Each year, Midwest Real Estate News inducts a new class into its Commercial Real Estate Hall of Fame. Here is a look at the busy career of one of these new inductees, Joseph Hill, executive vice president with the St. Louis office of Colliers.
Leveraging nearly two decades of experience in the business, Colliers Executive Vice President Joseph Hill leads the Colliers St. Louis Investment Advisory Team, which provides a variety of commercial real estate services to meet clients’ needs. Combining a wealth of commercial real estate experience in valuation, appraisal, leasing and investment sales, Hill and his team take a comprehensive advisory approach to maximize the performance of their clients’ investments throughout the asset lifecycle.
Working with clients ranging from single property owners and banks to large REITS and Fortune 100 companies, Hill has completed assignments on all asset types and has developed strong relationships throughout the United States. Having completed over $1 billion in transactions comprising millions in square feet, Hill has been named Colliers St. Louis’ perennial Top Producer, and his dedications to service excellence and client relationships regularly earns him a spot in the Everest Club, Colliers’ award for the top 10% of brokerage, valuation and corporate solutions professionals in the U.S. based on revenue production.
Prior to joining Colliers, Hill was a Director at Gateway Commercial, an affiliate of Cushman & Wakefield in St. Louis, after focusing on user/occupier services at Block Hawley Commercial Real Estate, commercial real estate brokerage at Coldwell Banker Commercial, and appraisal/valuation services at R.A. Buckles and Associates. It’s this multifaceted experience that has contributed to his success today, but he’s faced plenty of challenges along the way.
“2008 to 2010 was tough,” Hill said. “There was almost nothing going, and I had to get creative to make a living in CRE by doing appraisal work, which turned out to be a valuable experience.”
And his favorite part of the business? Developing a unique expertise to help people achieve their goals.
Hill is a Certified Commercial Investment Member (CCIM) and a member of the Society of Industrial and Office Realtors (SIOR), the National Association of Realtors, the St. Louis Association of Realtors and the U.S. Green Building Council.
Outside of his work with Colliers, Hill is a past nationally ranked competitive road cyclist, and still enjoys all things outdoors. He currently volunteers with his family at Brothers Big Sisters of Eastern Missouri.
