To whom it may concern;

Tannia and I met Martin Siegen after our San Jose, Puerto Los Cabos home construction was underway and stalled in 2008. He and his team have worked tirelessly on our project until recent completion.

Martin's attention to detail and meticulous preparation and planning is only matched by his fastidious compulsion to perfection. He is a master in his own business and work, probably unmatched in excellence anywhere in North America.

He, his colleague and partner Juan Corral are able to interpret the desires of the owners and complete the work in their perfected neat manner and style. They have very intuitive ideas and concepts that are always practical and frequently save time and money. Their workers are excellent and have been with them for years and are very hardworking, loyal and honest.

It has been a pleasure to work with MarCor Masters and experience their enthusiasm, integrity and desire to satisfy us as somewhat "particular" home owners. If we ever build again we will do it with this team.

In appreciation,

Hi Martin, to say we were shocked when we arrived and saw the house is an understatement. It’s magnificent! Judging by the pictures you were sending weekly we knew it would be nice but until you see it for real you can’t imagine how wonderful it really is. Everything is perfect. We all own other properties but never have any of us been able to just walk in to a home completely furnished, decorated, and ready to live in. I want to thank you and your team (and Cindy) for handling every detail that makes this CASA the best we could ever dream of. The workmanship, design and landscaping really enhance the beautiful setting of the Sea, Marina and nearby community. If you ever need a recommendation for another future home owner please call me anytime. I will be your best salesperson. Thanks from the partners and myself for a job well done.

P.S. It’s going to be almost impossible to sell this place now that we all had a chance to experience the beauty of this place. Looks like we will be neighbors for quite some time.

To anyone considering building in Cabo, Martin Siegen kindly agreed to pick up our troubled project before the obra negra was fully completed. We feel very fortunate and thank God that we met Martin at the right time. Martin is a very talented project coordinator gifted with the ability of clear vision for the full potential of a project. From the onset he assisted us in making small but significant changes and choices that have made a brilliant difference.

When decisions had to be made, he gave us his input but it was always our decision. After a while I learned to fully trust his advice as he was right 99% of time due to his vast life time experience in the field. Throughout the project Martin was our advocate, advising us of ways we could do something in a less expensive way and watching our budget. He spent many hours finding the best deals possible for us. In many cases we got higher quality materials at a fraction of the originally cost. Martin is a perfectionist by nature and the attention to detail is obvious throughout the house. We trusted Martin whole heartedly not only with our project but with our check book as we gave him signing rights on our Mexican bank accounts. Bills and invoices were presented weekly on time.

When it came time to furnish and decorate the house, he gave us access to prices that are unheard of in the furniture market. He provided us the opportunity to choose from every level of quality, style and pricing. We did all this through the internet, which could have been a very scary proposition, but having learned to trust Martin’s experience and advice we moved forward. Here again, he was invaluable, patiently answering my myriad of e-mails, allowing us to make our own choices, but guiding us along the way to make sure we did not make costly mistakes.

It is evident that Martin put his heart and soul into our house as it is beyond our family’s expectations. If we ever do this again, we would not hesitate to let Martin guide our project. It would be a mistake to choose anyone else. As a bonus we have had the pleasure to get to know Martin and Cindy on a personal level. They have been most gracious and hospitable during our trips to Cabo and continue to assist us in many ways that are not part of their job description.

My wife and I have undertaken several home construction projects in our lifetimes including two most recently in Cabo in which we employed two different contractors. The first project, a simple renovation that should have been straightforward quite easily represents the most frustrating experience we have ever had. If we could turn back the clock and not proceed with the project we would do so without hesitation. Martin was hired for the second project, a complete turn key construction in Puertos Los Cabos. The difference in the manner in which these projects were completed was astounding. As promised, Martin delivered a property unsurpassed in quality and detail and did so within budget and on schedule. Through his detailed quotes, progress reports and impeccable communication Martin demonstrated time and time again he is an exception when it comes to building in Cabo. If we ever part with the masterpiece that Martin has provided the easiest choice we would have is the builder of our next home. We have seen the worst and now that we have experienced the best, there is simply no alternative.

We are pleased to offer our highest recommendation for Juan Corral and his crew at Corral Custom Builders. Juan first helped us bring our vision to life on paper, then built a beautiful home that went beyond our expectations in the finished details. Building in a foreign country was a bit daunting at first, but Juan eased our minds with his obvious expertise and complete professionalism. He was communicative, regularly kept us up-to-date on progress with photos, and always made us feel comfortable with the project. His crew and staff are first rate, and he is well connected to local subcontractors and suppliers in the area.

Juan is extremely creative, willing to collaborate on ideas, and was totally committed to building a high quality home for us. We are ecstatic with the outcome, and feel blessed to have had the opportunity to work with Juan, get to know his family, and to count him as one of our special friends.

Generally speaking, builders are a dime a dozen; (no offense) particularly when markets are hot. They just spring up.

Customer service, integrity, craftmanship, creativity, leadership...these are the qualities that customers looks for when they are considering a builder (and they're rare).

All I can say is that I've known Martin for 25 years+. I have been in many, many of his homes; and they have all been spectacular. Knowing Martin for this many years; I have seen both his progression as a BUILDER and the evolution and maturity of his extraordinary DESIGN talent over time. That being said, at the end of the day, you're still wondering if you will have an excellent product and feel as if you got good value for your money — YES! & YES! Moreover, you will likely make a SIGNIFICANT amount of equity INSTANTLY because he has a gift of knowing how to INVEST a customers money so they generate a RETURN. If that interests you, I suggest you follow his lead more often than not throughout the entire process. Could you really ask for anything more?

So Is Martin a good builder? MORE than that. He's an EXCEPTIONAL builder. If you are his neighbor, you are very fortunate. I mean VERY fortunate. You won't find a builder like him in Cabo, period. Go for it. I certainly plan to....just need to sell a few more cakes...

Cheers!

I met Martin about 4 years ago on one of my trips to Cabo thru his wife and we became friends. Whenever I came down he would always take me golfing, as well as, show me the building activity in Cabo. We toured many subdivisions looking at the different homes and quality of construction. None of the homes could compare to the quality and workmanship that went into his homes. He kept on telling me to build in Cabo as the real estate market was on fire. Being from Canada at that time, our dollar was worth about 64 cents US. Well now that our dollar has strengthened, we took the plunge and bought the lot and the easiest decision was have Martin build our home. We communicate all the time and if the first time I see our home is when its complete, I know we are going to love it.
