Real Estate 2023: ROBB ‘R.J.’ JOHNSON

EXECUTIVE MANAGING DIRECTOR, BROKERAGE, AND MANAGER, MID-ATLANTIC REGION, JLL, TYSONS

Published August 30, 2023 by Virginia Business

With 30-plus years of industry experience, Johnson worked with The Staubach Co. beginning in 1995, ultimately serving as president for the mid-Atlantic region until it merged with Fortune Global 500 commercial real estate company JLL
in 2008. 

Johnson has served JLL clients from offices in Delaware, Maryland, Virginia and Washington, D.C., for the past 15 years. In 2022, JLL moved its Northern Virginia office to McLean from Vienna.

A University of Maryland graduate, Johnson has a bachelor’s degree in political science and a master’s degree in international development.

HOBBY/PASSION: My hobby, what some might call an obsession, is collecting wine.

MOST REWARDING CAREER EXPERIENCE: My greatest passion is mentorship and education. Through my work with JLLU, the comprehensive training course we provide for new brokers, I have had the opportunity to shape the curriculum for younger generations. I am in a position now to help shepherd the careers of younger brokers, and that is the most rewarding part of my career.
