IREM’s Fair & Effective Lease Administration Guide
Simplify the process of accurate and efficient lease administration; it’s critical to every building’s tenant relations program. When leases are poorly administered, properties can be robbed of some of their cash flow and value and tenants can lose trust in the landlord and the property manager.
Lease Administration Simplified – A Real Estate Manager’s Guide to Fair and Effective Lease Administration, available from the Institute of Real Estate Management (IREMŪ). Authors Richard Muhlebach, CPMŪ, SCSM, and Alan Alexan provide lease administration basics that simplify the process for all commercial property types.

Land: What REALTORSŪ Need to Know
New REALTORSŪ Land Institute Program – Land: What REALTORSŪ Need to Know
Land transactions are complex, and require specialized knowledge – from survey methodology to mineral rights and a host of other issues. If you do land, you need to know the dirt. Article 11 of the NAR Code of Ethics explains that REALTORSŪ should not provide professional services concerning a type of property outside their field of competence — unless they either engage the assistance of a competent expert in that discipline, or fully disclose to their client that they do not possess particular expertise. Jumpstart your understanding of land, plan to attend this new program, Beyond Property Lines: What REALTORSŪ Need to Know about Land. It’s scheduled for Nov. 3, 2010 in conjunction with NAR’s Conference & Expo in New Orleans. Early bird registration is only $59. Call 1.800.44l.LAND (5263) for more information and to register.
