Description
In today’s rapidly evolving commercial real estate landscape, AI isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a competitive advantage. Our comprehensive “AI for CRE” course equips real estate professionals with practical, industry-specific AI skills that deliver immediate value to your daily operations.
Why This Course Matters
Those who strategically apply AI in commercial real estate will gain a serious edge over competition, while those who fail to adapt risk falling behind. Our curriculum bridges this gap with real-world applications taught by industry practitioners who use these tools at scale.
What You’ll Learn
Across two focused modules, you’ll master:
- Fundamental AI concepts specifically relevant to CRE
- Practical case studies solving real industry challenges
- Hands-on experience with AI tools for data extraction, comp analysis, financial modeling, and more
- Advanced techniques like building custom GPTs, fine-tuning models, and creating AI workflows
Who Should Enroll
This course is designed for real estate leaders charting their organization’s tech strategy, practitioners seeking to automate repetitive tasks, and entrepreneurs building new CRE ventures.
Curriculum
Our AI for CRE course is built on the case-based learning method that has made our financial modeling programs so effective. Rather than abstract theory, you’ll learn through practical, real-world case studies that provide context and immediate application opportunities.
