Strategic Real Estate Management

INTRODUCTION

This GLOMACS Strategic Real Estate Management training course covers the methods, concepts and application of real estate investment and ownership.

Delegates will therefore analyse real estate investment opportunities and property operations from a strategic, financial, legal and management perspective, developing feasibility studies, budgets, and management plans in the same way as a chartered surveyor and a professional corporate property manager. The focus is on properties and market conditions in the Middle East, but with plenty of international examples, and analysis of relevant accounting, legal and property management material applied to different classes of property such as offices, retail, hotels, residential and warehouses.

Training Methodology

This training course will be thoroughly interactive, reinforcing learning through practical real-world exercises and examples throughout. Delegates may be asked to perform calculations, analyse financial aspects of the case, and draw conclusions, or make presentations to other groups regarding the case.

Generally, encourage questions and discussion throughout to make the course learning experience worthwhile for the delegates.
