Prior to founding The JRICH, Jason and I built our careers representing the interests of tenants and space users—primarily large corporate organizations. We regularly worked with CEOs, CFOs, COOs, CHROs, and frequently presented to public company boards. This access provided us with a rare, front-row seat into how large companies operate, make decisions, and think strategically about growth. We also negotiated some of the country’s largest and most complex commercial leases, working across the table from many of the world’s most sophisticated landlords and negotiators. These experiences shaped our understanding of how high-stakes real estate decisions are made and what it takes to secure favorable outcomes.
It was always drilled into us: serve others, help others. That’s the approach we take. We didn’t have everything handed to us — we had to scratch our way to get opportunities — and almost everyone I know from Loras has done extremely well because of hard work.
– Richard Schulz, President – JRICH
We established The JRICH with a clear mission: to bring the same level of strategic insight, disciplined process, and negotiation strength, typically reserved for large corporations, to small and mid-sized businesses. We recognized a gap in the market—seasoned, high-performing brokers tend to focus on major corporate users. Smaller companies are often left working with junior brokers who lack the depth of experience needed for optimal results. Our mission has always been to level the playing field. At The J. Rich Company, we deliver enterprise-level expertise to the businesses that need it most, ensuring small and mid-sized organizations can make informed, strategic real estate decisions with the same advantages enjoyed by the world’s largest companies.
