Robert Manekin

Managing Director @JLL

Baltimore, MD, US

On January 1, 2021, I started my 6th year at JLL, undoubtedly the longest tenure at any company since leaving the family business in 1992 (check out my experience and you shall see). I am at JLL - well beyond a sane retirement age for brokers - for several reasons. First, I like what I do and the people I do it with. Second, JLL has supported my passion for training. And third, working at a dynamic company with great people who support your efforts is my idea of a good time. My nickname at JLL is \"The Professor\". Last year, in the MidAtlantic Region alone, we conducted more than 210 hours of training for literally hundreds of brokers who spent nearly collective hours improving their skills and - to a certain extent - their lives. Now that is what gets me out of bed in the morning.Well, and an occasional deal as well. That always puts pep in my step. Representing clients like Hopkins, T. Rowe Price, Mercy Medical System and several leading professional services firms is my idea of a good time.So I am still living the dream, even though it si the pandemic dream. Hope you are too!
