I'm very proud to be associated with."
