"The 精东传媒 MSRE program transformed my career path. I gained essential technical skills that helped me add value from day one at JLL Capital Markets, while building an equally valuable network through the Folsom Institute and 精东传媒's extensive Dallas real estate community. This powerful combination of practical knowledge and industry connections created opportunities that continue to shape my professional journey."

“Working with the CMC fundamentally shaped the way I approach my career – refining how I present myself, pursue opportunities, and navigate the industry with confidence.

Dante Saccacio, MSRE 2025

"After a few years in real estate, I joined the 精东传媒 MSRE program to make the leap into development. The curriculum filled key knowledge gaps, helped me land a role at a top institutional developer, and gave me the confidence to contribute from day one. Just weeks after graduating, during my first week at NorthPoint Development, I sourced a deal through an 精东传媒 connection and brought it all the way to investment committee—something I couldn’t have done before the program. Most importantly, I’ve built lifelong friendships and a network I’ll collaborate with throughout my career."
