JLL has welcomed senior director Jamie Smithson and director Conor Welton to its national single-family rental team. Both team members are current members of JLL capital markets and sit in the Atlanta, GA office.

Since joining JLL in 2019, Smithson and Welton have spent the last three years with the firm focusing on land investment advisory. In these roles they have successfully executed $450 million of land transactions that represent $2 billion in total developed market capitalization.

 Both team members will maintain their functions within land advisory, and this new opportunity will serve as an extension of their current roles. Smithson and Welton will concentrate on investment sales both locally and nationally within the SFR team.

Single-family rentals across the Sun Belt have continued to achieve double-digit rent growth year-over-year with the Atlanta market seeing a 12% increase, according to JLL. Photo, l-r: Smithson, Welton
