Celebrating the remarkable career of Rob Aigner, who retired earlier this year after 18 incredible years at Schnitzer Properties! Last week, a party honored Rob’s immense contributions to our Seattle region. Starting his journey as a runner at Coldwell Banker, Rob’s career soared to great heights as he became a pivotal figure in Seattle’s real estate landscape. His leadership at CBRE and Colliers International set the stage for an exceptional tenure with us at Schnitzer Properties. Under Rob’s guidance, our Seattle region flourished, expanding both in size and impact. Beyond the bricks and mortar, his legacy lives on through the countless team members he mentored and inspired. His dedication to excellence and his deep-rooted commitment to the industry have left an indelible mark on all of us. Reflecting on his journey, Rob shared, “After 24 amazing years in the brokerage management business, I received a call in 2006 from Jordan Schnitzer asking if I would consider coming to work for him, running his Seattle operations. Although I didn’t realize it at the time, it was a phone call that would change my life. After weighing the options, I elected to jump into the world of family-owned private real estate ownership and I have never looked back. The unique opportunity that Jordan presented gave me a chance to reignite my passion for the nuts and bolts of the business. It put me in touch with the heart and soul of the industry—property management—and gave me an appreciation for the complexities and opportunities of dealing with a multi-tenant portfolio.I found myself on a team surrounded by all-stars dedicated to one purpose: always doing what was best for the real estate. It was creative, exciting, and empowering. It brought into sharp focus the importance of tenant-landlord relationships and the ever-changing balancing act between the two. As I look back over the last 18 years, I am proud of all the accomplishments in the Seattle region, but most appreciative of the individuals I had the pleasure of working with. I will miss the relationships and daily interactions with my extraordinary team, but I am gratified to know that the friendships forged along the way will be everlasting.” Rob, your leadership, wisdom, and the relationships you’ve built are invaluable to us. While you may be stepping into retirement, your presence and influence will continue to inspire us. Here’s to your well-deserved future filled with happiness and new adventures! #SchnitzerProperties #CommercialRealEstate #CompanyCulture #RetirementCelebration #SeattleRealEstate #Seattle #SeattleCRE #CRE #WestCoastCRE
