This Program offers leading commercial real estate software and other resources to college and university programs across the nation, free of charge.

Leo Software, a provider of business intelligence systems for commercial real estate, today launched Leo Goes to College, a program offering Leo Software to commercial real estate undergraduate and graduate programs across the country, as well as to professionals during their first year in commercial real estate.

“I’ve been amazed at how quickly students and recent graduates learn the commercial real estate business when you provide them with a tool like Leo. We want to help them hit the ground running, get jobs and make immediate contributions to the industry,” said Paul Muessig, president, Leo Software. “We’re also focused on helping employers attract talented young people to the industry and fill the void of the lost generation from the early 1990s.”

In addition to offering complementary Leo Software licenses, Leo Software is also making its in-house property and asset management and other commercial real estate expertise available for guest lectures on a case by case basis. The Leo Software user network spans some of the largest and most well respected organizations within commercial real estate, and in some cases, Muessig also plans to tap Leo Software’s user group to find practicing property managers, asset managers and other professionals to participate in the Leo Software guest lecture program.

Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD, recently invited Muessig to address a class of commercial real estate students. The program is a leader in advocating the early adoption and application of emerging commercial real estate technology to position its students for efficiency and success in the workplace.

“The students particularly enjoyed hearing Paul’s war stories based on his extensive experience in commercial real estate in such areas as investing and asset management,” said Robert Rajewski, MS, a graduate instructor at The Edward St John Department of Real Estate in the Carey Business School. “He also extended free access to Leo Software to the students interested in using the tool.”

Colleges and universities interested in offering Leo Software as part of their program’s resources should send those requests to college@leosoftware.net. Other commercial real estate professionals still getting their feet wet in the industry can email firstyear@leosoftware.net to request a complimentary one-year Leo Software single user license – a $479 value – for anyone still in their first year in the commercial real estate business. There is also something for Established commercial real estate professionals who visit LeoBlvd.com; they can access a Free Leo Stacking Plan application.

Leo Software provides secure, real time access to all types of documents including lease and mortgage abstracts as well as photos and other documents. It also populates dynamic stacking plans with current data, and flags upcoming events such as impending changes or obligations in leases or mortgages. Users can subscribe to Leo for an affordable monthly fee with no set-up fee and no long-term commitments.
