Disregard my current title, I work for both a small residential/ commercial investment real estate brokerage as an agent and I work at a commercial real estate mortgage bank (CMBS Trading). BTW consulting in your beginning stage is not bad experience if you’re trying to break into real estate.
I’m not sure who’s hiring interns at the moment as there are a lot of hiring freezes, but I’d encourage you to also look into mortgage or credit/ banking companies as there may be more opportunities there and they typically give you a wider amount of transferable experience to most businesses compared to property brokerage.
If you can invest the time, it would also not be a bad investment to get your mortgage or brokerage license this summer to showcase that you’re serious about getting into real estate, and mortgage/ property brokers will take you more seriously. There’s also REFM or Adventures in CRE (very dense but excellent, I’d advise you to go check their website/ forum) to study commercial real estate financial modeling/ underwriting. Which if you can get down, will take you leaps and bounds over candidates and competitors in the industry.
r/CREprofessionals on Reddit has great info for people trying to join the industry.
Something I wish someone told me about before was Wall Street Oasis. That forum gives excellent career advice and puts things in perspective from some of the best competition in the industry.
For commercial real estate brokerage, I know Marcus and Millichap offers a ton of internship opportunities as well. Unfortunately it’s closed this year but look out for next year and start reaching out to brokers from their website or LinkedIn everyday. https://www.marcusmillichap.com/careers/internship
