Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My role was to support the process of helping clients dispose of or acquire office buildings. My day-to-day tasks consisted of conducting extensive research on regional office markets to write quarterly reports, analyzing property data to determine its market value, creating client brochures, and attending property tours, which required close collaboration with my team. Additionally, I assisted with administrative tasks such as updating leasing documents, including Heads of Terms and Tenancy Schedules.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes, that was what made the experience so rewarding to me! I felt like I had the trust and confidence of my colleagues to assist in various ways. Whether it was with revising the template of a tenancy schedule or taking part in larger tasks like helping clients identify buildings with high investment potential, the scope of my work was wide-ranging which made each day exciting.

Skills Development

Yes! I've gained a strong understanding of the industry overall and have learned how to thoroughly analyze properties by using data from the market, reviewing recent deals, and so much more. Working with so many documents, brochures, and data daily has also made me more attentive to detail, and collaborating closely with my team every day has also allowed me to build genuine relationships with my colleagues and improve my collaboration skills.
