Justin Collins joined Jameson Commercial in January 2011. His primary focus is small to mid-market commercial properties in both sales and leasing of loft office, office, specialty office, industrial, warehouse, and flex use types. He also has experience in wide variety of other commercial real estate such as retail, mixed use developments, and vacant land. While the past few years have been tough ones for commercial realtors/brokers in general, Justin has excelled in this environment – closing on over 150 executed leases and sales during that three-year time period. He attributes his success to extremely hard work and diligent follow up with every prospect. Justin has worked with tenants, landlords, buyers, and sellers, so whether its a 1000 SF lease or $4,000,000 transaction, he works with the same passion every day, every deal.
Prior to joining Jameson, Justin spent 4 years with Weichert Realtors where he fine-tuned his market knowledge and marketing skills. His experience before becoming a Realtor includes 11 years working in the commercial insurance industry, specifically, Hartford Insurance (2 years), AIG (4.5 years), and Aon Risk Services (4.5 years) as a broker. Those experiences in the fortune 500 world gave him a tremendous professional foundation which translates very well into commercial real estate.
Justin graduated with honors from the University of Akron with a Bachelors of Science in Accounting and played for the Akron Zips golf team for three years. He’s now married with two young children, a girl and boy, and resides in Roscoe Village on Chicago’s north side. He’s an avid golfer and real estate investor.
