Real Estate Services Company JLL Adds 3 to Its Dallas-Fort Worth Offices

Dallas-based real estate services giant JLL has added Jayme Schutt, Maggie Georgieva, and Mike Allen to its offices in Dallas-Fort Worth.

The company that Schutt is returning to JLL after her most recent role at Stream Realty Partners. She will serve as senior vice president of workplace strategy in JLL’s Dallas office. Georgieva will be a senior general manager in its Fort Worth office, following nine years with JLL property management in London. Allen, a former assistant vice president with Weitzman, will apply his project leasing experience to JLL’s retail team in Dallas as a vice president, the company said.

Workplace strategist

JLL said that Schutt, a proven workplace strategist and former corporate interior design expert, has rejoined the JLL office tenant representation team in Dallas-Fort Worth, having previously worked with the firm for over two years. Schutt has aided several notable organizations with their workplace strategy decisions during her time with JLL, including Invesco, Haynes Boone, and Tailwater Capital, among others.

“Workplace strategy revolutionizes the way companies approach their real estate needs,” Schutt said. “I have witnessed firsthand JLL’s one-of-a-kind approach to client satisfaction, and I can confidently say there is no better team to be a part of. I am thrilled to be rejoining a firm that is truly set apart in the midst of a very competitive market.”

From London to Fort Worth

Beginning her career with JLL in London as an intern, Georgieva developed skills in prime commercial property and asset management as well as unparalleled customer service and operational excellence, eventually earning her the title of Central London Team Lead for the firm’s property and asset management division.

About her time with JLL in London, Georgieva says one of the most impactful projects she worked on was 22 Bishopsgate, a 1.2 million-square-foot building that she and her team were involved in from inception to completion when they took over management efforts. In Dallas-Fort Worth, she will continue to implement her leadership capabilities as she will oversee a 12-person team to ensure client needs are met across JLL’s expansive portfolio, the company said.

“I have been incredibly fortunate in my time with JLL to be surrounded by remarkable people who desire to help me achieve my goals,” Georgieva said. “Making the choice to stay with the firm, even in a different country, was simple. I have experienced exponential growth during my tenure with JLL in London, and I am looking forward to expanding upon my skill set while working alongside the capable team in Dallas-Fort Worth.”

“Maggie is an outstanding talent acquisition for our property management team here in DFW,” Jennifer Clendening, regional director of Property Management at JLL in Dallas-Fort Worth, Austin and San Antonio. “Her addition signifies a meaningful investment in the growth of our Fort Worth team, specifically, and we are thrilled to have Maggie’s expertise as we continue to expand our presence in the market.”

Leasing expertise

With nearly a decade of experience in leasing and property acquisition, Allen has a long track record in asset-based representation within Dallas-Fort Worth. Having spent the initial part of his career at Weitzman, Allen was drawn to JLL because of its strong team dynamics and collaborative culture.

As vice president in the firm’s Dallas office, Allen will utilize his strategic approach and passion for client success to drive exceptional results for property owners and investors, the company said. Allen will join the retail brokerage team, led by Managing Director Michael Wheat.

“We are excited to welcome Mike Allen to our growing Dallas retail division,” Wheat said. “Mike’s decade-long experience in project leasing and investment sales, and his proven track record in the Dallas–Fort Worth market make him a significant addition to our team. His client-centric approach and dedication to delivering strategic solutions align perfectly with JLL’s mission to provide exceptional service and drive value for our clients.”

For over 200 years, JLL has helped clients buy, build, occupy, manage, and invest in a variety of commercial, industrial, hotel, residential and retail properties.
