Real Estate Research Institute Fellows


The RERI Board of Directors has created the honorary designation of RERI Fellows:

  • To recognize outstanding contribution to RERI and to encourage ongoing connection between academic and industry researchers who have served on RERI boards in the past;


  • To recognize the deep pool of expertise that resides in the RERI Fellows;


  • To encourage senior researchers to embrace RERI's redirected emphasis on nurturing the up-and-coming next generation of real estate researchers.
Criteria for academic fellows is based on previous activity with RERI which is primarily determined from the number of times an individual had been funded for papers. The extent of past participation in RERI is also considered.

The designation has no term or expiration date.

Below is a list of the current RERI Fellows. RERI will, in time, grow the list to reflect all of the many deserving individuals who have been part of RERI.
