Dear International Living Reader,
Ronan McMahon told his real estate developers in Latin America to put their money where their mouths are...and pay for you to visit their projects.
Ronan calls them “chill weekends,” and he insists that there will be no pressure or hard sell. Here’s the idea: If a developer has a good enough project, it should sell itself to you while you’re there for a weekend of relaxation and fun. And the developer should be willing to foot the bill for you to try it out.
His developer partners jumped at the chance, of course...and they’re chomping at the bit to have you lounge on one of their beach chairs for a weekend. Find out who they are and how you can arrange a “chill weekend” of your own below.
