Seattle, WA | Full-time | Summer 2026
Great Expectations SPC ( and our affiliate Arboreal Management LLC) are looking for sharp, entrepreneurial summer interns who want real exposure to commercial real estate, property operations, and affordable housing development.

Great Expectations SPC is a mission-driven real estate company focused on solving housing affordability through smart investment, development, and operations.

We believe great housing can be both impactful and financially successful.

supporting executive projects

Commercial leasing
Asset management
Real estate underwriting

Market research & competitive analysis
Development & acquisitions

Comfort talking with people
Good judgment
Strong Excel / analytical ability
Curiosity about business, investing, or housing
Willingness to get out in the field and make things happen
A little competitive fire

Most internships let you watch.
This one lets you build.

A short note on why this interests you
Anything you’ve built, sold, led, or hustled on (school project, business, club, side hustle, anything)
We care more about drive and horsepower than pedigree. ually drives asset performance.
If you’re smart, curious, and willing to hustle, you’ll leave the summer knowing more about multifamily real estate than many people learn in years.
