Chase Gaiefsky

Chase Gaiefsky serves as a Part-time Adjunct Professor in Nova Southeastern University's Department of Philanthropy/Public Administration/Real Estate while holding a concurrent executive role as VP of Acquisitions and Development at Kenco Communities. With over five years of teaching experience, he bridges academic theory with active South Florida land development practice across Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties.

His academic credentials include:

• M.S. in Real Estate Development from Nova Southeastern University
• B.S. in Business Administration from Nova Southeastern University

Gaiefsky's expertise centers on transactional real estate disciplines where academic instruction meets industry execution. His courses REE 3301 (Real Estate Principles, Practices, and Law) and REE 4312 (Construction Cost Estimating) integrate live deal analysis from Kenco Communities, emphasizing financial underwriting, contract negotiation, and residential development workflows. This practitioner-focused approach provides students with actionable skills for land acquisition and development careers.

While maintaining his primary industry role at Kenco, Gaiefsky leverages his $200M+ pipeline management experience at Lennar and D.R. Horton to contextualize classroom learning. His professional network offers students direct exposure to major residential developers, though formal research mentorship or graduate advising isn't part of his part-time academic appointment.
