Neither are ideal, but definitely JLL/CBRE valuations. You’ll get better experience and are actually working at a real estate company. You can also try internally transferring to investment sales or d/e placement then jumping to repe (easier transition). It’s without a doubt still possible to go from valuations to REPE tho…I’ve seen it multiple times.

 

Thank you… The barrier to entry for the investment jobs here is slightly easier because it’s more on the agent side but I thought that valuation is better for the skillset in REPE… I already worked for real estate companies so that should be no reason against a big four

 

100% JLL / CBRE, not just the fact you're actually working for a real estate company but also the connections & networking you can do with people who work for the same company. The internal transfer route to investment sales or debt brokerage would be a good "next step" towards a REPE job as well. I worked at Big 4 advisory in RE and it's definitely not a common transition to go directly from those shops to PERE, especially in an acquisitions focused role. Can be done, but would angle for the JLL / CBRE route.
