PORTLAND, OR – Institutional Property Advisors (IPA), a division of Marcus & Millichap, Inc. specializing in serving institutional and major private investors, is pleased to announce the addition of IPA Portland to its national platform, according to Brian T. Murdy, IPA’s national director.

Oregon native Elizabeth Davis, an industry veteran with more than 20 years of experience working with local and national institutional clients, will lead IPA Portland as director.

            “Elizabeth’s brokerage experience with some of the industry’s most prominent institutional investors and her goals for expanding her practice make her a strong fit to lead IPA’s expansion in the Pacific Northwest,” says Murdy. 

“Portland has emerged as a favorable market and many of our national clients either have a presence in the market or are interested in expanding there.  Elizabeth’s market knowledge and experience will be of great value in servicing IPA clients.”

            “Joining IPA gives me the opportunity to provide my major private and institutional clients with IPA’s industry-leading market research, national property marketing platform and access to both institutional and private capital buyers, a segment that Marcus & Millichap dominates,” says Davis.

“The strength of working with the IPA market-dominant teams across the country, and particularly on the West Coast, will bring an unparalleled brokerage platform to the region,” Davis continues. “I’m thrilled to bring IPA’s value-added platform to my clients in the Pacific Northwest.”
