With the onset of New Year, a new student club at Boise State is available to train students with knowledge and skills related to the real estate industry.
The Real Estate Association, led by founder and President Dylan Luxenberg and financial employee Harrison Tuline, strives to provide opportunities for a network for students who are interested in real estate.
The idea for the club originated around October 2024, when Luxenberg, inspired by a discussion with friends at Washington State University, interested in commercial real estate, decided to create a platform for students to engage in the field.
At the same time, Luxenberg’s friends took the initiative to launch their own real estate club.
“We talked and were like” Let’s start something that students can get involved with and contact different professionals in the industry, “Luxenberg.
The club provides different opportunities for members to connect as host guest lectures from different real estate sectors that will come and talk, giving students to exhibit various career paths in real estate, such as residential, commercial and international.
“It’s just more than the participation of professionals in the industry sharing their experience,” Luxenberg said. “It gives students an idea of what it might be for them and help them understand that it is actually possible because there is actually no information in college.”
Luxenberg mentioned that speaking with professionals in the industry, they mentioned the importance of maintaining “young professionals” in Boise, offering opportunities to work after completion, as the valley of treasures continues to expand.
“It really just goes with the growth and these companies and faces are expanding their departments, wanting to become bigger and develop more,” Luxenberg said. “The presence of young professionals, like people in the club, have many relationships and this is a really good thing.”
The club’s main focus is to “influence” Boise State in order to develop a real estate program/degree in the future as the city continues to grow. The population of the Boise region increased by almost 25% in 2024, worth the population to nearly 770,000.
“Starting this club, potentially receiving Boise State a Path Degret Path, would be huge,” said Thuleen. “Just bring extra people to get in and learn more about real estate – I want to say that everyone has to buy a house at a time.”
For the future, Tuline says the club seeks to expand in the provision of competitive opportunities for their members, where students can compete with other schools through work on real estate development projects.
“I think this will be a great thing,” Tulin said. “[It’ll] Participate really high and also enter large companies who want to help the sponsor – [provide a] A chance for internships. I think the first step is to bring our name there. ”
The real estate association currently has 40 active members, as they have officially become a club in late fall 2024. From this spring semester, Luxenberg says the club is looking to meet two weeks on Monday at 6:30 pm in the office building.
By 2024, Idaho had one of the less accessible home markets in the country, compared to states such as California, Hawaii and Oregon.
City of Trees Real Estate, Brent Hanson, explained Idaho’s housing market after 2020.
“With regard to the scene in the Idaho Homes Market Post Covid, especially around Boise – it was a lot of ride,” Hanson says in an email to the arbitrator. “It is my opinion that a major factor that raises housing prices is the influx of people seeking a kind of political asylum from countries with policies they disagree with, not exactly in the traditional sense of asylum, but even more so that People who are looking for a country whose policy is leveled more with their personal views. ”
In 2024, Idaho observed an increase in the population, increasing to over two million people.
With the launch of the Club of the Association of Real Estate, Hanson emphasized the potential of the club to form the future of the real estate industry in the Treasure Valley, dealing with the educational gap in this area.
“Starting a real estate program at Boise State can really shake things,” Hanson said. “I think this promises to increase the focus and development of real estate professionals, introducing a higher standard of knowledge that is much needed. This move can significantly improve the professionalism in the Boise real estate market. “
Hanson mentioned with the valley of treasures, continuing to grow and lead to more development, making it an attractive place for new residents, prices in the Boise real estate market will continue to increase.
