The Commercial Real Estate Job Search Guide

Want to break into commercial real estate? When I first started looking for jobs in commercial real estate, there wasn't a playbook that existed to teach me the things I needed to do to break into industry and land the types of jobs I was looking for (at the types of firms I wanted to work for). I found myself aimless as a result, asking questions like:

• Which skills do I need to have to be competitive for jobs?

• How do I build my network?

• Where should I be looking for job opportunities?

• Once I actually land an offer, what type of money should I expect to be making?

If you're asking yourself these questions right now, and you want a step-by-step guide for how to go about this process and ultimately land your dream job in commercial real estate, this course is the resource you've been looking for.

The commercial real estate industry is more competitive than ever, and even if your technical skills and experience measure up, actually showcasing this in your application materials and building the relationships you'll need to get your foot in the door are completely different animals. If you want to stand out from the crowd of applicants, you need to do things differently, and this course will provide a framework for how to do this and pitfalls to avoid.

According to CEL & Associates, the 2022 median total compensation for an acquisitions associate in retail, office/industrial, and multifamily was This course will teach you "soft" skills you'll need to make a job in the industry a reality, and land your first (or next) role in commercial real estate.

If you're ready to break into the industry but still on the fence about the course, here's what some of our students have had to say about the curriculum:

"Really good insight into the whole CRE job process, from start to finish. I like how comprehensive this course was, from learning how to adequately use LinkedIn, to negotiate your offer, and what to do next. I've taken a number of courses from Justin, and every time there is something new to learn, even for somebody that's already in the RE arena."

"Another high quality course from Justin. [...] Wish I knew about this a couple years ago. Very actionable networking and resume advice. Super helpful checklists and templates to systematize efforts. Lots of smart insights into how CRE people think and will view certain wording when sending networking emails/messages."

"I truly enjoyed Justin's course of How to Land a Job in Private Equity Real Estate, and I am looking forward to starting a couple of his other course in the near future. I found this course to be very beneficial for someone just starting out or for a career switcher, like myself, because it provides a clear path of how to start and the skills needed to break in."

"Justin is very talented when it comes down to providing clarity and simplifying things. I've taken previous courses with him and I've always left with more clarity and confidence to apply what I've learned."

Working in commercial real estate is one of the best ways to get paid to learn, make great money in the process, and even invest in deals you wouldn't otherwise have had access to along the way. If that sounds like something you're interested in, I'm excited to have you in the course.
