Real Estate Analyst, Clarion Associates Inc. - Chicago
Clarion Associates, Inc., is a national real estate and land use consulting firm that works on major
assignments for both private sector and public sector clients from its affiliated offices in Chicago,
Colorado (Denver, Ft. Collins, and Snowmass), Cincinnati, Philadelphia, Florida, and Chapel Hill, North Carolina. The primary focus of the Chicago office is real estate consulting and analysis, often in a litigation support capacity. About half of the clients of our Chicago office come to us through law firms, and much of our day-to-day client contact on litigation-related assignments is with lawyers at major corporations from across the U.S. In addition, however, the Chicago office has a diverse real estate consulting practice focused on market and valuation analysis on a variety of real estate types including contaminated properties, special purpose properties, and historically or scenically significant properties.
Over the years the Chicago office has worked on assignments in virtually every state and some foreign
countries and we are currently working on assignments in California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois,
Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia, and
Wisconsin, and as well as several assignments in the Chicago area.
QUALIFICATIONS/RESPONSIBILITIES
We have an immediate need to fill a full-time Real Estate Analyst position. The day to day duties for this position involve a combination of real estate research and data collection, real estate analysis, report
preparation, and client communication on a wide variety of project types. The work is typically
conducted in a "team" capacity with either the Senior Vice President or Vice President in the Chicago
office and an associate staff member.
Bachelor's degree in business, finance, real estate or another related field.
Approximately 1-3 years' work experience
Strong analytical skills
Experience with Microsoft Excel and Word is a prerequisite. Experience with other real estate related
software such as Access (database) or ArcView (GIS), is a plus, but is not required.
The ideal candidate would possess a basic understanding of financial analytical techniques such as
income and expense forecasting, selection of capitalization and discount rates, present value
calculations, and capitalization of income.
The ideal candidate would also be a skilled writer, a thoughtful analyst and an excellent oral
communicator. Completion of coursework in real estate valuation, analysis or finance, and a basic
understanding of the real estate appraisal process is a plus.
CANDIDATE PROFILE
We are seeking a candidate with an interest in the real estate industry. Although a real estate major or
background is a plus, it is not a requirement. We are seeking a candidate with the desire to learn and
develop their skills on the job. START DATE
