Offerd, the next generation of commercial real estate brokerage powered by data, technology, and AI, today announced that Jennifer J. “Jen” Hill has joined the company as Corporate Advisor. A veteran of corporate and structured finance with nearly three decades of experience, Hill will advise Offerd on strategy, M&A, capital markets readiness, and platform-scale operations.
Hill is the Founding Principal of Jolly Capital Group, a boutique advisory and investment firm focused on corporate strategy, real estate portfolio optimization, and transaction execution. She brings a distinguished track record in driving sustainable revenue and margin growth, leading complex transactions, and delivering transformative value across industries and stages – from seed to scale.
Previously, Hill served at JLL in leadership roles including Global Head of Strategy and M&A Execution for the firm’s Real Estate Management Services segment. There, she helped drive a 10.9% CAGR in revenue and 20.2% CAGR in adjusted EBITDA from 2021–2024, orchestrated 225+ M&A due diligence reviews, and led acquisitions and partnerships spanning technical services, renewable energy, smart building platforms, and sustainability. She was instrumental in the launch of the firm’s Integrated Portfolio Services model – encompassing real estate transactions, business intelligence, and advisory services – as well as the Public Institutions division. Earlier, as Principal Advisor to the U.S. Army, she performed portfolio management for a $17.0B privatized housing portfolio, advised on $8.0B in debt financings, and provided real estate and financing services for 120+ MW of renewable energy transactions – establishing portfolio management and reporting frameworks later adopted across the U.S. Department of Defense.
“Jen is an elite strategist and operator whose career sits at the intersection of real estate, technology, and scaled execution,” said Travis Farese, Founder and CEO of Offerd. “Her experience leading high-impact M&A, standing up growth programs, and partnering with institutional stakeholders will be invaluable as we continue to build the most agent-empowering brokerage in commercial real estate.”
Hill’s advisory and transaction leadership spans global clients and institutions including the U.S. Army, JPMC, HSBC, and the State of Queensland, Australia, across real estate, energy, and infrastructure portfolios. Through Jolly Capital Group, she also invests in early-stage companies such as Certa.ai, GrubMarket, Aunt Flow, and ID.me, with a focus on AI-enabled and category-transforming models, alongside real estate and venture funds.
“As a life-long real estate professional, I’m thrilled to support Offerd, which is poised to disrupt our industry with a tech-forward platform that aligns economics, intelligence, and ownership for brokers in a highly scalable model,” said Jen Hill. “Offerd’s vision – combining proprietary data, modern enablement, and institutional rigor – positions the company
to lead the next era of brokerage.”
Hill holds an MBA in Finance from The Wharton School, a BA in Mathematics from Dartmouth College, and a Certificate in Corporate Governance from Wharton. She is a Maryland Real Estate Salesperson, holds certificates from the Transaction Advisors Institute, serves on the Maryland Transportation Commission, and supports multiple community organizations.
