NAIOP San Francisco Bay Area is proud to recognize the 2025 recipients of the ARGUS Certification Scholarship, a program that supports emerging professionals from underrepresented backgrounds in gaining vital skills in financial modeling and real estate analysis.

This month, we are featuring Vladislav Prisacaru. Vladislav is a senior at the University of California, San Diego, majoring in Real Estate and Development with a minor in Finance. This summer, he interned with First Washington Realty, where he supported leasing and investment activities across the firm’s retail real estate portfolio. After graduation, he hoped to begin his career in commercial real estate as an analyst in brokerage or acquisitions. Originally from Moldova, Vlad brought a global perspective and a strong interest in how real estate can shape communities and enhance quality of life through inclusive development. He was excited about the opportunity to learn ARGUS and looked forward to joining the NAIOP San Francisco Bay Area chapter to connect with like-minded professionals in the industry.

NAIOP SFBA is honored to welcome Brandy Buttram to the Board of Directors. A dedicated leader with a passion for building community in commercial real estate, Brandy has long been an active force within the chapter. From her time in our Young Professionals Group (YPG) Program to her continued involvement as an advisor, committee member, and Commercial Real Estate Alliance for Tomorrow’s Employees (CREATE) partner, she brings both experience and heart to her new role.
