With my academic background as a business major, and with my experience as a real estate investor assistant, I have developed a set of skills that include innovative thinking, effective communication, problem-solving abilities, teamwork, and proficiency in technology. These skills have been honed through courses in Management, Financial Accounting, Operations, and Marketing. I am eager to apply them to any future opportunities that may arise within the real estate industry. My objective is to begin my career as an assistant to a commercial or residential real estate investor. I believe this role will provide me with a valuable opportunity to learn from a mentor, and gain knowledge on how to make informed investment decisions, effectively resolve problems for clients, and conduct thorough analyses of potential deals that will benefit both the business and clients.
In pursuit of securing a job in the real estate industry, I have been consistently expanding my knowledge through self research and active engagement with investors whom I’ve worked with. I’ve conducted informational interviews to understand what the industry looks like and the everyday movements of the job. By continuously reaching out to local investors, wholesalers and agents, I have grown my network vastly. I plan to purchase an investment property as soon as possible in order to get my foot in the door to build wealth for myself and my family. I am determined to create a vast portfolio of investment properties along my career journey with the ultimate goal of eventually becoming a successful business owner. Continuing to expand my network will play a significant role in growing my clientele and providing valuable services to people across the nation. The more experience I can add upon the knowledge I already have, the more qualified I will be to become my own boss with endless aspirations.
I will be applying to work at several different real estate firms such as Brown Harris Stevens in NYC, and others including those that deal with commercial real estate as well as residential real estate. While working with a reputable firm, I aim to collaborate with local real estate investors to broaden my experience and gain insights into the intricacies of real estate, encompassing aspects such as construction and financial management.
In the summer of 2021 I had the privilege of getting a hands on mentorship with a very successful investor. My mentorship with Geoff Nowland, a real estate investor based in Phoenix, AZ, has solidified my passion for pursuing a career in real estate. Through his teachings, I have been exposed to the possibilities of investing and improving not just my own life but also the lives of others. My experiences have taught me how to efficiently manage numbers and effectively communicate with individuals to ensure tasks are completed with precision and efficiency.
My Business Operations course, along with the investor connections that I’ve established, have equipped me with proficient knowledge in using Microsoft Excel to analyze and differentiate between good and poor real estate deals. I take great pleasure in being actively involved in different projects and ensuring that all parties involved are content with the outcome. Dealing with people is an area where I excel, as it allows me to gain an understanding not only of how others’ minds work, but also how I respond to different situations as well. I am enthusiastic about satisfying any task given to me as I value the experience and exposure that the industry has to offer.
