Prepare for the relevant analyst or internship team while distinguishing current programme information from older interview accounts.
By the Game Assessment Prep research teamUpdated September 14, 2026How we research
No game lineup is documented well enough to map to a simulator. A reported HireVue interview is evidence about an interview platform, not evidence of HireVue games. Put your initial effort into explaining real estate reasoning and your own experience.
A strong application should connect the work of a real estate investment bank with the work you can contribute. Treat the city, team and programme as meaningful choices: the best example for a property underwriting role may differ from one for corporate advisory.
The current website identifies the business as Eastdil Secured Savills following completion of its acquisition by Savills. Older recruiting accounts retain the Eastdil Secured name and can still provide context, but should not be read as a newly published selection policy.
The official homepage describes the completed Savills acquisition and the combined business’s expanded capital-markets and advisory capabilities. Use the current Eastdil Secured Savills name when researching the firm; keep the programme’s own recruitment instructions as the source for selection requirements.
The current analyst page links separately to the 2027 U.S. and London programmes. It describes working on commercial real estate transactions with continuing feedback and development, but does not provide an assessment-stage diagram.
The internship page likewise separates U.S. and London application links. It describes exposure to underwriting, different assets and transaction types. This supports preparation for commercial real estate work without implying identical entry criteria or interviews in both regions.
The official careers page seeks strong analytical and interpersonal skills and describes a collaborative team. Preparation should therefore show both how you reason and how you communicate that reasoning to other people.
The employer’s 2027 U.S. description, published by the University of Maryland, includes financial modeling, Excel, property research and written communication. It also distinguishes generalist opportunities from particular New York and San Francisco teams. These are job requirements, not a published testing syllabus.

A June 2026 New York analyst and a January 2025 New York intern both reported HireVue interviews. These anonymous accounts do not establish the 2027 process or any games.

An October 2025 Atlanta analyst account described increasingly technical calls before a possible superday. A Los Angeles intern that month reported online team conversations. Neither account establishes a fixed company-wide sequence.

The official programme pages reviewed do not establish a mandatory company-wide test provider, game set, cutoff or retake rule. A candidate’s mention of an unspecified assessment is not enough to identify its contents.

The official careers page distinguishes student training routes from experienced-professional opportunities. It describes the people and skills sought, rather than a universal sequence of tests.
As reviewed on September 14, 2026, the official programme pages link to 2027 recruitment. A programme start date is separate from an application or assessment deadline.
| Cycle | Application dates | Likely assessment window | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2027 U.S. analyst recruitment | The Maryland listing expires October 1, 2026; verify the employer posting | Given in the invitation | Single source The university-hosted employer listing gives an August 9, 2027 programme start. Its campus listing expiry should not be treated as a guaranteed company-wide cutoff. Source: University of Maryland SmithCareers — 2027 U.S. Analyst Program |
| 2027 U.S. and London internships | Check the regional application listing | Not specified on the programme overview | Official source The official internship overview showed both regional application links as open when reviewed. It did not publish a common closing date or selection timetable. |
The exercises below are independent practice suggestions, not claimed Eastdil questions or required tests. Use a simple model and a clear explanation before moving to unnecessary complexity.
Choose a familiar property type and describe its tenants, income drivers, operating costs and main risks. Show which assumptions are evidence-based and which are estimates. End with one additional fact you would need before recommending a transaction.
Practice a small cash-flow model and explain how changing occupancy, rent growth, financing or an exit assumption affects the result. Check that units, dates and formulas are consistent. This develops useful reasoning without assuming that a spreadsheet test is scheduled.
Use two recent public sources to form a view on a local property market. Separate an observed change from your explanation for it, then consider a plausible alternative. Practice presenting the conclusion in one minute without relying on memorized headlines.
Select an example where accuracy, a deadline and another person’s work depended on you. Explain how you checked your work, communicated uncertainty and responded to feedback. Be clear about your personal contribution and what the result taught you.
The current official site says the acquisition has completed and uses Eastdil Secured Savills. Older candidate reviews commonly retain the earlier name.
Some dated New York candidate reports name it for interviews. That does not establish a universal current platform or any game assessment; the invitation for your application controls.
No. The published U.S. analyst role requires relevant skills, but a job requirement is not confirmation of a selection exercise. Practicing a small model is useful preparation for explaining your analytical approach.
The employer publishes separate regional application links. Review the appropriate listing and do not transfer eligibility rules, deadlines or candidate-reported stages between them.
