I'm a 34 year old commercial real estate appraiser for CBRE, the largest real estate services firm in the world.
I value properties for banks, life insurance companies, developers, attorneys and others
I've got a 680 on my gmat
I went to East Carolina University, graduated in 2004 w/ a 2.75 GPA. I worked full time to pay my own way through college. While I was in school, I got my real estate sales license, brokers license, and appraisal trainee license. I managed a few properties for other people and I bought 5 rental properties around the school I was going to. My goal was to build a real estate empire. I took 18 credits every semester and also took other career courses outside of school. I had to support myself and build my career while going to school at the same time.
I've got my MAI and CCIM designations and a vice president title at the office. I also currently make about $150K a year. Does this help?
I'm interested in going to the U of Southern Cal Masters of Real Estate Development program
I am applying for the 2014 school year
My goal is to start my own real estate investment company and take it public (form a REIT)
Can I get in? My undergrad GMAT is terrible. Getting great grades was not my top priority 10 years ago.
Any info you can share is greatly appreciated!
