  During my summer internship at Unique People Services, a prominent organization specializing in offering affordable housing to individuals with mental illness and AIDS, I had the invaluable opportunity to contribute to their Real Estate Department. This role provided me with hands-on experience in the real estate industry and a chance to make a meaningful impact. My responsibilities encompassed a variety of tasks aimed at streamlining property management and tenant relations. I played a pivotal role in reaching out to property owners to facilitate lease acquisition, an essential function that enabled the organization to expand its portfolio of properties. This involved effective communication, negotiation skills, and attention to detail. One of the highlights of my internship was conducting property visits to both existing holdings and prospective acquisitions. These visits allowed me to gain firsthand insights into the physical condition of the properties and their suitability for the organization's mission. This experience enhanced my ability to evaluate properties critically and assess their potential for providing quality housing. In addition, I had the privilege of working with a comprehensive computer software application designed to manage properties, tenants, rents, and leases. My involvement extended from data entry to overseeing the migration of critical information onto the platform. I played a vital role in the successful implementation of this software, which not only simplified the organization's property management processes but also enabled tenants to connect with the company more efficiently. In summary, my internship at Unique People Services equipped me with valuable skills in property management, negotiation, and software implementation. The experience solidified my passion for real estate and deepened my commitment to making a positive impact on individuals' lives through affordable housing solutions. Show less
