Becoming a real estate developer in the Garden State

I’m Steven Rindner, also known as the Main Street Advisor. I’m from New Jersey and I’m heavy into real estate development. I also have friends who are also into real estate.

And I want to share this with all of you now, just in case you also had plans of becoming a developer in the future.


To become a real estate, you first need to have an education, but not just any education. You need to have the proper education. A few degrees that come to mind are business administration, urban development, construction management, and finance management. All these courses teach an individual many of the lessons they’ll need when developing properties and land. The proper education also helps you get your certifications and licenses needed for being a bona fide developer.

Another important factor in becoming a successful is experience. Now, you can get experience after obtaining all the requirements in becoming a developer, but I suggest you gain experience while you’re still in school. Make time to talk with developers. Go around town and check sites. Learn on the field while you’re still learning in school. This will bear so much useful fruit when the time comes for you to fly on your own.
