CBRE vs Goldman Sachs

Hi everyone. Finished up my freshman year and interning in Occupier Advisory and Transaction Services with CBRE. Just saw that Goldman has their Real Estate Asset Management internships opening up soon, and I was thinking about applying. Wanting to do REPE or something in real estate after graduation.

Was wondering how prestigious each of these are, as well as what you would do if I were to get an offer to intern at Goldman (already have return offer w CBRE). Additionally, how would the two groups differ? Right now, I'm doing a bit with valuation and advising clients on property leases. Goldman's Realty Management internship says interns do the following:

During your time with us you will assist team members by helping evaluate potential real estate investment opportunities, conduct market and portfolio analyses, learn about industry trends, assist in the development of investment summaries, and support the reporting of financial projections and investor return. You will also undergo formal and informal training and participate in networking events.

What would you do in my position?
