Review of Beyond the Building
The introduction of "Beyond the Building" immediately grabbed my attention. The author's statement about working hard despite having real estate in his blood resonated deeply. Right then, I knew this book was for me. By the time I finished reading, I could confidently say there wasn't a single aspect I disliked. Rob Finlay's core message in "Beyond the Building" centers on the importance of foresight. He highlights how many real estate businesses blindly apply established methods without questioning their relevance in today's market.
True to form, Rob Finlay surpasses expectations. With a deep understanding of the real estate industry, he leaves no stone unturned. He exposes the ineffectiveness of outdated strategies and emphasizes the need to embrace innovation for survival in the current competitive market. The inclusion of real-life examples throughout the book is another strength. For instance, his discussion of Max Bresner, COO of BLDG Management and BMC Investments, perfectly illustrates the advantages of a smaller company structure.
My favorite section of the book is titled "The Name of the Game is Differentiation." Here, Rob dives deep into the concept of observing other businesses and strategically applying those insights to differentiate your own company. But his guidance doesn't stop there. He also provides valuable best practices specifically tailored for commercial real estate owners. This book practically helps you plan your business. Rob doesn't just identify problems like outdated methods, lack of foresight, and resistance to change. He also proposes solutions to tackle these challenges and offers invaluable advice applicable not just to real estate but to any business.
"Beyond the Building" is meticulously edited and free of grammatical errors. It provides a clear roadmap for building a future-proof real estate firm, packed with practical strategies and real-world examples. For these reasons, I wholeheartedly award it 5 out of 5 stars. If you're in the commercial real estate business and ready to embrace radical business growth, this book is a must-read.
