Eastdil VS Hines VS Goldman
Hey Guys, just wondering what would be the best option to summer with the aim of getting into REPE in the long run - Eastdil, Goldman (NPL acquisitions) or Hines (acquisitions) ?
Thanks

You are leaving out quite a lot of detail: what is your real estate background, where do you go to school, grad or undergrad-level...
Assuming you have little or none prior experience, I'd recommend that you get into a shop that sees a lot of deal flow (brokerage and debt come to mind), and learn how buildings get sold and why do some businesses buy them and others do not. And then plan your REPE move in advance - learn modeling, network and the like.
I'm undergrad in Europe, but have a lot of experience and trying to figure out which would be the best route.
Let's be honest - this isn't a real choice you're making. You're leaving out far too many peer organizations and the three are far too scattered. Those are just three "prestige" names you pulled out of a hat.
Yeah I guess it seems odd, I've tried other shops these are just the ones that came to fruition.
If so, here's my serious answer: If I had to choose I'd vote for the GS NPL group but these are all fine if your aim is REPE, so think about who you'd get along with the best.
Which Hines office?
"best option to summer"
You are into professional sailing, and spend June-August in Nantucket. Don't lie to me.
figawiiiiii
Nah nearly drowned the last time I was out, the boat flipped completely upside-down hahah, never again!!!!
Cross off Eastdil in the US unless you're a rich white kid named "Colt" from Wharton.
hahah is it that bad? I'm white not at Wharton though... please elaborate!
Eastdil if you want REIB, goldman if you want vanilla PE deals with HEAVY deal flow, HINES in last place...maybe if you want more deal level experience on the acquisitions side? But I cant see why I'd choose HINES over GS or Eastdil if I had offers/options at all three... Nothing against Hines, I just think Goldman and Eastdil are stronger shops. But again, Eastdil, to me, is primarily IB driven, so I'd look elsewhere if you want basic PE model..
Other strong PE shops are places like Prudential, Invesco, Blackstone, etc....
Thanks for the feedback, yeah I have the Hines and Eastdil offer and will go into Goldman tomorrow. Note these are in Europe so Eastdil are quite new here, so I'm unsure about the exit opps into REPE, any idea how they are? My goal is to be on the acquisition side and yeah I'm actually currently interning with one of the firms you mentioned above. Interesting I would have thought Hines would be a great place to learn about the bricks and mortar with a mix of the financial aspect on deals setting you up nicely to exit to a top rope fund?
