Top Broker Honorees: Savills’ Joe Learner and Robert Sevim

Savills’ Joe Learner and Robert Sevim have worked together for more than 15 years and bring over 45 years of combined commercial real estate experience to each client engagement. They’ve earned industry respect for their multimarket expertise, their principled honesty, their tenacious advocacy and their reputation for solving the complex real estate challenges of organizations spanning many geographies and property types.

Learner and Sevim completed 89 deals in 2019, totaling approximately 1.6 million square feet and nearly $426 million in value. Among the most notable was a relocation by the Chicago Federal Home Loan Bank to the Old Post Office redevelopment from its longtime home of Aon Center. Along with expanding to 125,000 square feet, FHLB will benefit from larger floorplates in its new home.
