Marcus & Millichap was founded as an evolving business platform that would not only stand out in the real estate industry, but change it. This vision was the basis for the unique architecture of the firm’s real estate business models and has grown into distinct bonds between our companies and the people who define them. The individual links that form these bonds are a passion for excellence, uncompromising professional standards and uncommon loyalty – the foundation of the Marcus & Millichap culture. Our companies have transformed many aspects of the real estate business because our people are empowered, encouraged and rewarded for transforming their companies.
Our business models are strictly specialized to assure long-term leadership driven by having the highest level of category expertise. Our companies are proactively engineered with the agility and flexibility to evolve. They achieve long-term success by anticipating change at the macro level and evaluating emerging trends within their specialty sector and market area. Growing through change is more than a goal; it is a hallmark of our companies.
We support our companies in the development of a long-term business strategy, leading-edge business systems and a best-in-class team. Far more important than financial capital is our investment in each company's success through sharing experience, developing intellectual capital and cultivating a wide range of industry relationships. We nurture, challenge and support our leaders to exceed their own best as they in turn continually lead their people to new heights.
The driving mission of each of our companies is long-term leadership through perpetual reinvention and strategic expansion. Our companies are chartered to evolve and improve regardless of their size, market position and financial success. Marcus & Millichap will also grow through mergers and acquisitions with synergistic companies and groups who share our vision of long-term market leadership.
Inspired by the boundless opportunities within the world of real estate, Marcus & Millichap will continue to introduce, support and grow new business concepts, practices and innovations.
Marcus & Millichap Company was founded on the belief that exceptional human capital is the driving force behind business innovation. The connection between colleagues, financial partners, clients and communities is as vital to success as the business model. From the unique bond and partnership between our co-founders George M. Marcus and William A. Millichap that endures to this day, to the countless executives and partners that began their fledgling careers as entry-level employees within our companies, a sense of family is the foundation of our success. And the Marcus & Millichap family is growing stronger and more diverse each day.
Throughout its nearly 40 years in the real estate business, Marcus & Millichap has fostered a distinct corporate culture that blends an undeniable entrepreneurial spirit and competitive drive with a focus on professionalism, integrity, accountability and results. We strive to out perform our own potential as the ultimate benchmark of success, while focusing externally on being the leading organization in each category of real estate we operate in.
Above all, our culture is defined by the flexibility to match individuals’ strengths with business opportunities. This is why numerous business initiatives and some of our companies were conceived around the talent and career desires of our people. Rewarding exceptional performance is another cornerstone of our culture. We have a tradition of recognizing and rewarding individuals beyond just short-term financial results which at times are not indicative of above-and-beyond results against adverse market conditions and business challenges.
A Culture Defined by Loyalty and Integrity
Simply stated, our culture cultivates a tight-knit community of achievers and leaders. If a true test of a strong culture is the natural way in which mutual loyalty emerges between people and companies, then we proudly passed it long ago.
