Did you already get the job? If you did than I wouldn’t really waste your time. If you haven’t gotten the job also don’t waste your time and instead use the time to network. Eastdil uses templates and will teach you them in training. If you don’t know the basics than do break into cre and Wall Street Prep if you can find them cheap just to get ahead of basic excel skills
I remember when I used to think Eastdil was the end all be all. Then I found out Eastdil is just a bunch of brokers who call themselves investment bankers in a giant circle jerk.
Found the Cresa flex office tenant rep guy
or the guy/gal that went to actual IB/M&A
Bingo.
Eastdil has actual IB/M&A. Check out the league tables. Their investment banking group came from the former Wachovia REIB team that was acquired by Wells Fargo in the GFC and then housed under the Eastdil brand. Eastdil’s management bought the business back from Wells and then sold it a couple of times since then. Most of the investment banking team stayed with Eastdil, where they continue to have a top REIB group. They are also arguably the best institutional real estate broker, with the highest comp, best exit opps, and most interesting/challenging work. Brokerage is the bulk of their business, but I believe true investment banking contributes about a third of their fees. If you know, you know. If you don’t, well, you don’t…
Eastdil actually has their nuts on your chin…
For most ES’ers, even the very few who pass Series exams AND execute corporate M&A, calling themself an investment banker is something like when a person has a heart attack on a plane and someone shouts for help from a doctor… but only a dentist or PhD raise their hand (or at the very least a DO from one of those Caribbean med schools). Like yeah, you’re technically correct but no major REIT is putting you on the Fairness Opinion - corporate execs should only seek your help if they’re desperate / the BBs are conflicted out
Totally inaccurate but believe what you want. The brokers are brokers and don’t call themselves investment bankers. The IB team is legit IB and work with many blue chip REITs on corp M&A/advisory assignments. They did a lot of debt/equity issuances for REITs, but that may have changed post Wells. I haven’t kept up with it. The private market brokerage platform is a unique asset that other traditional banks don’t have, which drives a more insightful view of value as it’s understood granularly at the asset-level across public and private contexts. You must be pretty young if you’re ignorant to their track record and reputation, but that’s fine. Ask your IB MD boss if they’re legit and you’ll have your answer.
