Product Description
Praise for After The Fall "Steve Bergsman provides his readers with one of the most comprehensive, yet concise overviews of real estate and all its property types."—Christopher Macke, Vice President, GE Real Estate "This is an extraordinary work of detailed research and compelling writing. I've never seen the subject presented in such a cogent and skillful manner."—Phil Hall, editor, Secondary Marketing Executive "The way out of the financial crash of 2007/2008 will come through skilled operations, astute investing, and the ability of real estate practitioners to give up their mental memory of the future! The heated success of ten-year, unprecedented growth in the real estate industry has somehow atrophied the industry's application of knowledge. What we need is a fresh look at opportunities and strategies for real estate investing. We are lucky that Bergsman's book has fit the bill—just in time."—Jack M. Cohen, CEO, Cohen Financial "Insightful and informative; connects all the dots, providing the basis and foundation for making strategic decisions about real estate."—Stephen Blank, Senior Fellow, Finance, The Urban Land Institute

 Worthless March 29, 2010

This is the most dissappointing book I have ever read. Instead of "Opportunities and Strategies for Real Estate Investing in the Coming Decade" as the book advertises, this is just an extremely boring, drawn out, painfully trivial, detailed discussion of recent real estate markets. It's a history of what has happened in the last few years in real estate, not a discussion of how you can take advantage of the current situation to invest now. After reading the book you end up with a splitting headache, a feeling of vastly wasted time, and no clue how to invest in the current real estate market.
 Mr. Bergsman's Books March 16, 2010

I would like to highly recommend all of Mr. Bergsman's books, including "After the Fall." I have read them all and have learned something valuable in each and every one of them. As someone who works in the commercial real estate business, I enjoy these books for their educational and entertainment value. The first-hand accounts really add to the credibility of the topics tackled. As real estate continues to evolve and grow into an asset class as ingrained as stocks and bonds, we need more authors like Mr. Bergsman to explain the intricacies of the business to both those inside and outside of it.
"After the Fall" is a great source for ideas about positioning yourself or your company to take advantage of the current environment in commercial and residential real estate. While headlines continue to account some of the pain that has occurred in real estate, it is always important to see the other side of that coin...and that is Mr. Bergsman's specialty...
Another Amazing Book on the Commercial RE Market March 6, 2010

Steve does it again. Another fantastic book about the current and prospective future of the commercial real estate market. Steve is one of the best writers in the country on commercial real estate. His knowledge and connections in this industry are spectacular. This book and Steve's other books are all must reads. Being a real estate developer and owner of a commercial brokerage firm I make sure that all my employees read Steve's books.
Insightful, informative, enlightening! October 28, 2009

I've read a few of Steve Bergsman's books and they have all taught me a few things about the real estate business. However, After The Fall does something different. It explains how we got into this property market mess and when each sector of the real estate industry will finally escape. Maybe the folks bailing out the banks should read this book?
Book Review: After the fall. October 27, 2009

well defined chapters, i mean each chapter has a "Where we ARE" section i.e. how the sector in the study looks as of today, "where we WERE" - how did the sector market in question get here, and "where are we headed" - what the future holds for the current topic i am on, and Last but not least, each chapter ends with Bonus Box where author shares his learnings and experiences during his research of the current topic.
The book is divided into -
Commercial Real Estate Market that includes a chapter for each sectors like Office, Industrial, Retail and Multifamily.
Residential Real Estate Market includes Single-family and condominium,
Leisure Real Estate - second homes, vacation properties
With additional chapters on Commercial and Residential Real Estate extending the study of these markets.
I don't think i have read any book that even showed me these sectors before i read this one.There was a chapter at the end with a title "The Market for second homes" that explained why baby boomers are financially better than their parents' generation. The explanation was the first of its kind again, that i enjoyed absorbing, that i hadn't found anywhere in other books.
