Michael Brunelli, Investment Analyst, National Development
"The Basic Finance course is a straightforward presentation of concepts that are a critical foundation for your real estate knowledge base to grow from. You're not going to come out of it an immediate real estate mogul; you're going to come out of it better understanding the conversations more experienced colleagues are having around you every single day."
Ryan Hoium, Asset Management Analyst, Travelers Insurance
"As a student intern at a real estate firm, this course truly enabled me to learn about the concepts needed within industry. I learned so much that I could apply to my current job position."
Clementina D'Souza, Student, University of Waterloo
"The basic real estate finance course is a great introduction to the world of real estate finance and was perfect for me as I do not have a background in finance. It was a perfect balance of conceptual information and the basic mathematics involved in real estate finance and made me confident to continue into the next course."
Cameron Doherty, Student, University of Massachusetts Amherst
"The on-demand course was the perfect platform to expand my understanding of commercial real estate in the financial sector. Busy schedule? Global pandemic? There is still a way to learn industry best practices and develop one's self."
