Steve Gebbing
PHOENIX,  AZ—Institutional Property Advisors (IPA), a division of Marcus & Millichap Real Estate Investment Services, is pleased to announce the expansion of its national team of senior advisors with the addition of Steve Gebing, according to Brian Murdy, national director of IPA.

            Gebing has been a leading broker of major multifamily properties with Marcus & Millichap for more than seven years, completing over $532 million in transactions in the last two years.

Gebing’s clients include some of the nation’s largest institutional and major private multifamily investors. As a senior director, he will be responsible for IPA’s Arizona office.

“We are excited to have Steve join IPA,” says Murdy. “He will continue building our presence in serving the robust Arizona markets and Nevada as well.”

Gebing and his business partner, Cliff David, a Marcus & Millichap vice president investments, are one of the strongest investment sales teams in Arizona.

David will remain focused on the private client segment of the market while Gebing will focus on serving the needs of institutional clients through the IPA division.   Gebing and David will be located in IPA’s Phoenix office along with Peter Katz, whose primary responsibility is overseeing student housing for IPA nationally.

“The addition of Steve to our team is an important part of our strategic plan to provide comprehensive and integrated investment advisory services to major apartment investors through an expanding national collaborative platform,” says Hessam Nadji, Marcus & Millichap’s chief strategy officer.

Gebing joined Marcus & Millichap in 2006 as an associate in the firm’s Phoenix office, rising to vice president investments in July 2012. Gebing has earned three national achievement awards and three sales recognition awards.

Prior to joining Marcus & Millichap, Gebing spent nearly seven years working for IBM, where he served as the worldwide sales and marketing manager for IBM’s emerging storage virtualization software.

In this role, Gebing had responsibility for identifying new market opportunities, coordinating go-to-market activities, as well as developing, communicating and strengthening the portfolio's value proposition. 

Since its introduction, IPA’s sales volume of major apartments has nearly doubled, positioning IPA/Marcus & Millichap among Real Estate Alert’s top five institutional apartment brokers nationally.

 In October 2013, the firm expanded its services by introducing IPA Capital Markets, which works in an integrated fashion with the firm’s investment sales advisors to provide institutions and major private investors with a full range of financing services from a global suite of capital providers.
