TAKE YOUR CAREER TO THE NEXT LEVEL
AIR CRE believes in supporting the commercial real estate industry and developing the next generation of CRE leaders. Our one-year, sponsored Membership program provides new brokers with access to our full platform of Member resources – a $2,500 value.
The program immerses up-and-coming CRE professionals in key tools of the trade, including access and training on AIR CRE Research & Listings and AIR CRE Contracts, as well as opportunities to network with peers and AIR CRE Board of Directors and senior industry leaders throughout Southern California. Participants will also receive valuable education on key industry issues, including market trends, legislation, doing deals, and contract negotiation strategies.
In addition, the AIR CRE>Next Class of 2025 will be introduced to all AIR CRE Members via email and will have their name, contact information, and bio included in the 2025 Member Network list. AIR CRE>Next Members will also be educated on the Rules of Professional Conduct, which ensures all Members treat each other respectfully and ethically. When you work across the table from a fellow AIR CRE Member, you can have confidence that your negotiations will adhere to a common code.

"AIR CRE>Next has been an amazing opportunity to learn from the best, network with young professionals like myself, and grow experiences within the real estate world. The lawn bowling event, though unfortunately cut short due to a last minute tour, fostered great community and was a change of pace compared to grabbing drinks at a bar like a typical networking event. 10/10 here."

THANKS TO OUR 2024 SPONSOR
"Thank you for allowing me to participate! The AIR CRE>Next program was such a great experience for me. I really enjoyed meeting other new-to-the-business brokers and getting connected to some of the biggest players in the SoCal Market. Lawn Bowling, Golf and Happy Hour are definitely huge perks too! I’m glad I was a part of the Year 2 Crew of the AIR CRE>Next program. You did a great job all around with all the events and meetings. I will definitely continue to recommend people to AIR CRE!"
