About The Author
Peter Conti and
Peter Harris are known as the World’s #1 Greatest Commercial Real Estate Mentors. They partnered years ago by combining their existing Mentoring practices. They have both started from modest beginnings, Peter Conti was an auto mechanic, and Peter Harris was an introverted engineer. The portfolio of properties they have purchased nationwide with their Commercial Mentoring Program students continues to grow at an accelerated rate.
Peter Conti is the CEO of MentorFinancialGroup.com and lives on the Chesapeake Bay with his wife and kids in Annapolis, Maryland.
Peter Harris has purchased and put together commercial and residential real estate deals across the country for years. He has taught, mentored, and instructed many of the most successful investors across the nation. Harris and Donald Trump are coauthors of
Three Master Secrets of Real Estate Success. He also sits on the board of advisors on several private and national real estate investment and development companies.
Many years ago, Peter Harris received the gift of a great mentor in his career and in his every day life, who guided and encouraged him to always get out of his comfort zone and play a bigger game. Mentoring one-on-one or to hundreds at a time around the nation is Peter’s way of giving back and imparting the message of hope and faith in the dynamic and rewarding world of real estate. Even though Peter’s first career was a physicist, holding several U.S. patents on outer space simulation, the school of hard knocks was where he got his real education in the business world.
