One week down. Nine to go.
Our 2026 DTSpade Fellowship is officially underway, and this year's Fellows are already making an impact at our Atlanta headquarters.
Please join us in welcoming:
Joseph Thompson — University of Miami, Economics
Alex Lobel — University of Michigan, Political Science (returning Fellow)
Luke Whicker — University of Mississippi, Business Marketing & Sales
What sets this group apart? All three are already licensed real estate professionals in Georgia.
Over the next few weeks, they'll gain hands-on experience across commercial real estate brokerage, market research, business development, underwriting, and client advisory services while supporting our team on active assignments.
Much of that work starts in what we affectionately call the "Shark Tank" — the collaborative workspace where ideas are challenged, deals are discussed, and future industry leaders develop the skills needed to succeed in a competitive market.
This isn't a fellowship built around observation. It's built around participation.
The future of commercial real estate depends on talented, motivated professionals willing to learn, adapt, and contribute. We're proud to invest in the next generation.
Welcome to the team, Joseph, Alex, and Luke. We can't wait to see what you'll accomplish this summer.
