Greystar referral request
Hi everyone, I'm graduating this May with a degree in Finance and have been narrowing my focus to the real estate side of the indsutry. Looking at my resume, which includes real estate experience through an internship and also through high school, I really think that going into that market is the right step forward for me.
After doing a lot of research on different REITs and other real estate development firms, I thought that Greystar really stood out ot me, especially with their office being in Charleston, it's even better of a match as it's closer to home. If anyone here has experience at Greystar, or would be happy/open to referring me for one of their analyst roles, I would love to chat and speak on my experience.
Thank you so much in advance, this is my first post, so hopefully I don't rub anybody the wrong way

Ah yes. I’d be happy to refer a total stranger on the internet with the name “googlefart” to work alongside me!
In all seriousness did you even try reaching out to people on LinkedIn?
Yeah I'm gonna have to revoke my referral request. You seem too fun to work with and I take my jobs very seriously.
