MIT's The CASE Competition 2013

Neat Washington Post article detailing the best real estate development proposals from the finalists - MIT, Cornell and Georgetown. The CASE is perhaps the most prestigious and daunting real estate case competition in the country, if not the world. A total of 32 teams competed from real estate master's programs and MBA programs from all over. One team even came from Hong Kong to compete. Participants must submit a comprehensive plan on how to redevelop a site from all aspects - financial, conceptual, architectural, legal, etc.

Congrats to the Cornell MPS RE students, MIT's MS RE students and Georgetown University's MPS RE team members for coming out on top in a large, competitive field, and putting together some very cool, inspiring development proposals.

Real Estate Career Roadmap (optional)

“Nick was extremely informative and gave me a lot of solid and practical advice. He answered all of my questions clearly and thoughtfully. I really appreciated that he gave me an actionable plan for how to approach recruiting and developing my career in general. He was very open about sharing his own experiences. He also gave me helpful perspective on how to differentiate myself during the recruiting process and make my conversations with professionals more meaningful. I feel like I have a clearer understanding of what I should focus on and concrete next steps. This was overall a helpful and valuable conversation. ”

Real Estate Mock Interview

“Nick was fantastic. He didn’t just glance at my resume and give me generic advice—he explained exactly why it wasn’t telling the story I wanted it to tell, then helped me figure out how to fix it. He pushed me to be more intentional about how I talk about my experience and gave me concrete steps to prepare for interviews, from tailoring my resume to practicing financial modeling. I also appreciated how candid he was. When I asked about real estate capital markets versus sales and trading, he gave me his honest opinion while being clear about his own perspective. He shared interview guides, answered all my questions, and offered to do a more detailed mock interview if I move forward with JLL. I left with a lot of work to do, but also a much clearer idea of how to do it. I’d absolutely recommend talking with Nick.”
