Editorial Review: Product Description: How to Succeed in Commercial Real Estate is a comprehensive, practical book for those considering entering the field of commercial real estate, those just beginning in the business, as well as experienced brokers and sales managers who want to evaluate and strengthen their current strategies—especially those related to listings, negotiations, contracts, and sales. The author provides a straightforward overview of the business of selling commercial property, including coverage of the four main specialty areas –retail, office, industrial, and investment—as well as crossovers and emerging specialties. Rather than pumping a "get rich quick" approach to selling, the author shows brokers that they don’t have to sacrifice integrity and ethics to remain competitive and deal oriented. The book includes detailed coverage of • Choosing a company and a specialty that’s a good fit for you. • Sales strategies and sales points specific to commercial real estate, including practical suggestions for countering other brokers. • The importance of focusing on exclusive listings, how to find and get the best prospects, and the most effective strategies for marketing the property. • Standard parts and points of negotiation for contracts and forms, including earnest money agreements, leases, options, listings, counter offers, and fee schedules. • Rent and how it is calculated and quoted, including triple net, modified net, gross, and full service leases. • Technical knowledge including agency, law, appraisal, taxation, zoning, surveys, environmental investigations, investment analysis, risk comparison, exchanges, financing, and property management. •The pros and cons of going independent and how to decide if it’s the right move for you. Written in an engaging, straight-talk style, the author shares a wealth of other practical knowledge reaped from 30 years in the business. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - The book was okayThis book was well written and had some solid information, but I felt it lacked detail. The book spends a lot of time talking about salesmanship and very little time really explaining the details of either evaluating or negotiating commercial deals. Honestly, I really liked Loren Keim's book The Fundamentals of Listing and Selling Commercial Real Estateand John Peckham's A Master Guide to Income Property Brokerage : Boost Your Income By Selling Commercial and Income Properties , 4th Edition better. ...

Rating: - Great book for a primer on commercial real estateDon't be mislead by the introduction to the author at the start of the book. The author appears to have been a professional student in his younger days, who had no idea what he wanted to do in life. He has two liberal art undergraduate degrees from two different colleges with a major in philosophy, then he started to work in his dad's commercial real estate firm. I thought oh boy! Do I really need to waste my time on this book? The book is an excellent primer for those who might be interested ...

It seems there are very few good books on commercial real estate brokerage - and I would recommend this one. The book is a good broad brush of concepts...if you hunger for knowledge about commercial real estate, this is a good book. Rating: - Superb !!This book is a hands on approach on how to make it on the commercial real estate arena,anyone who thinks they can come and make the big money on the ultra competitive world of commercial real estate easily is dreaming.He give you the stepping stones on how to build your business from scratch and it comes from someone "who's been there" not someone trying to peddle you into a "magic" way to make the big money.I applied some of his techniques and they DO work if you are willing to put the time and energy.The stuff ...
