Conference Speakers

Jef Conn, CCIM, SIOR

Jef Conn has spent the last 19 years navigating the wild world of commercial real estate — which means he’s negotiated deals, survived economic cycles, and somehow still answers his phone after hearing the words, “I’ve got a quick question about a lease.”

Jef Conn is an office and industrial broker, investor, and developer of industrial parks… which is a fancy way of saying he not only sells warehouses — he occasionally builds them too, just in case there weren’t enough spreadsheets in his life already.

Jef has served as President and Chairman of Texas Realtors, and currently serves as the NAR Liaison for Commercial and Industry Specialties with National Association of REALTORS®. So if you’ve ever wondered who voluntarily attends meetings about meetings concerning policy discussions… you’re looking at him.

Over nearly two decades in the business, Jef has built a reputation for leadership, creativity, and knowing more about industrial parks than any human probably should. He’s passionate about commercial real estate, economic development, and helping others grow their business… while also proving that you can be highly professional and still have a personality.
