About Us
Our Origin Story
Walton Maslow was born out of disbelief...
After having both worked in the corporate world, as CEOs of our own companies and investors, we surveyed the deal sourcing industry and couldn’t quite believe some of the antics we witnessed:
Eventually, we figured that if this industry was going to change, we’d have to join forces and do it ourselves...
A New Philosophy
When we founded the company, we asked ourselves:
"What would a firm that didn't just care about making as much money as possible for the sourcer, but instead had a focus on building a long-term relationship with a client by focussing on their best interests, look like?"
We boiled it down to the three core values we operate by today (click to see more), namely:
1) White-glove Service
2) Transparency
3) Partnership
Why "Walton Maslow"?
We wanted to pick a name which represented those values, and it was inspired by quotes from two chaps we find inspiring.
“There is only one boss. The customer. And he can fire everybody in the company from the chairman on down, simply by spending his money somewhere else.”
- Sam Walton, Founder of Walmart
That quote from Sam Walton is responsible for the first half. We wanted to constantly remind ourselves that you - the customer - are our boss!
The second half of our name comes from psychologist Abraham Maslow, who famously created Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. He said that the very top level (self-actualisation) is a desire to “become everything one is capable of becoming.”
“What a man can be, he must be. This we call self-actualisation…. It refers to man’s desire... to become everything one is capable of becoming.”
- Abraham Maslow
The freedom, life options and security property brings, is your route to becoming everything you (and your family) are capable of becoming. That, to us, is sacred.
Meet the Founders
You’ve read how the company came to be, what our values are and how we do business, so it’d be rude not to introduce ourselves, too.
Our names are Andrés and Jonathan and we’re the Managing Directors behind Walton Maslow.

Jonathan Ekwonna
Outside of being full-time property investors ourselves, between us, we've:
- Toured with music legend Stevie Wonder
- Built a digital marketing agency with employees on three continents, while learning at the feet of mentor Scott “The $150 million Man” Rewick
- Raised over £5 million in financing for a luxury Swiss watch brand, in conjunction with Audemars Piguet
- Worked as a U.S. Equities broker for J.P.Morgan, with top asset managers, mutual funds and hedge funds as clients
- Built a successful executive recruitment agency and business consultancy
Our… eclectic… backgrounds have provided us with a unique set of skills, network of connections and outlook on how business should be done, and it’s this that we believe gives us our edge over the competition.
