UG hiring into REPE and development is not as large or organized like for banking or brokerage as these firms have a strong desire to higher experienced people. The best way to get hired into those fields out of UG is by doing an internship with one and hopefully impressing them enough that they keep you on afterwards.
If you find job postings that show UG required, master's preferred, you can get they will get plenty of applicants with grad degrees and may never even get to the UG stack. This is just the way it is in a competitive world, why so many do various jobs for their 'exit ops' and/or pay thousands for grad degrees.
Finding a competitive advantage requires effort when seeking high pay/prestige roles. For UGs, the best route open is via internships and networking (usually from/within the internship).
thank you so much for the respond! I appreciate it! what if I don’t have any internship experience cause I kinda decided I wanted to get into CRE kind of late, would certifications help?
No harm with certifications (not exactly sure what you mean by this), like Argus is probably the best, most useful.
To note, I was factoring your graduation date. I think you should focus on applying for internships (not sure if you are in a place where you can work and go to school in the fall) as well as FT jobs. A lot of firms hire post-graduation interns, it's a smart strategy especially given the COVID situation and its potential on hiring. You are more likely to get an internship than a FT job, at a well regarded firm, all else equal.
You may want to focus on brokerage and appraisal firms (that are true CRE shops), they tend to be most open to the brand new. From there, you can learn, advance, and jump. Getting any start is more important that getting some 'perfect' start.
