NYSE: MMI

We divide commercial real estate into four major markets, characterized by price in order to understand trends in our revenue from period to period:

•Properties priced less than $1 million;

•Private client market: properties priced from $1 million to up to but less than $10 million;

•Middle market: properties priced from $10 million to up to but less than $20 million; and

•Larger transaction market: properties priced from $20 million and above.

We serve clients with one property, multiple properties and large investment portfolios. The largest group of investors we serve typically transacts in the $1 million to $10 million private client market. The investment brokerage and financing professionals serving private clients within the private client market represent the largest part of our business, which differentiates us from our competitors. In 2025, approximately 64% of our brokerage commissions came from this market. Properties in this market are characterized by higher asset turnover rates due to the type of investor as compared to other markets. Private clients are often motivated to buy, sell and/or refinance properties not only for business reasons but also due to personal circumstances, such as death, divorce, taxes, changes in partnership structures and other personal or financial circumstances. Therefore, private client investors are influenced less by the macroeconomic trends than other large-scale investors, making the private client market less volatile over the long term than other markets. Accordingly, our business model distinguishes us from our national competitors, who may focus primarily on the more volatile larger transaction and middle markets, or on other business activities such as leasing or property management, and from our local and regional competitors, who lack a broad national platform.

Real Estate Brokerage

Our primary business and source of revenue is the representation of commercial property owners as their exclusive investment broker in the sale of their properties. Our investment sales professionals also represent buyers in fulfilling their investment real estate acquisition needs. Our auction services division offers our clients an accelerated way to buy and sell commercial property as a complement to our traditional property marketing channels. Sales are generated by maintaining relationships with property owners, providing market information and trends to them during their investment or “hold” period, and being selected as their representative when they decide to sell, buy additional property, or exchange their property for another property. We collect commissions upon the sale of each property based on a percentage of sales price.

These commission percentages are typically inversely correlated with sales price and thus are generally higher for smaller transactions.

Financing Services

Marcus & Millichap Capital Corporation (“MMCC”) is a financial intermediary that provides commercial real estate capital markets solutions to commercial real estate owners, developers, and investors. MMCC generates revenue from fees collected from capital placement services including senior debt, mezzanine debt, joint venture, preferred equity, and securitization services. Our financing division provides other services such as loan sales and due diligence, and receives recurring loan performance fees from certain lenders. During 2025, approximately 42% of MMCC’s revenue came from placing acquisition financing, 33% from refinancing activities, and 25% from other financing activities.

MMCC partners with an assortment of capital providers including national and regional banks, credit unions, private equity funds, insurance companies, government agencies, including the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”), the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”), the Federal Housing Administration, conduit lenders, debt funds, hard money lenders, and structured debt facilitators (including preferred equity and mezzanine providers).

In 2021, MMCC entered into a strategic alliance (“Strategic Alliance”) with M&T Realty Capital Corporation (“MTRCC”) enabling MMCC to provide clients with increased access to MTRCC’s affordable and conventional multifamily agency financing through a highly streamlined process with dedicated resources. MTRCC has a Delegated Underwriting and Servicing Agreement (“DUS Agreement”) with Fannie Mae and is an approved lender for Freddie Mac’s Conventional and Targeted Affordable Housing loans.

Other Services

We provide advisory and consulting services designed to assist clients in forming their investment strategy and making transaction decisions. Our advisory and consulting services include opinions of value, operating and financial performance benchmarking analysis, specific asset buy-sell strategies, market and submarket analysis and ranking, portfolio strategies by property type, market strategy, development and redevelopment feasibility studies, and other services. We also provide leasing services for tenants and/or landlords in connection with commercial real estate leases.

Our Competitive Strengths

Research

Our research division produces more than 1,500 publications and client presentations per year and is a leading source of information for the real estate industry as well as the general business media. We provide research on 10 commercial property types covering: multifamily, retail, office, industrial, single-tenant net lease, seniors housing, self-storage, hospitality, medical office, and manufactured housing, as well as capital markets/financing. This research includes analysis and forecasting of the economy, capital markets, real estate fundamentals, investment, pricing, and yield trends. It is designed to assist investors in their strategy formation and decisions relating to specific assets and to help our investment sales and financing professionals develop and maintain relationships with clients.

Our transactional and market research expertise results in significant print, radio, television, and online media coverage including major national real estate publications such as Real Estate Forum, GlobeSt, Multi-Housing News, Commercial Property Executive, Connect CRE, Wealth Management Real Estate, as well as local market business journals and major national news outlets such as CNBC, The Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, Fox Business, Bloomberg Businessweek, Forbes, and numerous newspapers and trade publications in major metropolitan cities. Our CEO is frequently interviewed on national business channels, such as CNBC, Yahoo! Finance, Schwab Network, Fox Business, and Bloomberg to discuss the commercial real estate market.

Integrated National Platform

We underwrite, value, and market properties to reach the largest and most qualified pool of buyers. We offer our clients one of the industry’s largest teams of investment sales and financing sales professionals. The Real Estate Brokerage and Financing Services teams operate side-by-side in our offices providing a fully integrated service offering to our clients. By combining these resources with the latest property and capital markets data and information, we believe we have differentiated ourselves in the marketplace and deliver tailored financial solutions that meet our clients’ investing and

financial objectives. These sales and financing professionals are empowered by our proprietary system, MNet, which enables real-time buyer-seller matching throughout North America. We use a proactive marketing campaign that leverages the investor relationships of our entire sales force, direct marketing and a suite of proprietary web-based tools that connects each asset with the right buyer pool.

Technology

Our proprietary internal marketing system, MNet, allows our investment sales professionals to share listing information with investors across the United States and Canada. MNet is an integrated tool that contains our entire property inventory, allowing our investment sales professionals to find listings with targeted criteria. This system is an essential part of connecting sellers to the largest pool of qualified buyers through our platform. A function of MNet, called Buyer Needs, enables our sales force to register the investment needs of various buyers, which are then matched to our available inventory on a real-time basis.

MNet-Launch, a related application, is a web-based system for automating the production of property marketing materials and launching marketing campaigns. MNet-Launch allows our investment sales professionals to rapidly create professionally branded and designed listing proposals or marketing packages that automatically imports property information, data on comparable properties, and other information from MNet, and then dynamically populates our e-marketing, print, and internet media.

Our website features MyMMI, which allows investors to register for an account and create personalized criteria for inventory, research, and events notifications. Since its launch, over 170,000 visitors have created MyMMI accounts. We actively qualify leads generated from the saved search preferences and share those leads with our agents via our customer relationship management platform. During 2025, our websites averaged approximately 95,000 new visitors per month and approximately 165,000 page views per month and served as a portal for delivery of online marketing materials and deal collaboration.

Intellectual Property

We hold various trademarks and trade names, which include the “Marcus & Millichap” name. We believe our intellectual property plays an important role in maintaining our competitive position in a number of the markets that we serve. With respect to the Marcus & Millichap name, we maintain trademark registrations for these service marks.

In addition to trade names, we have developed proprietary technologies for the provision of real estate investment services, such as MNet, MNet-Launch, and CapNet. We also offer proprietary research to clients through our research division. Given the importance of these proprietary technologies to our business, we seek to secure our rights under applicable intellectual property protection laws in these and any other proprietary assets that we use in our business. The expiration or termination of our trademarks or trade names or the loss of any of our other intellectual property rights including the Marcus & Millichap name may have a material adverse effect on our business.

Human Capital

We recognize that our people are among our most valuable assets, and we are dedicated to cultivating a positive, supportive, and inclusive workplace that promotes the development and well-being of our employees and independent investment sales and financing professionals. Our human capital strategy focuses on attracting, retaining, and nurturing talented individuals that share our Company's priorities, driving long-term value. These initiatives are led by our Chief People Officer, who was appointed in 2024 and continues to oversee these efforts. The Chief People Officer is tasked with overseeing talent acquisition, professional development, compensation, benefits, employee engagement, and organizational culture, while ensuring alignment with our broader business objectives. We are committed to creating an inclusive and safe work environment, offering our employees competitive and comprehensive compensation packages.

Talent Acquisition

We seek to attract top talent by offering competitive salaries and benefits for our employees, along with competitive commission structures and business support for our investment sales and financing professionals. A key aspect of our operating model is that our management team does not compete with our investment sales and financing professionals and instead focuses on supporting their professional development, enhancing technical skills and client service capabilities. In 2025, we appointed a new Senior Director, National Sales Recruiter, and expanded the sales recruiting team to accelerate

the hiring of sales professionals. By providing a supportive environment where professionals can focus on delivering value to clients while advancing their careers, we create a workplace that promotes individual success and organizational excellence. Our established position as the leading broker in the $1 million to $10 million private client market, combined with high transaction volume, further enhances our ability to attract top talent.

Investment Sales and Financing Professionals

Investment sales and financing professionals are the key service providers to our clients. Our investment sales and financing professionals hold applicable real estate sales licenses or other licenses for their functions. We execute “Salespersons Agreements” setting out the relationship between the professional and us. Each investment sales and financing professional is obligated to provide services exclusively to us, and is provided access to our information technology, research, business forms and other support. Each investment sales and financing professional generally reports on their activities to either the local market leader, or in some cases, to product specialty managers. Our investment sales professionals are classified as independent contractors under state and Internal Revenue Service guidelines. As such, we generally do not pay for the professionals’ expenses or benefits or withhold payroll taxes; rather, they are paid from the commissions earned by us upon the closing of a transaction, and these individuals generally do not earn a salary from which taxes are withheld.

Development and Training

As part of our commitment to building a skilled and knowledgeable workforce, we provide substantial support to train and develop our investment sales team and employees. Our National Director of Development and Training is responsible for overseeing the training and development of our investment sales and financing professionals. Additionally, managers in each market offer extensive support through classroom training, coaching, mentoring, workshops, and hands-on guidance. Our managers are seasoned senior investment sales and financing professionals who play a crucial role in developing both new and seasoned talent. Our training programs are further facilitated and supported by Marcus & Millichap University, our learning management system, and other professional development opportunities.

Employees have multiple opportunities for learning and growth, with access to a range of internal, external, virtual, and in-person training programs designed to enhance their leadership, functional, and technical skills. In 2025, we launched several facilitator-led managerial training programs across our footprint to support the development of leaders.

We offer the William A. Millichap Fellowship Program (the "Fellowship Program"), a comprehensive two-year training and development initiative designed to prepare participants for successful careers in commercial real estate. The Fellowship Program also sponsors real estate internships at various universities nationally. We expanded the Fellowship Program from 17 to 22 major U.S. cities in 2025, reinforcing our commitment to cultivating and developing diverse talent. We believe our training, development, and mentoring initiatives not only distinguish us from competitors but also drive superior results for our clients.

We offer a paid summer internship program for college and university students that provides valuable hands-on experience in our industry, allowing participants to contribute to impactful projects and engage with leadership throughout the organization. In 2025, we expanded our internship program by 43%, from 101 to 144 hires, across 37 offices in the U.S. and Canada. The program is committed to promoting an inclusive environment, actively seeking interns from diverse backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives to foster a dynamic and innovative workforce.

To support the development of our leaders, we continue to partner with a global research and workplace consulting advisory company to implement a robust leadership training program for our leaders including our market leaders. This program includes a leadership strengths assessment, and a leadership development program. We also have a variety of training programs available to our employees through Harvard Business Review content and other training resources.

Key Metrics

As of December 31, 2025, we had 854 employees, consisting of 91 employees who serve as financing professionals, 70 employees in communications and marketing, 21 employees in research and 672 employees in management, support and general and administrative functions. A key strategic factor to growing our business is recruiting, hiring, training, and developing investment sales and financing professionals.

As of December 31, 2025, we had 1,808 investment sales and financing professionals, a 5.6% increase compared to December 31, 2024. The increase is attributable to the Company's strategy to invest in talent acquisition and retention.

Market Environment

Seasonality

Our real estate brokerage commissions and financing fees have tended to be seasonal and, combined with other factors, can affect an investor's ability to compare our financial condition and results of operations on a quarter-by-quarter basis. Historically, this seasonality has generally caused our revenue, operating income, net income, and cash flows from operating activities to be lower in the first half of the year and higher in the second half of the year, particularly in the fourth quarter. The concentration of earnings and cash flows in the last six months of the year, particularly in the fourth quarter, is due to an industry-wide focus of clients to complete transactions towards the end of the calendar year. This historical trend can be disrupted both positively and negatively by major economic events, political events or natural disasters. For a more detailed description of our seasonality, refer to Item 1A – “Risk Factors – External Business Risks – Seasonal fluctuations and other market data in the investment real estate industry could adversely affect our business and make comparisons of our quarterly results difficult” and Item 7 – “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Overview – Seasonality” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Competition

We compete in real estate brokerage and financing within the commercial real estate industry on a national, regional, and local basis. Competition is based on a number of critical factors, including the quality and expertise of our investment sales and financing professionals, our execution skills, sales support, brand recognition, and our business reputation. We primarily compete with other brokerage and financing firms that seek investment brokerage and financing business from real estate owners and investors. To a lesser extent, we compete with in-house real estate departments, owners who may transact without using a brokerage firm, direct lenders, consulting firms, and investment managers. Our relative competitive position also varies across geographies, property types, and services. Many of our competitors mainly focus on larger sales and institutional investors and are not heavily concentrated in our largest market, which is the $1 million to $10 million private client market. However, there is crossover and competition between us and these firms. As a result of the fragmentation in the market, there are also numerous local and regional competitors in our markets, as well as competitors specializing in certain property types. Despite recent consolidation, the commercial real estate services industry remains highly fragmented and competitive.

We believe we are uniquely positioned in the commercial marketplace with more than 50 years of experience representing clients in need of commercial real estate services across multiple property types, investor types, and geographic regions, with the ability to grow with our clients and an independent management team that provides training and mentoring opportunities to our sales team.

Competition to attract and retain qualified professionals is also intense in each of our geographic regions and across all property types. We offer what we believe to be competitive compensation and support programs to our professionals. Our ability to continue to compete effectively will depend on retaining, motivating, and appropriately compensating our professionals. For further discussion of our competition in the commercial real estate industry, refer to Item 1A – “Risk Factors – External Business Risks – We have numerous significant competitors and potential future competitors, some of which may have greater resources than we do, and we may not be able to continue to compete effectively.”

Government Regulation

We are subject to various real estate regulations, and we maintain real estate and other broker licenses in 48 states and the District of Columbia in the United States and four provinces in Canada. We are a licensed broker in each state in which we have an office, as well as those states where we frequently do business. We are also subject to numerous other federal, state, and local laws and regulations that contain general standards for, and prohibitions on, the conduct of real estate brokers and sales associates, including agency duties, collection of commissions, telemarketing, advertising, and consumer disclosures. One of our wholly-owned subsidiaries is subject to certain human resource, data security, information technology, and other compliance requirements due to its loan sale and consulting contracts with certain U.S. government agencies.
