With 20-plus years of experience, Steven Medwin took on in October the role of managing director for Jones Lang LaSalle, a global financial and professional services firm specializing in commercial real estate services and investment management.

In this position, Mr. Medwin manages a team of 23 industrial and office brokers in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties.  

Although he continues to work as a broker, putting together complex deals, he is also coaching and supporting team members, as the company looks to grow its presence in South Florida.

Jones Lang’s collaborative company culture was a big reason for him to join the firm a year ago.  

Now, as the company looks to expand, it’s searching for seasoned and promising brokers that would fit well in its culture.

“It’s really taking that culture and finding the people that match, that can live in that environment because the brokerage business is a dog-eat-dog business,” he said, “ and to find the personality of somebody who can, who’s willing to partner up, share information and be a team player is really what we’re about.”

Mr. Medwin discussed his new position, the market and his goals with Miami Today reporter Yudislaidy Fernandez in his Brickell office.
