NAIOP North Texas To Host Fourth Annual Texas Shoot-out Real Estate Challenge

March 24, 2009 - PRLog -- Greg Fuller, current President of NAIOP North Texas, announced the Fourth Annual Texas Shoot-Out Real Estate Challenge to be held on April 2, 2009, at The Dallas Country Club. This year’s competition will include graduate-level teams from seven Texas schools: University of Texas, Southern Methodist University, Texas A&M, Baylor University, Texas Tech University, Rice University and Texas Christian University.  The teams will compete for $10,000 and $7,500 cash prizes, to be split between the students and colleges.

The event is open to the public at 4:00 p.m. on April 2nd, when a panel of 10 real estate executives from the area’s top real estate firms will judge the teams’ solutions. The Shoot-Out’s lead sponsor is PlainsCapital Bank; LYNOUS Talent Management provided this year’s case study.
