Despite being born in Scotland back in the early 80s, I haven’t spent that much of my life there (which you’ll be able to tell the minute you hear my accent)!
Most of my childhood was spent abroad in countries like Brazil, Portugal and even a short spell in the Middle East.
I believe my love of property started when I used to go around with mum and dad viewing different houses, all with their own unique points of interest (good & bad)!
It wasn’t until 2005 however, that I started my property journey as a trainee lettings negotiator, following a very successful 5 years in sales & business development roles. I had to start at the bottom of a new industry but boy was it worth it!
Over the following years I developed my knowledge, making sure I was learning all I could about the property process, helping clients with their property needs.
Whilst I enjoyed every role I worked in, I knew I was capable of more and in 2014 I left the world of employment and set up my own property consultancy (Goliath Property Solutions) helping clients buy property in the UK and abroad.
2016 saw the launch of my training academy (Goliath Sourcing Academy – co-founded with a former business partner) following lots of requests from people asking me to share my knowledge and experience with them to launch their own property sourcing company.
Fast forward to today and I’ve relaunched my property consultancy (Miramar Property Hunters) following a COVID “sabbatical” helping time poor investors start building their property portfolios and “done with you” coaching services, both to help you build a property portfolio and/or build a property sourcing business!

In 2017 I won an award for “Best Property Investment Advisory” only a couple of years after launching Goliath Property Solutions.
Whilst I don’t do what I do for awards, it’s nice to be recognised every now and then for the hard work, attention to detail and impeccable service for my clients.
Over the past few years I’ve been fortunate enough to have been interviewed by several industry experts and have presented at numerous property networking meetings up and down the UK. Below are a few links to those if you’re interested in hearing a bit more about me…
Anyone can pick a property off Rightmove and negotiate 5% off the asking price. You know that the REAL profits are made when you can reliably track down those elusive “below market value” or lease option opportunities… but where do you even start?
Mark shares in great depth how best to approach the sourcing of properties, deal packaging, and much more in an interview that goes much deeper than property.
Mark has had a passion for property from a young age, when he remembers the excitement of doing viewings around multiple houses with his dad. Like most of us though, he was distracted from this for a time by the corporate world, working telesales, then door to door selling, and eventually recruitment before finally returning to property in 2005.
This week I am joined by Mark Dunsmore who had a passion for property from a young age but like so many of us, he was distracted from this for a time by the pull of the corporate world working telesales, door-to-door selling, and eventually recruitment before returning to his real love of property in 2005!
