Who's behind the PCE training and education resources?

Playa Capistrano Enterprises' partners, Ed Alegre and Mike Miller, designed, developed and wrote the Commercial Real Estate Leasing Tool Kit, followed by the Sales Guide. These products are designed to provide systematic and focused instruction and implementation tools for the the fast moving, highly demanding and rewarding commercial real estate industry.

The beginnings of PCE Guides

Ed Alegre and Mike Miller started the PCE Tool Kit project out of sheer frustration when trying to find quality materials to train associates new to the real estate leasing business. As it became obvious that no such resources existed, they were encouraged by many people to create something new and truly useful. PCE's Commercial Real Estate Leasing Tool Kit, followed by the Commercial Real Estate Sales Guide are the result of years of experience and industry insights.
