Robert Bender

Rob was recruited by Marcus & Millichap right out of the University of Michigan nearly 20 years ago and have never looked back. As a young man, and in his first years as an advisor and broker he was lucky enough to identify the net lease and retail sector as one in which lent itself well to the new “style” of real estate brokerage. The internet was changing the way everything worked! He knew that in order to have long term success one would have to blend the old and new ways of doing business. Having earned numerous, national sales awards in his earliest years at the largest investment brokerage house in the nation he was blessed with an unexpected level of success. The lessons he learned from those early days and a strong commitment to doing what he said he would do has led him to where he is today and as one of the founders of Fortis Net Lease. In 2009, during the worst financial crisis in a generation, Doug Passon, his brother, Bryan Bender and he decided to change the way they assisted our clients in meeting their investment goals. How? By taking a risk, leaving a very comfortable nest and starting a new brokerage company that put their client’s needs first, before theirs and before the company’s. “Clients first” has been and will always be their mantra. Five billion dollars in investment sales later, he attributes hard work, commitment, focus and incredible support from the wonderful team here at Fortis not to his success but to our success and the success of their many, many repeat clients.
