Robert L. Colwell

Top Notch Office Staff And Agents

Robert began his career as an attorney where he practiced in both California and Minnesota. After several years of law, Robert made the switch to real estate and began at Garfield Clark & Associates where he stayed for seven
years. While at Garfield Clark, among the many clients Robert represented was Centex Multi-Family Communities. Robert was instrumental in the purchase of Upper Landing in St. Paul for Centex.

Having lived for several years in California, Robert was quite familiar with Marcus & Millichap and became friends with many of the agents in the San Francisco office. Thus, in January 2006 upon learning that Marcus & Millichap was to open an office in Minnesota, Robert became one of the first people hired for the new Twin Cities office. While at Marcus, Robert built a
large database of apartment owners throughout the Twin Cities area. Robert closed nearly $40 million in real estate sales throughout his time at Marcus & Millichap.

Having gained significant training and experience throughout his time at Marcus, Robert felt it was time to leave and to join forces with William Cullen, who was also at one time a Marcus agent. After several meetings with area brokerage firms, Robert and Bill felt it would be most beneficial to work as a solo partnership rather than join another large firm. Relying on their significant contacts and expertise, Bill and Robert are well on their way to making WilliamRobert Apartment Advisors the number one apartment brokerage firm in the Twin Cities. Robert has a J.D. from Pepperdine University School of Law and a B.S. in
Marketing from Arizona State University.
