CREATE Fellows Work on Teambuilding Skills

At the 9/21/22 Fellows session at SFSU, students learned the importance of working with a cohesive team to achieve a goal. While commercial real estate may not involve balloons (or maybe somedays it does), strong communication skills and sharing ideas among your teammates is a great way to address challenges. The exercise allowed the students to work closely with their peers and have fun in the process.

CREATE completely surpassed all of my expectations. Everything I was able to learn in CREATE I'm actually able to put to work everyday. It's not just property management, its leasing, its design and more.
