MARTY LYNCH, Education Director, Founder
Marty loves to connect to the “being” behind the human. She is curious about what makes people tick and passionate about helping them reach their goals, tap into their full potential, and transform their lives. Marty believes inspired and happy people create meaningful moments and the biggest impact. Her diverse experience in psychology, coaching and training, advertising and marketing, hospitality, and real estate give her a balance between her business mind and people-centered heart.
Over the years, Marty has held several leadership roles. As the Director of Program Development for a wellness resort, Marty designed workshops, as well as, contracted renowned authors, speakers and thought leaders to create an educational and transformative experience centered around personal and professional growth. She said what she and her team created in this environment was life changing for both the student and the teacher. Beyond the education in the meeting room, the resort provided several supportive experiences that addressed the whole person on the mental, emotional, physical and spiritual levels. Some of these included yoga, acupuncture, wellness coaching, Watsu (water therapy), and her favorite, flying trapeze, which allowed people to get out of their heads and into their bodies in an instant! In this space, Marty believes that is where the “ah ha” moments happen.
As Sales Manager for The Rachel Kendall Real Estate Team, Marty is hands on with coaching, training and recruiting. She understands the value of putting clients first and building a team with the same focus. Marty loves being a part of this dynamic, high-energy, growth minded, and culture driven team.
Marty enjoys checking out the local Triangle hot spots, as well as, exploring new countries and cultures. She believes life is an adventure, and takes full advantage of every opportunity. Marty and her husband, Jeff, have 3 kids, and they enjoy North Carolina beaches, lakes and the mountains.

She spent a decade side-by-side with her clients as she assisted in making their day-to-day living space both aesthetically pleasing and functional while educating them to make the best decision for their family. She became accustomed to working with a lot of moving parts in a high-paced industry where thinking on your feet and behind the scenes work is vital in maintaining the client experience.

Now as a Real Estate Agent and owner of The Rachel Kendall Team, Mahala is able to develop agents to achieve their fullest potential in sales by delivering innovative and practical training and coaching.
Seeing how being an instructor and trainer in different modalities like Pilates, real estate sales, hospitality, customer service could also foster like-minded community, an idea developed to bring Real Estate Professionals a place to receive education, collaboration, and professional opportunity beyond just passing a test. Mahala is excited to be joining her AIM Partners by providing the real estate community with a fresh approach to real estate education in North Carolina.

SCOTT WITTIG, Instructor - Continued Education
Scott has served in many roles throughout his career to include processing, originating, and leading. He prides himself on the fact that over 50% of his business each year comes from previous clients whose trust he has earned and who are kind enough to go back to him again and again. The other 50% comes from his realtor partners who, as he likes to say, are more like friends who just happen to do real estate.
Scott’s class, “Mortgage Knowledge is Power” is approved by the North Carolina Real Estate Commission. This four-hour class is designed to educate Realtors on the mortgage process, different loan types, the roles of various parties involved, and to dispel myths that exist about mortgages in general.
Married with two children, two dogs and a cat, Scott lives in Apex. As a family, they founded a non-profit called “The Red Balloon Project” to help the worries of seriously-ill children float away for a day. Scott is the author of three inspirational books, Holy It!, The Second Day and Mess to Message and he is working on his fourth book which is due in 2022. He also enjoys playing soccer in the Apex adult league.
