Frequently Asked Questions

The program is run by a group of volunteers and the team at Foresite Commercial Real Estate. It started as the company’s internal training program and has since expanded and spun off into the CRE Launch program available for anyone in the industry.

The lead team members running the program are Alex Tatem (atatem@foresitecre.com) and Bethany Babcock (bbabcock@foresitecre.com), both of whom can assist with any questions you may have. For more information, students can also reach us at (210) 816-2734 and request to speak with Nicole Mendoza about the CRE Launch Program.

The program was designed for up-and-coming aspiring commercial real estate professionals. That can be seniors in college, graduate students and new agents and property managers. 

However, each year we have welcomed seasoned commercial real estate attorneys, lenders and other professionals that are seeking a big picture view of their role in the industry.
