Real Estate Mustangs?

[CalallenStang]

I was always mystified why SMU never had a school with all the big time real estate alums that have come through here...

A separate school? I like the fact that the real estate program is part of Cox.

My wife is an SMU graduate and has been a Realtor since 1979. She half-jokingly says that she's the youngest Realtor in Dallas with 30 years of residential real estate experience! I got my real estate license 5 years ago and went to work with her. We're with Virginia Cook, Realtors in the Sherry Lane office in Preston Center.

I have often used Cook'n Sherry.

I think I posted something similar a year or two ago and got no response, so I'll try again.

I'm in real estate development (in this climate acquisition) and I am constantly running into SMU alum in this industry. Is there an organization attached to SMU that tries to connect real estate alumni? I've contacted the "real estate department" at SMU with no response. I guess it hurts that the school doesn't have a real estate school granting degrees, but this a huge missed opportunity if indeed no such organization exists because of our strength in this particular field.

If there are any real estate focused alums on the board that would be interested in forming an organization let me know. I'll try and connect with the right people at the school.

FYI -- I sent you a PM.
