What are the best REPE shops in SF/West coast. Is that even a thing, or are all the best REPE firms in NY or northeast?
Furthermore, i’m gonna work in IB at NY, am I screwed regarding positions on the west coast after being an analyst?

MSREI has an SF office
Bump. Looking for SF/Bay Area-based large REPE shops. Know of the following so far but would appreciate others: Starwood, Stepstone, Invesco, Rockpoint, Rockwood, GIC
TPG, Carlyle, KKR, Westbrook, SpearStreet, PGIM, Sixth Street, Divco
PCCP is a quality firm that runs an originations office out there
Pretty much any big name repe fund has a west coast office. Plus there’s a shit load more high quality funds that are based there. Did u even try googling this before asking? dumb and low effort question. Yes you can move there. will it be easy? Maybe, maybe not, depends on ur reasoning and story for why. Do I know people that have done this move? Yes, loads of them.
Word of advice just look at the pere 100 list and go through each website for locations
DivcoWest, and Stockbridge are both solid.
SF sucks dude ive been here for a year and a half. its so low energy and the women are dogs
Lmao
This city is a blast, the only people complaining about chicks in SF live in the mission or other shitty parts of the city. If you wanna have fun you have to live somewhere cool in the northern most part of the city (Marina, Northbeach, Cow hollow). Lots of chickas, great opportunities in RE and cool people.
SF has been a great city for a CRE career. Regional offices and some headquarters for big firms. The Financial Capital of the West Coast. Two great universities - Cal and Stanford - for undergrad or grad school. A MSA where you could retire in and have your kids eventual work in. City is coming back alive with the vaccines rolling out. Good public transportation.
Some of the gripes about the dating scene are legitimate. Starter home prices are too high.
The thing about SF that people don't talk about it has literally no diversity in the type of people that live here. You're either an Asian/soyboy in tech or a white dude in finance. And I'd say the average intellectual quality of those people working in finance is a SD or 2 below that in NYC. I went to a NEPSAC private high school and a top 10 ugrad with plenty of diverse smart people and SF is like a different world in that respect. Might just be a numbers thing in terms of employment # in SF vs. in NYC.
I once went to a party in the Marina with 100+ people and I was literally the only not white person there (Indian). I didn't feel unwelcome at all, but it was fucking weird and I didn't like it. So something to consider for all us non-white finance dudes.
Cmon dude, there is real estate outside of the northeast and someone has to pay for it. There are also some really good shops in Texas, the South has offices and apartments as well.
As to getting a job in REPE after coming from IB in NY, you're not necessarily going to be disadvantaged due to location. Most REPE shops cover whole swaths of the country and aren't as geographically limited as something like development. But, as with a lot of industries, network is key, so it might be harder to network with west coast people stationed in NY. Best bet would be find places that have stuff in NY and SF, networking with NY people and see if they know west coast people. Alumni networks are great for this, find people who went to school at Haas, GSB, Anderson, etc. and are working in NY, easy to meet with them 1 on 1, and they probably have a west coast network.
TMG Partners is the top REPE shop in the Bay. Local sharpshooters with an impressive legacy. I work at an MF and we frequently partner with them on the debt side.
