 A great primer for someone about to take the plunge April 26, 2005
15 out of 16 found this review helpful
For someone looking to enter the brokerage side of the business I found this book to be a great primer. The book is not meant to be an in depth educational tool so the person who gave it such a negative review probably was expecting something completely different. If your new to commercial brokerage or looking to get into it, this book will help you with some key issues and highlight some important areas about the business that you may not have known. For instance, the difference in working for a regional or a national and selecting your firm to work for, your area of specialty, some key terms and vocab you need to know and common mistakes made by newbies that you can look out for and avoid. If you have been in the business for a couple of years, then this book probably won't help you too much but if you're about to start interviewing with firms I highly reccommend reviewing this book beforehand to get you thinking on the right track and asking the right questions.

This is a high school education level book. If you know anything about the real estate business, do not purchase this book. You will be greatly disappointed. The book is very general, gives no specifics or details about anything, and i marvel that there was actually a publisher willing to print this book. I guess i should write a commercial real estate book because it seems they are in short order. I would instead purchase a book by Jack Cummings and then find a good commercial company to work for.
Excellent resource for beginners February 18, 2005

This is probably the most comprehensive yet easy-to-read book I've found on beginning a career in commercial real estate brokerage. It's mainly focused on brokerage as a career, which is great since there aren't very many books on the commercial sector. If you're thinking about becoming a commercial broker or you just want to learn more about the industry, this is an excellent overview. Highly recommended.

How To Succeed In Commercial Real Estate is a plain-terms guide to buying commercial property, drawn from the author's experience in 30 years of the business. Chapters cover points specific to commercial real estate, including suggestions for countering other brokers; the importance of exclusive listings; how rent is calculated and quoted; technical knowledge with regard to law, appraisal, taxation, zoning, surveys, and environmental investigations, among other topics; the pros and cons of going independent; and much more. A no-nonsense guide accessible to readers of all familiarity levels with the world of real estate, and highly recommended reading for anyone about to take the plunge and invest thousands or even millions of dollars into commercial property.
