Chicago Real Estate/ Real Estate PE Scene

This forum has been helpful on rare occasion, so figured I would ask on the off-chance someone on this forum could provide some color:

As the title suggests, curious about the landscape in general and who the major real estate PE players are in Chicago. Both on the debt side and equity side.

Private Equity Short Resume Review / Recap

“Very good planning prior to the meeting and effective notes that allowed the session to go quickly and effectively. We covered a lot of topics on the resume and I recieved a good amount of notes that I can correct my resume in order to make it more specific for the PE companies I will work with. Was very helpful in the way of bringing out niche skills I have in order to maximise my chances at differentiating myself from more typical IB candidates. Also provided good insights on the MBA process, what is valuable and the WHY side of P.E. which I will go into depth with in my WHY statements that I am going to do. ”

Private Equity Mock Interview

“Andre was amazing to work with. He brought real energy and clarity to every conversation, explained complex ideas simply, and always made time to help. His attention to detail and calm under pressure lifted the whole team, and his feedback was honest, specific and genuinely useful. Beyond the work, he was approachable, generous with his knowledge and made everyone around him better. Every session with him felt insightful and inspiring. I'd love to work with Andre again and would recommend him without hesitation. ”

Est ut nesciunt doloribus nihil. Voluptate officia aut fugiat sunt corrupti dicta. Quas facere earum eaque excepturi alias non soluta. Sit facere cum minus et.

Ipsam dolorem autem tempora et enim et. Temporibus consequatur quidem qui cupiditate explicabo similique.
