Each year, Midwest Real Estate News elects a new class to its Commercial Real Estate Hall of Fame. Here is a look at the career of new inductee Alex Blagojevich, executive managing director with MMG Real Estate Advisors in the greater Chicagoland area.
With nearly two decades of experience in the field, Alex Blagojevich has mastered the art of the deal. In a competitive space that has remained largely unchanged, he has garnered a reputation as someone who’s pragmatically innovative, determined and fiercely ambitious.
But perhaps what he’s best known for is his tenacity and ability to think strategically. Alongside MMG Co-Founder Michael Sullivan, Blagojevich has cultivated a company that’s credo and core values are embodied by words like “collaboration,” “passion,” and “teamwork.”
Founded in 2021, MMG Real Estate Advisors was born from a desire to step outside the box and do things differently. The firm has quickly amassed a talented team of advisors with a proven track record of success in more than a hundred markets located across the U.S. It’s here that, with an ability to connect with people on a deeply personal level and a focus on helping others thrive, Blagojevich continues to inform the next generation of emerging talent. When asked about the most enjoyable aspect of the business, Blagojevich said just that: the people.
“Without a doubt, it’s the people—both being in a position to help others, and also having the ability to work with successful people,” he said. “Working with team members on their own professional development is something I’ve always been passionate about, and I really enjoy helping others learn and grow.”
The journey to success has not been easy, but for Blagojevich, it boils down to consistent execution, day in and day out. He said thoughtful annual planning coupled with the continual reinvestment in his own personal development has been essential, as has surrounding himself with people who share the same values.
When he’s not at work, Blagojevich enjoys spending time with his wife, Jessica, and their three children: Jordi (7), Rylee (5) and Tristan (2). He also likes exercising and reading about macroeconomic history and developing mental toughness, two of his favorite topics.
