• Investment Marketing & Transaction Support: Prepare financial analyses and supporting materials for Broker Opinions of Value (BOVs), Offering Memorandums (OMs), investment proposals, and client presentations.
• Market Research: Research multifamily market trends, rental rates, operating expenses, capitalization rates, and investment activity to support valuations and business development initiatives.
• Collaboration & Client Service: Work closely with brokers and team members to deliver accurate, timely, and insightful financial analyses that support client investment decisions and transaction execution.
• Project Management & Quality Control: Manage multiple assignments simultaneously, maintain exceptional attention to detail, meet demanding deadlines, and ensure accuracy and consistency across all financial deliverables.
• Process Improvement: Identify opportunities to enhance financial models, streamline analytical processes, and improve overall team efficiency and productivity.

What You’ll Bring

• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Business Administration, Real Estate, or a related field.
• 2-3 years of demonstrated experience underwriting commercial real estate properties is required; multifamily underwriting experience is a plus.
• Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel, including developing complex financial models, cash flow projections, and investment return analyses.
• Strong understanding of commercial real estate valuation methodologies, financial statements, and investment metrics.
• Experience analyzing rent rolls, operating statements, market comparables, and property-level financial performance.
• Exceptional analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills with meticulous attention to detail.
• Strong time management skills and the ability to prioritize multiple projects while consistently meeting deadlines.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to present complex financial information clearly and effectively.
• A proactive, resourceful, and collaborative approach, with a strong sense of accountability and commitment to delivering high-quality work.
