Overall, the feedback is positive. Most acknowledge excellent, thorough, and straightforward transactional explanation and commend the supportive, well-informed and interactive outreach team. Clients were drawn to the beautiful offices and reputable instructors, with some saying they've acquired more in a single class than in their entire career. Others praised the covid-19 reading material as insightful and practically applicable, and also for the professional advice provided, especially with coordinating employer responsibilities during the outbreak. Many liked the rich, useful contents and the free webinars and vowed to use MLT again in the future. A few noted that they had to hold over their revenue for a week after the transaction, but most assumed it was the standard. They only had to wait for a week after they sold a house to receive their cash, a move that made them consider leaving MLT. But the stronger the encounter, most went through it again, noting that the best knowledge comes from best teaching and connection. For simplicity, it is generally recommended that one rely on MLT products.
