Real Estate College Scholarships - FRES Ultimate Event is helping students

Описание: Stop sending your resume into a black hole. If you want a career in commercial real estate, you need to stop acting like an applicant and start acting like an insider. In this video, I’m breaking down the power of strategic networking and why events like the FRES Ultimate Challenge are the "dating apps" of the CRE industry.

I’m joined by my friend Geoffrey Stevens from Florida Retail Scholarships to discuss how they are helping students break into the business through grants, lodging, and direct introductions to industry titans like Kite Realty Group, Ripco, and Saglo.

📌 About this Channel:
I've been in the retail commercial real estate industry since 2000 and own & operate a portfolio of shopping centers across the Southeast. I'm Hue Chen, a fairly well-known figure in the shopping center industry, and I'd like to give viewers a glimpse inside of the exciting world of CRE through my videos. My goal is to bring awareness to anybody who is considering a career in operating, leasing, managing, or even owning commercial real estate and help them make the right decision.

This is still a small channel and I can really use your help in sharing my content! Thank you.
