Who We Are

Proudly representing USC Marshall, MREFA combines strong industry connections with rigorous technical education and thoughtfully curated opportunities for members to learn from and engage with real estate professionals.

These opportunities reflect our leadership team’s commitment to building and maintaining strong industry relationships. Firms reach out to MREFA directly to host information sessions and recruit our members, recognizing our technical preparation and professionalism.

Credibility

As a Marshall Recognized Student Organization, MREFA connects members with USC Marshall faculty, career networks, and professional resources. This affiliation strengthens our educational programming, supports lasting relationships with firms, and helps prepare members for competitive opportunities across the real estate industry.

Why Students Choose Us

Industry Access

Direct relationships with firms across private equity, investment banking, capital markets, lending, development, and brokerage. Our members visit offices, not just websites.

Technical Depth

The only undergraduate real estate organization at USC with a selective program built around Excel modeling, deal underwriting, and valuation from the ground up.

Alumni Network

Women in CRE

TREW, our women's initiative co-founded in 2025, operates in formal partnership with leading professionals and firms in the industry, giving women in the program real access, real mentorship, and real visibility.
