The Uzun Group

The Uzun Group is an experienced, full-service multifamily brokerage team within Marcus & Millichap. Our team´s success is built on over 45 years of private client relationships in commercial real estate. Our mission is to ensure that our clients have peace of mind knowing they are maximizing their success in multifamily investment throughout the Mid-Atlantic region.

Through successful and fulfilling relationships with our valued clients along with a vigorous team work ethic, The Uzun Group closed over 135 transactions valued at over $265.3 million. We are able to connect local and out of area investors while having a local physical presence through our basis of operations in Norfolk, Richmond, Raleigh, Durham and Washington D.C. Approximately 90 percent of our transactions are acquired by out of area capital.

Our group´s passion is helping our clients fulfill their multifamily investment goals because we understand how much is really at stake. We have the opportunity to work with incredible people and with their success in multifamily investments many of our clients not only support themselves, but their families, several employees, charities, non-profits, and their communities. We have the ability to positively affect an incredible amount of people by helping our clients achieve their goals. Our process in advising clients through to their goals involves fully understanding our clients´ and prospective clients´ previous success in multifamily, where they are currently in their progress as multifamily investors, and where they are trying to go. Once we can see where our clients have been and where they presently are, we are able to assist through our team´s advisory brokerage platform in connecting our clients to their progress and future success.

Our Clients Think We’re Great

"My partnership group owned and managed a 20 unit apartment complex that provided consistent operating results since its inception. Although we were pleased with the project's performance, we wanted to test the market by setting an aggressive price target just to see if there would be any interest in our asset. We engaged the Uzun Group to market this property and noticed they were embedded from start to finish, ensuring that maximum value was obtained for this asset. We were pleasantly surprised with how quickly this Group had identified a 1031 buyer - especially given the challenges inherent with the COVID-19 Quarantine.

Although the end objective of selling a property may appear to be straightforward, the process by which this objective is attained can be daunting. The Uzun Group effectively managed this process - especially during contract negotiations, due diligence and closing. Given the quality of this experience, I would highly recommend the Uzun Group to anyone looking to sell their multi-family asset."

William Roach

"Working with The Uzun Group was the best decision we could have made in maximizing our sale proceeds from our 104-unit multifamily asset in Chesapeake, VA. Their systematic approach to procuring multiple offers led to a competitive bid up of our property. The team's tenacious hands on approach coupled with Marcus and Millichap's national exposure proved to be a powerful combination. We look forward to continuing to work with The Uzun Group!"

Cheryl Hereford

"Our relationship with The Uzun Group has been of great value to our multifamily portfolio goals . Through an exclusive listing process, they were able to obtain multiple offers from both local and out of area investors. Due to the activity generated by their systematic marketing, all buyers were pushed to improve upon their initial offers. In the end we were impressed with their ability to reach a record price per unit sale in Norfolk’s most premier residential submarket of Ghent via an international investor. Without any delay, The Uzun Group then executed a seamless 1031 Exchange into a property that matched our acquisition criteria and facilitated the transaction from start to finish. We highly recommend The Uzun Group and will be pleased to do more business with them in the future as we continue to grow our portfolio."

"Since I first came across The Uzun Group of Marcus & Millichap in 2015, they have been able to fully understand my goals as an investor and have helped me pursue these goals with the tenacity that is rare in any multifamily market. They are advisors just as much as they are brokers and together we have been able to reach mutual success time and time again. I can’t see myself working with any other seller representative."

The Uzun Group has played a key part in the early success that EF Capital has had investing in the Hampton Roads region. Altay and Justin individually are exceptional brokers, but together, provide the most complete end-to-end brokerage team that I’ve encountered. Their team has sought to understand the intricacies of our unique investment approach and has continually adapted and honed their process for sourcing, negotiating, and closing deals in a manner that has enabled us to quickly close deals while extracting significant value in each negotiation. It’s an absolute pleasure working with their team, and I look forward to pursuing additional deals with the Uzun Group in Hampton Roads and as we expand statewide and beyond.

Brian Ehardt – Ehardt Investments, LLC

"The Uzun Group of Marcus & Millichap did an excellent job at helping me acquire my first multifamily property in Norfolk, VA."

Sam & Melissa Houff – Houff Investments, LLC

"I very much enjoyed working with The Uzun Group of Marcus & Millichap. They played a key component in finding me my first multifamily investment property out of state and off-market. Their market knowledge, diligence, and transaction management skills enabled me to make this a very smooth transaction and I am eagerly looking for my next deal with them. I highly recommend working with them."
