Gladys Manion Welcomes New Interns!

An internship at Gladys Manion Real Estate allows students to uncover their passions in real estate, marketing, and building productive relationships. For the past 20 years, Gladys Manion has offered internships to students in the St. Louis area. This year, three interns have joined: Massimo Seifarth, Eliana Brook, and Adam Sutter. Each of them hopes to gain new experiences in a professional real estate environment.

In his free time, Massimo helps to manage four investment properties, fixing little problems and managing renovations. He says, “Everyone at Gladys Manion has been very nice and open to explaining any questions I may have. I have learned a lot and will definitely be doing something in real estate in my future.”
