Grubb & Ellis Plucks Five From Marcus & Millichap Nest

DALLAS-Marcus & Millichap president and CEO Harvey E. Green says it’s all just part of the high-rolling synergy of the brokerage game that has cost his Dallas Multi Housing Group five key players.

The group has jumped to Grubb & Ellis Co.’s Dallas-Ft. Worth office, taking with them a combined experience of about 40 years in the industry. Mike Burch, an 18-year broker with Marcus & Millichap, is now a vice president for his former competitor as is Peter Hartnett and Sam Lewis. Hartnett had been with Marcus & Millichap for about eight years and Lewis, better than a decade. Also now part of the Grubb & Ellis multifamily team are new associates Brent Boone and Carrie Holland, former agent associate and research director, respectively, at Marcus & Millichap.

“Good brokers are always trying to transcend themselves into principals,” Green explains to GlobeSt.com. “What’s more important is it is a compliment to these individuals that other firms are interested in them.”
