Real estate interviews are fundamentally different from other finance or business interviews. Whether you are pursuing a role at a brokerage, an institutional investor, a REIT, or a development firm, interviewers expect you to think in terms of cap rates, NOI waterfalls, lease structures, and market cycles. Generic case prep does not prepare you for this.
The interview process typically involves live underwriting exercises, portfolio optimization cases, and market analysis presentations. You need to demonstrate that you can take a property or portfolio, assess its fundamentals, build a defensible investment thesis, and stress-test assumptions — all under time pressure. This platform coaches you through exactly those scenarios.

Why real estate interviews need dedicated prep
Real estate interviews test domain-specific knowledge that generic business frameworks cannot cover. You need to understand how cap rates compress and expand, how lease structures affect NOI, how construction costs and entitlement timelines create development risk, and how macro factors like interest rates and supply pipelines affect market dynamics. These are not skills you pick up from standard consulting or finance interview prep.
The AI coach pushes you to think like a real estate professional. How do you defend a going-in cap rate when the market is repricing? How do you model tenant rollover risk in a multi-tenant industrial portfolio? How do you structure a mixed-use repositioning when the existing zoning does not support residential? These are the questions that separate candidates who get offers from those who do not.
