A 10-person team including LMI Capital Principals Brandon Brown and Jamie Mullin will join the Marcus & Millichap Capital Corp. division, according to the source.

"Finding a like-minded platform with the financial power to help LMI grow was extremely important to us, and we believe we have found a perfectly aligned partner in [Marcus & Millichap]," Mullin said. "We look forward to contributing to [the company’s] continued growth and success.”
