Reflecting on an Incredible Internship Journey at ARX with Nolan
A Journey of Learning and Growth at ARX
As my internship at ARX comes to a close, I'm excited to reflect on the valuable experiences and insights I've gained over the summer. Allow me to share a glimpse of my journey and how it has shaped my path.
About Nolan: A Passion for Operations and Real Estate
I'm Nolan Martin, a senior at the University of Utah, pursuing a degree in Operations and Supply Chain Management. Throughout the 2022-2023 academic year, I had the privilege of working alongside the wonderful people who make up the Ivory Innovations team, where I'm honored to be a second-year student associate. It's been an incredible opportunity to collaborate with both familiar faces and new colleagues.
ARX: Revolutionizing Real Estate Investment and Intelligence
Throughout the summer, I had the privilege to contribute to ARX, a real estate intelligence platform catering to fix and flippers, lenders, brokers, and developers. This platform assists them in seeking optimal opportunity deals and real estate investment strategies in a timely and cost-effective way. My role involved enhancing the website's appearance and structure, making it more user-friendly for our clients. Additionally, I was engaged in revamping our communication strategies through emails, social media, and blog posts, expanding our outreach to a wider audience.
Gaining Hands-On Experience in Real Estate Investment Strategies
I was fortunate to join team meetings where I delved into financial modeling intricacies and understood how the platform operates on a larger scale. Being part of the process of sourcing key investment opportunities and strategies was truly enlightening.
Mentorship and Growth: The Power of Effective Communication in Real Estate
Beyond the technical skills, this internship offered me a deep sense of gratitude and appreciation. My mentors, Hernan Garcia and Tomas Garcia, exhibited unwavering respect, patience, and guidance. Their mentorship taught me effective communication, team trust, and the importance of providing space for learning. I was never hesitant to ask questions, seek clarification, or delve into tasks, which significantly boosted my confidence.
The Impact of ARX’s Team Dynamics and Real Estate Innovation
ARX's team dynamics, co-founders, and commitment to excellence have left an indelible impact on me. As I embark on my career journey, the lessons learned at ARX will be my guiding light. The experience has instilled in me the qualities of a great team player, effective communicator, and dedicated problem solver.
I'm incredibly thankful for this enriching opportunity, and I'm excited to carry forward the lessons that I've learned at ARX into my future endeavors.
Cheers to a memorable internship and a wonderful summer!
