"AREA has been a tremendous resource in preparing for a career in real estate. ACT, Days on the Job, and guest speakers have provided valuable, real-world insight into the industry. Through its numerous events, AREA has also given me opportunities to network and build meaningful relationships with my class, Anderson alumni, and other real estate professionals across the US."
