Testimonials:
I enjoyed the class and interpretation of the Lease Standard. Reed’s agenda had a great flow and the examples he provided were helpful.

The class was a very organized, detailed overview of the leasing standard with reference to examples on the FRD. Reed was very knowledgeable and the class was interactive.
