Harvey Green, President & CEO, Marcus & Millichap
 
Soon after Harvey Green was named president and CEO of Marcus & Millichap, he proclaimed that his mission would be to make it “the premier investment brokerage firm in the universe.” To what end has he achieved this goal? Green will disclose answers during the “Inside the Real Estate Mind” segment of the conference. For the one-on-one discussion covering the intersection of real estate, business and life in general, he will sit down with Michael Desiato, Editor in Chief of Real Estate Forum, and talk candidly about the highs and lows of his 34-year career in real estate, his nose-to-the-grindstone work ethic and how he sees apartment market performance in the coming months. Also up for discussion will be the trend of apartment building sellers investing proceeds in other property types or outside the market, how and why Green implemented Marcus & Millichap’s investment real estate training program, and a behind-the-scenes look at the inner workings of some of the company’s biggest, most recent apartment complex deals.
