Retail/Shopping center leasing noob. Any help?
If im in the wrong place just ignore me! So long story short I work for a company that handles 1200+ grocery stores, and thousands of tenants. I am interested in staying there long time, but have no education, and no work experience except being a file clerk / lease assistant writing renewals, and other papers. Does anyone have any recommendations for learning, or courses? I am wanting to focus on leasing to tenants.

That will give you some tangible value and allow you to collect commissions.  You'll also learn a lot along the way.  There is a lot of useless info on those exams but you'll definitely pick up some important knowledge, especially because you don't have formal real estate education.", "replies": [], "depth": 1}, {"id": "ehbgqj8", "text": "Check in with your local NAIOP or ULI chapter.

Ultimately I am trying to make myself more desirable in order to become a leasing assistant, and just get any outside credentials that will help me. I've been doing some research this morning about getting a RE license, and I think I might do that. I think for the cost its worth it to learn the terminology, and what the processes are, even if it isn't focused on the commercial side.
