Weiser Center for Real Estate

The Weiser Center for Real Estate recently hosted a memorable Exclusive Evening with Ambassador Ronald Weiser, where a select group of students had the extraordinary opportunity to dine with him at his Ann Arbor residence. The evening was filled with vibrant conversation as Ambassador Weiser, founder of McKinley Companies, shared insights about his beginnings in the real estate industry, his remarkable philanthropic journey, and even some lively Michigan football talk! Students asked thought-provoking questions about investing in multifamily properties, securing investors, and the importance of treating employees well. Ambassador Weiser emphasized the value of meaningful relationships, reminding students to treat everyone you meet with respect, especially your peers - because one could be your future partner! Adding to the inspiration, Ambassador Weiser spoke about his son, Marc Weiser, founder of RPM Ventures, and their shared commitment to innovation and leadership in their respective industries. What a night! Students left the event inspired, armed with invaluable knowledge from one of the real estate industry’s greats. A heartfelt thank-you to Ambassador Weiser for sharing his time, wisdom, and experiences with the next generation of real estate leaders.
