RECAP: Breakfast of Champions with Ernie Jarvis

Highlights from our conversation with Ernie Jarvis

“Excellence of performance will overcome any artificial barrier created by man”

This is the mantra passed down from his mother that has fueled Ernie Jarvis’s career. In a packed room Wednesday morning, CREBA members assembled for a Breakfast of Champions to learn about the life and career of one of our industry’s best. Through an interview conducted by JLL’s Evan Behr, we heard about Ernie’s journey from residential appraiser, to young tenant broker at Barnes Morris & Pardoe, industry leader at CBRE, a time on the Development side with First Potomac Realty Trust, starting his own firm, Jarvis Commercial Real Estate, to his recent move to leadership at Savills.

As a 5^th generation Washingtonian, Ernie is inspired to give back to the city and community. He detailed his passion for promoting diversity, equity and inclusion within the commercial real estate industry. It is his “guiding principal” and one Savills has committed to support and promote. He’s not all business though! When not making deals, Ernie can be found watching his sons play basketball, out at a black tie-event, or on his boat!

Thanks to all who attended and Hogan Lovells for hosting and providing breakfast.

In 2021 CREBA awarded Ernie Jarvis the prestigious Brendan McCarthy Memorial Award honoring his career and commitment to DEI. Ernie is pictured here with JLL's Evan Behr.

It was standing room only at Wednesday's event! With all his career highlights, Ernie quickly responded “my kids” when asked about his greatest accomplishment.
