Internship Track

Build your dream career

Could Commercial Real Estate be the high-paying, fulfilling career you're looking for?

Why choose a career in commercial real estate?

Chances are, there are countless roles in real estate that you don’t even know about and SEO Career wants to help you land them.

 

We offer the top program for building your career in Commercial Real Estate with paid internships (avg. summer salary $10K+) in Real Estate Investing and Finance for Freshman, Sophomores and Juniors.

 

The real estate industry is more than just your local real estate agent. It’s a diverse group of well-educated professionals designing, developing, investing in, and managing the places where you live, work, shop, and play.

 

From development to property management, from portfolio management to acquisitions, the industry offers a wide range of highly lucrative, rewarding, and impactful careers in commercial real estate.

In fact, most of our Junior internships result in full-time offers.

In SEO, I found mentors, friends, sponsors who helped me direct my efforts in all the right places and ultimately helped me place into some of the most competitive firms in the world.
