Looking for Smaller Real Estate Shops for Unpaid Summer Internship

I’m a finance student interested in commercial real estate, especially the debt side, and I’m trying to find smaller real estate shops where I could reach out for a possible summer internship, unpaid internship, or even shadowing opportunity.

I’m not necessarily looking for the big-name firms that already have structured recruiting. I’m trying to identify smaller/private shops where a student could get real exposure, help with basic analysis, market research, underwriting support, deal sourcing, or general intern work.

I'd really appreciate it if anyone knows of such firms or knows how I can best execute this approach.
