The Premier National Trade Association for
Commercial Real Estate Principals
ABOUT REIAC
The Real Estate Investment Advisory Council (REIAC) was established as a nonprofit trade association to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas, concerns and experiences among senior executives who conduct commercial real estate transactions.
We are an exclusive national fellowship of top real estate executives that offers superior educational events, networking opportunities and community service. Our institutional quality programs are presented in a social environment where our members can share experiences and knowledge with their peers. Our events encourage members to broaden horizons and develop personal relationships that further their success within the industry.
Our organization differs from others by limiting its membership to senior level executives at companies, who act as principals, whose function is to develop, acquire, manage and/or finance commercial investment real estate. Our meetings and conferences provide an environment for relaxed communication within an intimate and upscale setting. We honor our relationships with each other by sharing rather than selling. As a result, REIAC is known throughout the national investment community as one of its premier associations.
