Professional Background
General Overview
Rob Hill brings a broad range of business as well as commercial real estate experience to his clients at Washington Mutual.  From launching his own business with investor capital, to working in the field of mergers and acquisitions, to serving as Vice President and Program Director of the Yale School of Management's Chief Executive Leadership Institute, Mr. Hill understands business from the businessman's perspective in addition to the complexities of commercial real estate finance.
Business  Management
Mr. Hill served as president and founder of The Historian's Gallery, a private corporation, funded through a Class D stock offering, which functioned as a broker/dealer in historically significant documents and artifacts.  With national and international clients and sources serviced out of 3 Atlanta retail locations, he negotiated complex retail leases with such regional malls as Lenox Square, Perimeter Mall and North Point Mall.  He also initiated, structured and executed intricate syndication transactions as well as co-exhibition agreements with major auction houses including Christie's, Inc.
Through his corporation, he made many historically significant discoveries.  These included such primary source artifacts as Robert E. Lee's famed "lost map of Appomattox" [2][3] that now, along with other "centerpiece exhibition" items that he personally uncovered, are on display in The National Civil War Museum.  He also recruited and led a select team of historians in the authentication and appraisal of a previously unknown private collection that became the foundation of a major new university museum.  In addition he personally sold well over $1 million worth of antiquity to private collectors as well as public and private institutions.
Mergers & Acquisitions
In the field of mergers and acquisitions, Mr. Hill applied his skills and experience representing both buyers and sellers in the mid-market segment of non retail companies valued between $5 million and $100 million, supervising all aspects of each transaction.  As an essential part of these transactions he coordinated the purchase, sale and transfer of corporate real estate and leases.
Yale School Of Management
In the Executive Education department of the Yale School of Management, Hill worked as Vice President and Program Director of the Chief Executive Leadership Institute.  As Program Director he "helped to create and launch" their new, groundbreaking Leadership Exchange & Analysis Program (LEAP) - an individually tailored executive education program for Management Committee level executives from Fortune 500 companies.  In this position he worked directly with the Chief Executive Officers to individually select their participants and design a unique program for each of these high-level executives.
As Vice President, he also conducted and directed all academic research for the Institute, often recruiting and managing teams of 20 or more postgraduate MBA students along with noted scholars and professionals on various projects.
Commercial Real Estate Finance
As Washington Mutual's Senior Loan Consultant for the Metropolitan Atlanta area, Rob is responsible for all commercial term financing between $500,000 and $10,000,000 on stabilized, multi-tenant office, retail, industrial, and mixed-use properties.
As a resident of Atlanta since 1971, Rob has an extensive knowledge of the local business and commercial real estate markets as well as firmly established industry relationships with local Realtors, brokers, builders, developers, and other professionals.
