Real Estate Resume Help

Hi everyone, if anyone needs help with their resume drop it below and I will take a look. I am in no ways an expert at resume writing or reviewing but am always willing to help another in need. On that note, I have a passage for my resume and hope that someone can critique it/give me some pointers.

Thanks again

*Created Discounted Cash Flow Models on ARGUS to value income producing Real Estate and cash flows to L.P's and G.P's
*Presented a Real Estate Private Equity pitch and Offering Memorandum covering the development, capital raising, management, and sale of an income producing asset to find levered and unlevered returns (IRR, NPV, etc) and investor cash flow distribution

 

I've known people to get hired from the intern program of those type firms, so if you can intern with one, seems the most obvious. Beyond that, interning in an I-bank is always respected (not necessarily an easier internship to get). I would think an internship with a top investment sales brokerage, capital markets (debt/equity placement), or even commercial appraisal would be good.

In short, any internship where you analyze deals should be good.

 

Thank you for your response! This next question may be over specific but do you know the most notable CRE Firms in NJ as well as I-Banks that’d be realistic from a state school w/ a 3.7 GPA?

 

Hmm, for NJ CRE firms, I think of PGIM and MetLife real estate, but that may be because I know people there in NJ. There are a lot in N. NJ, a lot of national firms have office out there.

The I-bank question is tougher, on campus recruiting is tough because there are tons of applicants for a few positions (even in a good year). Boutique firms are less likely to care about GPA or school. Really all the snobbery falls fast outside of the "big" names that everyone applies to. I would turn to your alumni for connections to I-banks, CRE firms, etc. That is the best way to go.

I have something similar to the first point that reads like this:

"Utilized expert knowledge of Excel and ARGUS to produce accurate and detailed cash flow analysis for valuations and offering materials"

That was for an investment sales role, so you can adjust as needed to fit your experience.

On the second one, maybe try to include specific property types you work on or if you are regionally focused, include the region.
