Good Resources for Beginner Leasing Agent?
Hey everyone, 

I work for a commercial real estate development company and have been pursuing becoming a commercial leasing agent for the past few years. I was able to get my license a few months ago and I'm hopeful that I will start leasing in the next 6 months all of which will be retail.

I've have limited exposure to leasing and have never worked in residential real estate transactions either. Basically I'm going into it fairly blind. 

I know there are a lot of experienced professionals hanging around here and I'm hoping to get some advice or recommendations for books or other materials I can dig into before I dive into the world of leasing. 

Cheers!
