How One Woman Became A Top Retail Broker for IPA

Erin Patton

COLUMBUS, OH—Executive Director Erin Patton is a market leader in the disposition and acquisition of retail assets throughout the Midwest region for Institutional Property Advisors (IPA), a division of Marcus & Millichap. Since joining the firm in 2004, and over the course of her career, Patton has developed significant transactional expertise in the retail sector and has become one of IPA’s top-producing retail brokers.

“I started in this business as one person and have grown to a team of 16 over time,” Patton tells GlobeSt.com. “Growth to me has been slow, but deliberate, in most of the choices my partners and I make. We have grown our territory from Columbus and Cleveland to the entire state of Ohio and have continued to add states over time. Now we head up the entire Midwest for IPA and are active in over a dozen states spanning the Midwest.”
