Joseph French Heads to Marcus & Millichap

NEW YORK CITY-Joseph French has decamped Sperry Van Ness for Marcus and Millichap, where he will serve as senior director of its National Retail Group, based in White Plains, NY. French’s Sperry Van Ness office there is effectively being rebranded under the Marcus & Millichap umbrella. He tells GlobeSt.com that he’ll bring along a team of brokers from Sperry Van Ness to the new job.

“I found it to be an exciting opportunity to strengthen the French retail team’s position in the northeast and I felt that our interests are aligned with Marcus & Millichap’s,” the 27-year real estate veteran says. “I also felt that the many tools that Marcus & Millichap has to offer will help us better serve our clients.” Among those tools, he says, is the Marcus & Millichap research department and other predictive tools used to see where the market is headed.
