IPA Progression of a Legendary Brand

The Progression of a Legendary Brand

Our roots stretch back to 1971, when our founders, George Marcus and William Millichap, revolutionized the commercial real estate brokerage industry with a business model dedicated to maximizing value for investors. With this core principle as our guiding light, our team of forward-thinking investment advisors and our collaborative approach enables us to produce industry-leading results, year after year. 

IPA sits at the nexus of institutional and high-net-worth investors, utilizing the vast network of Marcus & Millichap to provide the best commercial real estate services and opportunities for deal flow.

With more than 80 offices across North America and five decades of experience to draw on, we help our clients manage risk and craft strategies with a proven model that is ever evolving. Every transaction informs the future and we use knowledge gained to further guide and improve our investment real estate brokerage services.

Investment Sales

Our history of longstanding relationships with major private and institutional investors has granted us the unique ability to tap into pools of capital that are largely unavailable elsewhere. We operate as part of an expansive network that collaborates across geographic boundaries and product types. This unique infrastructure provides access to all investor profiles and drives value by tapping every resource. The extraordinary growth in the commercial real estate industry in recent years has greatly increased the numbers of transactions and emerging capital sources. More than ever before, investors continue to shift strategies and diversify portfolios. Our breadth of experience across the investment spectrum enables us to anticipate and take advantage of these changes.

We continuously monitor and report on a wide range of economic, geographic, demographic and commercial real estate indicators, keeping clients abreast of investor demand, pricing, and yields while providing forecasts for future opportunities.
