"I’ve learned more than I ever expected in such a short time."
“Where do I even start? When I first met Steve and was introduced to the McCleery Company, I knew almost nothing about land development. I’d taken a couple of high-level classes that sparked my interest, but I had no idea how to take the next step. The industry felt massive and overwhelming, and I felt tiny in comparison.
Fast forward a few months into this mentoring program, and while I’m far from a pro, I’ve learned more than I ever expected in such a short time. What stands out the most isn’t just the knowledge or skills I’ve gained, it’s the person who created the program.
Steve doesn’t treat you like just another number. He genuinely cares about you and your growth, not just in land development but in life. His focus on helping you succeed, regardless of what’s in it for him is rare, especially in an industry as competitive as this.
At the end of the day, it’s as much about who you know as what you know. And trust me when I say, Steve is someone you want to know.”
"I chose to “chuck it” and haven’t looked back.”
"When I started the mentorship program, I was in the middle of my first development deal. I learned I had done most of it wrong. It ended up being a success but I knew how to improve.
Since I’ve started mentoring with Steve I am light years away from that initial deal understanding I had. I can play on a high level finding opportunities that make National builders salivate. I have the knowledge to pick out red flags and see pit falls on projects that some of the best developers in the industry are falling into. I know how to structure deals to help builders 4X their business while earning us a 20% IRR. I’m also working on deals that bring in interest from top global international investors.
It’s been a process, and development is hard, often times frustrating. I’ve wanted to quit a few times, but I’ve stuck with it and the McCleery Team has been there to help lift me up when I’ve hit road blocks.
I’m looking forward to the future of this opportunity, doing my own development franchise, and helping the community and company grow.
Land development is not for everyone. But if you’re ready to take the leap, this is the best jump you can take.
I chose to “chuck it” and haven’t looked back.”
