Founded in 1971, Marcus & Millichap Inc. (formerly Marcus & Millichap Real Estate Investment Services) marked the first initiative of George M. Marcus and William A. Millichap’s pioneering approach to creating a diversified family of companies to service and lead the real estate industry. Since becoming a public company in 2013, the goal remains the same - to go far beyond typical real estate brokerage service offerings and to reinvent the way real estate transactions are facilitated. In the process, we strived to create a new platform that expanded investment choices for the buyer and maximized value for the seller. With nearly 2,000 talented and specialized agents in more than 80 offices across the United States and Canada, Marcus & Millichap is a leading firm specializing in commercial real estate sales, financing, research, and advisory services.
