Dear Hiring Manager,

Please accept this letter and enclosed resume for your consideration for the pos
ition of Real Estate & Construction Manager. I believe that my professional an
d personal experiences, along with my education and abilities uniquely qualify f
or the position.

I have over 18 years of progressive experience in both Real Estate and Construct
ion Management. My degrees in Business Administration and Architectural Draftin
g and Estimating have provided me with an excellent foundation in my career that
includes experience as business owner, property manager, project manager, field
engineer and estimator. I am an excellent communicator with proven leadership
skills and hold my teams and myself accountable for the highest level of perform
ance and transparency. My competence, reliability and dedication are my most va
lued assets, along with my ability to translate and communicate complex issues t
o any audience.

I am currently self-employed as a commercial real estate property owner and I ha

ve built a successful portfolio. The real estate investments I have developed a
re now passive (partnerships, tenant-in-common, trusses, absolute net leases) an
d require minimal management. I feel I have gained an excellent understanding o
f the fundamentals of property/construction management and would like to apply i
t for the benefit of your organization.

I look forward to the opportunity to discuss this position, my experience and qu

alifications with you further. I am looking for a new and exiting challenge.

Sincerely,
