Testimonials

Praise for Property Going Global.

What makes Scott Picken’s story and insights so interesting is the fact that he buys in these markets, too, and so he knows what does and doesn’t work. Additionally, he partners with reputable professionals (from property developers and property managers to financiers) who know the international markets in which they operate. Anyone wishing to invest in offshore property should read this book: it’s very insightful and a useful buyers’ guide.

I have read “Property Going Global” twice and I believe it’s going to be read over and over again. This book shared amazing insights into wealth creation and a clear understanding of how to build generational wealth by spreading your wings internationally in the property space.

For many years, I have done business with Scott Picken and along the way I have got to know a very direct and passionate man. He challenges everyone and rips them out of their comfort zones, which is something we all need in our lives where indecision and procrastination are very prevalent and often cost us dearly. He thoroughly researches all the markets he deals in and backs up all of his statements with information that is hard to fault. Even if you never invest offshore, reading his book will be valuable!

Clem Sunter
Author, Scenario Planner, Futurologist, and Keynote Speaker, South Africa

Scott’s many years of focusing on residential property investor’s needs and his exposure to the foreign offshore markets since the financial collapse is well suited to sharing his knowledge and experience in residential property markets around the world. Exchange rate fluctuations and interest-rate differences from country to country make Scott’s achievements incredible in that he has been the channel and mentor for many to relocate their wealth generating opportunities across several markets and continents.

As a Scotsman who came to South Africa in 1988 and then immigrated to Australia in 1999, I have a large amount of experience in property development, international property, and commercial office park development. I was introduced to Scott and flew out to South Africa to meet with his clients. I really enjoyed his thorough knowledge of the market and how to take advantage of it. I look forward to working with Scott to help more South Africans take advantage of the Australian commercial market. Read this book to understand how.

After more than a decade of traveling to South Africa on business, it becomes apparent who the serious players are. Scott Picken is undoubtedly one of the most consistent and astute proponents of property investment, and certainly its most enthusiastic voice in South Africa. In addition, he has a global outlook, which is all too rare. His bringing to the property world the data and insights of Clem Sunter, of whom I am a big fan, is also very welcome.

Dr. Dolf de Roos

Scott Picken has done the research. He has spent the time and money and done the necessary travel to validate his theories in real estate. His hands-on evaluation of markets all over the world and his keen understanding of the macro-economic picture has elevated him to one of the leading experts on global real estate investing for the individual investor.

Gregory T. Hulet

Brilliant, factual, informative, inspirational, and one of the only books of its kind I have come across to help anyone become a successful international property investor. Scott has written this book from the heart and his caring attitude comes through. This book will help anyone, from the very inexperienced investor to the master investor. This book is priceless.

Gordon Mackay
Investor, author, speaker, and entrepreneur, South Africa

With South Africa standing at a crossroad and houses still over-valued, Scott Picken has some intriguing advice for the man in the street who just loves the investment attributes of property: look beyond your country’s borders. This is so because the Great Recession has opened up fabulous value propositions where previously none existed.

Erwin Rode
Rode & Associates (South Africa’s leading property expert and researcher)

Scott is one of the most knowledgeable people I’ve ever met in the international property sector. I have invested with him in the past and would gladly do so again in the future. Condensing all of his knowledge into one book must have been a serious task but for the international property investor, that makes “Property Going Global” a must read.

Alastair Constance

Brilliant, factual, informative, inspirational, and one of the only books of its kind I have come across to help anyone become a successful international property investor. Scott has written this book from the heart and his caring attitude comes through. This book will help anyone, from the very inexperienced investor to the master investor. This book is priceless.

Gordon Mackay
Investor, author, speaker, and entrepreneur, South Africa

I have known Scott for around eight years and have known him to be very astute in identifying undervalued properties in the United Kingdom, London, Australia, and, more recently, America. With appropriate financial advice and structuring, many of these have turned into successful business deals.

Ian Scott
Senior Managing Partner of Grant Thornton, South Africa

As one of top commercial property trainers in the USA, I read countless “How to” books, but Scott Picken has teamed up with the legendary Clem Sunter, and his book gives you so much more than just the how. Scott gives you precisely the where, when and why, as in WHY invest in particular countries, and WHY you must do so NOW. Having helped over 2,000 investors acquire R2 Billion in assets for 15 years, if anybody knows how to help investors locate exceptional opportunities and minimize risk, it’s Scott. You ignore him at your own peril.

Jason Gilbert
Business Coach and Commercial Property Expert, USA

In a few short years, Scott Picken has coupled his positive energy with a fast–acquired knowledge of global investment dynamics and, in particular, how to make sound property investments work for you, which is a subject close to my heart. His book is destined to change many lives for the better and has the capacity to greatly enrich those who grasp and apply its concepts.

Scott Picken is an industry leader and this book is packed with his trusted expert advice, knowledge, and guidelines. A must-read for anyone with a foot in the investing industry; his book will definitely own a prime-spot on our company’s bookshelf!
