The objective was to provide a platform that allowed staff members and consultants to invest, as opposed to holding shares in the company, Mr Fonmanu said.
It also gave investors the confidence that consultants of Sunshine Development were confident with their product by walking-the-talk.
It offered surety that such consultants would see the development through to completion, Mr Fonmanu said.
“It is also an affordable method of investing where other staff members and consultants share the initial investment outlay, and with such high commission remuneration it motivates these investors to earn and allow them to settle their lots, before being issued with the titles,” he said.
According to Sunshine Development chairman, Junhui Fu: “I came to Fiji, fell in love with the country, and its beautiful people and decided to invest. That includes investing in the people of Fiji.”
He said former flight attendants with the real estate company were a bonus to the workforce.
“They are our gain,” Mr Fu said. “I am very happy and proud of Leanne’s dynamic consultancy work, and will continue to support her and former airline crew who join our workforce.”
