The Williams Industrial Group
We are a full service commercial real estate investment sales & advisory group of Marcus & Millichap (NYSE: MMI).
Our cutting-edge philosophy is to work hyper-specialized product types of industrial real estate on a national level. Our strategy of narrowing the focus of each team member to a very specific definition of product such as Fiber Lit Industrial or Cold Storage addresses the clear fact that buyers are most likely not local but more regional, national or even international.
Typically, real estate agents work general product types such as “all industrial” or “all office” in a local market (often times these same agents break up their day by trying to provide both sales and leasing services). This has led to the rise of the “generalist” local agent, someone who is adequate at leasing, property management, and sales. While this and a solid grasp of the local market is adequate, it’s not always enough. Buyers and sellers of specialized product types are more sophisticated, requiring a greater level of service that we offer.
Our team members’ unique level of product specific knowledge allows us to speak the language of the owners and operators, provide you unparalleled real estate services, and assess a more accurate value of complex improvements.
