Land Rush 

By Mark Stevens 

Land Rush peers into the secretive world of the nation's most powerful and well-connected real estate brokers and developers, both commercial and residential. Of all the real estate transactions made yearly, the lion's share of the profits are concentrated in a relative handful of deals in the bi-coastal vest pockets of affluence. Whether you just want to look over their shoulders at the origins of grandiose deals, at their personal and business lives, or whether you aspire, as a broker or developer, to share in real estate's wealth, you'll find interest and profitability in these pages.
