Joseph R Storiz

As a recent graduate completing a degree in Finance and Real Estate at the Indiana University Kelley School of Business, I have an intense passion for building relationships, working with others, and developing solutions. My biggest passion, however, is in Real Estate. My family has been in the real estate industry for three generations, each doing something a little different. I remember spending time as a child with my father and grandfather putting in hardwood floors, fixing toilets, painting walls, and replacing garbage disposals and sump pumps. These weren't always the cleanest jobs, but it made me develop a love for real estate. With my past experience in the commercial real estate field, I have developed skills such as facilitating showings with clients, analyzing proposals, negotiating leases, and communicating with teammates. Through this internship at Marc Realty in Chicago, I was able to explore and familiarize myself with the city environment. Working with numbers and dealing with money have also always appealed to me and been a strength, this is one of the main reasons for my interest in the field of finance. I have also had the opportunity to intern with BDO USA as a Real Estate Valuations Intern. Through this virtual internship during the heart of covid, I was able to learn how to use comps, read and understand tax bills and assessments, analyze different types of leases, and edit and write final memos for clients. Most importantly I learned how to work with a team and to never be afraid to ask for help when needed.
