Interested in real estate?
As an architect, my primary reason for coming to Fisher was to gain the skills I'll need to run my own architecture firm and to learn/venture out into the world of real estate development. (I'll explain my career path to Fisher in another post!). Last Friday, the Real Estate Boot Camp provided the perfect opportunity for me to learn more about the industry and hear from professionals. Here are some of the highlights from the day:
- Informative real estate discussion by Tim Gallagher who is a Managing Director at Goldman Sachs. Tim provided insight into the Commercial Real Estate Debt Market, something that I knew very little about before his presentation.
- Discussion about careers in real estate led by the Fisher Real Estate Society Board
- Panel Discussion including professionals from banking, development, corporate real estate, and environmental law
- Information about class listings and learning opportunities through the Center for Real Estate
It was a great chance for me to ask questions and hear advice on entering the market in a down economy. Thanks to Career Management for putting together such a great opportunity!
