Reviews on Urban Real Estate Center

״This is a great way to learn about development. I brought my own project and am getting great help and feedback on that. It’s hands-on, and I can really get practical knowledge about the real estate development process. I love the presentations and how personal they feel. ״

wonderful job ! this was extremely beneficial - would certainly do another one in the new year !

The course was truly amazing. Very different than other educating platforms in the market. We were able to speak and get educated by real investors and operators in the market and essentially ask them whatever we wanted. They were there to explain certain factors personally if there was any confusion and all content was produced by some of the biggest names in the industry. Thanks for the education Urban Real estate Center!

The course was great, I loved all of the information that is given and how open the conversations are. Also found it very convenient that all of the classes are recorded in case you cannot make one of the schedule live days. Best money I ever spent, look forward to getting more classes from the Urban Real Estate Center.

Enjoyed the content of the course. Learned a lot. Would like copies of all the templates discussed.

Very informative, solid templates, great interactivity with the analyst hour and break out sessions

The Urban Real Estate Center put together a detailed program on real estate development with some of the biggest names in the industry. I experienced direct contact with titans in the NY market throughout the program. Joe Berko is knowledgeable, experienced and generous providing case studies from the projects he has invested, along with access to his team at Astor Realty Capital. The team is willing to help with issues you might encounter during your deal analysis including weekly access as an Alumni. The alumni group they created is full of like minded professionals from different aspects of the industry that I am happy to be part of and excited to see grow. I already recommended a colleague take a program as I see this as huge opportunity for a professional to grow in real estate.

I believe the Urban Real Estate Capital Raise Program hands down has been the best investment that I have made in the real estate industry since I joined the industry myself. The instructors, the guest speakers and the curriculum have provided me an immense amount of value since I joined the program.

I have had a great experience and found the instructors and staff to be engaging and proactive in maximizing our learning. The instructors make the effort to tie in not only their own but also the students real world experience.

I am finding the course very beneficial, very real world. They bring real world projects to the mix - real world people doing real world projects. -

I found great value in attending this program. Especially the breakdown of the pro-forma. Aside from the great materials, I was able to learn alot from the experience of the other members through weekly networking sessions in class.

"I’ve been mentored by many investment real estate professionals, brokers and developers. The URE Center’s master class has given me a true to life perspective of the stories my mentors have been articulating over the past few years. I now have the tools and blueprint to pursue my most ambitious projects. Thank you URE Center for taking such a vast subject and making it digestible for most real estate professionals."

I really enjoyed the program. It has been packed with so much information. I am so glad that we have the resources to go back and go over the information again.

"Joe Berko is amazing - poised, genius, funny, and focused. His program was so inspiring and real. Such a unique learning experience, especially when on conference calls with fellow classmates and distinguished leaders such as Bob Knakal and Shana Gatanis! I'm keeping my eye out for the next program to attend"

I have learnt so much as a contractor, wanting to get into real estate development and trying to learn investments and presentations. It has been notable.

So glad I came across a mention of this class online and decided to pull the trigger. Joe Berko and his team have developed a very impressive curriculum and approach in which they prepare students for conceptual and practical approaches towards successful, modern real estate development. Live guests, augmented by taped interviews w/ some of the industry’s giants and rising stars, provide unique and engaging deep-dives into proven strategies and creative problem-solving. I’m grateful for the tremendous insight I’ve gained—and inspired to put some of my ideas to the test! Thank you, Joe Berko, and your solid team—this class delivered and then some!

development experience. My 5 -10 year plan was to be a developer and this program seemed to be the best route to getting there. Since the first day I felt capable of learning what's necessary to reach my goals. The experts give great insights on how they went from being rookies to experts, which made me feel like it's possible. Joe Berko, was an incredible program director. Overall I was amazed by the classes and the support"

experience, the material was of the highest level in Real Estate Development/Investment. The speakers were the best in the industry. The facilitator Joe Berko is a well seasoned Real Estate Developer/Lender, a good listener, and a great instructor. The portal giving access to all of the material and communicating with all the students and faculty is the icing on the cake. It's a place where like-minded people share and help each other. I'm looking forward to the extra activities and new classes the Urban Real Estate Center offers. ״
