Hi, I am trying to get a list together of major, well-known companies that have in-house real estate departments that manage their own locations, negotiate deals, and do their own site-selection. One company that comes to mind is REI. I am seeking a career in real estate not as a generic broker or property manager but within a larger ‘non-real estate’ company. Thanks!
The first answer contains a non-resolving redirection that Firefox blocks.
To find companies – and it seems unlikely anyone here would know except by chance – you need to look at places that use stand alone stores that are not franchises and places that are the lead tenants in places they could own – Walmart, Sams, Macy’s, BestBuy, Petco, Petsmart, Sears, Whole Foods, other super market chains, Academy Sports, Home Depot, Lowes, Michael’s, Hobby Lobby, are places I have been in recent times which seem likely candidates. But I would bet that at least a couple of those have an outside firm that specializes – they outsource their real estate department.
