Attention: Any one entering the Commercial Real Estate business must have this Book. It's the best book I have read on Commercial real estate concerning leases and in general.

Very enlighting for the novice or experienced broker. Excellent choice for tenants who are considering relocating to another office or want to renegotiate with their present landlord. Very informative to all who are in any profession.

Recently, I read through several of the leading books on the subject of Commercial Property Leases, a subject that was a complete mystery for me. This book was the BEST, with clear explanations, strategies, and usable checklists. Mr. McComb has a way of explaining the subject that helps to clear the questions from your mind.

This concise and easy to read guide for leasing commercial space is a must read for any business owner or executive who is interested in understanding the basics of a commercial lease. Any search for new space and the lease negotiation process will go much smoother. Being educated in these matters will save some serious money and time. Any industrial, retail or office space user will benefit.

All nuts and bolts...no puffery...should be required reading for all business students. Highly recommended! A very good investment!

Please ignore the one star review from Mr. Hansson, as he is obviously and shamelessly promoting his own brokerage business by slamming the legitmate work of others. He has never actually purchased a copy of the book. The book has been reprinted several times and there have been thousands of copy sold. It is just right for those seeking a fast overview of the leasing process to manage a trainsaction brokered or not.

You can find most of this information on the web if you look for it and as the book mentions it too you will need an attorney to draw up the lease and they can help give you all this information too.
However this book puts most of the information into one place and gives you a starting point and the basic information you need to know. As that it was worth reading it. Its an easy read and can be done in one sitting. Would also be a good reference for later. I'd say if you can buy it used for under $10 its a good value, this will be the least expensive part of your leasing process.

This book is too general to serve any real user of office space. You would be better off educating yourself on the market and how to negotiate effectively through free web sites such as Pikenet, and Starboardnet.com.
