Real Estate
The real estate industry offers tremendous career opportunities for business school students. This industry impacts our lives in so many ways from where we shop, work, live, play, and study. In the United States alone, the estimated value of real estate is approximately $35 trillion; clearly diverse career paths in real estate abound!
Career paths in real estate include brokerage, investment sales, leasing, tenant representation, residential and commercial sales, property management, tenant coordination, property acquisition (from the debt or equity side), market research, corporate real estate, property underwriting, property valuation, asset and portfolio management, banking or life insurance companies, which both lend and own real property.
The Feld Center’s Industry Relations Management (lRM) team is focused on building and managing industry/employer partnerships to expand real estate career opportunities for Questrom students. The team also works to bring relevant industry information to all students including the consolidated resources on this page.
A career in real estate blends financial acumen, negotiation skills, and market analysis, unlocking a rewarding path to have a tangible impact on people’s lives and the environment in which we all live, work and play.
