Real Estate Organizations

There are several professional real estate organizations where students can network to explore career possibilities, find jobs, and find real estate business. Below is a brief list of some of the professional organizations, most of which have local chapters here in Portland. This link provides the calendar of events for many local real estate organizations' meeting and event dates. In addition, students can obtain help in researching careers and job opportunities in real estate by contacting Julie Staker at stakerj@pdx.edu or by contacting the Portland State Career Center.
