Marcus & Millichap Hires Joseph French, One of Nation’s Top Retail Specialists; Thomas C. Dalzell, Schuyler Boylan and Amie Segel also join as associates.

  

  NEW YORK, NY – Marcus & Millichap Real Estate Investment Services, the nation’s largest real estate investment services firm, has hired Joseph C. French Jr., (top right photo) CCIM and his team of investment specialists, according to J.D. Parker (middle left  photo), vice president and regional manager of the firm’s Manhattan and New Haven offices.

French will serve as a senior director of its National Retail Group (NRG).

 Prior to joining Marcus & Millichap, French was one of the top-producing agents at commercial real estate brokerage firm Sperry Van Ness, where he specialized in retail property sales.

“Joe has an outstanding track record of success and his expertise will be a tremendous asset to Marcus & Millichap,” Parker says. “Joe is one of the most respected brokers in the New York region. Therefore, it was a natural fit for him to join the top investment brokerage firm in the country – Marcus & Millichap.”

In his new post, French will continue to focus on multi- and single-tenant retail investment sales on behalf of institutional and private investors.

 French brings more than 25 years of experience in the real estate industry to his new position. Before joining Sperry Van Ness, he was a senior vice president of investment sales for the Hutensky Group. He was also an integral part of prominent real estate firms Landau & Heyman, Brandenberg Realty and C.S. Brown Associates.

“In order to provide superior service to my investor clients who transact business well beyond the Tri-State Area, I decided to join Marcus & Millichap,” says French.

“The firm has unparalleled access to a nationwide pool of private, institutional and 1031 exchange capital. Also, the company’s commitment to expanding its market share in the retail brokerage sector in a still unstable economy was very appealing. To be part of this exciting growth, particularly east of the Mississippi River where the bulk of my team’s transactions close, was a welcome opportunity.”

 French received his bachelor’s degree from Southern Illinois University and a real estate professional diploma from New York University.

French sits on the board of directors of the Afro American Real Estate Professionals, the Real Estate Associates Program (REAP) and Habitat for Humanity of Westchester.  He is also a member of the International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC) and the Real Estate Board of New York (REBNY).

Also joining French as associates of Marcus & Millichap are Thomas C. Dalzell, Schuyler Boylan and Amie Segel. Combined, the new agents have more than 60 years of real estate investment sales experience.
