Real estate is one of the most important asset classes in any economy. Contracts for real estate transaction have been found in ancient Sumerian clay tablets dating from 2000 BCE. In the U.S., residential and commercial real estate total over $39 Trillion in 2007, as compared with the $22 Trillion market for corporate equities. Real estate careers are varied and focus on key areas such as development & investment, management, or finance and capital markets. The OGSM curriculum in real estate is intended to help prepare students for a career in real estate, and also to introduce those students who concentrate in finance to an area that is now undeniably linked to the capital markets. The Real Estate Club is one of the most active at Owen and students have enjoyed a great placement record both locally and nationally.
