Garavaglia Co-Leads One of Marcus＆Millichap’s Top Retail Teams
Chris Garavaglia serves as Managing Director of Investments in Marcus & Millichap’s National Retail Division and a Director in the firm’s National Retail Group. He also co-leads the Perez-Garavaglia Capital Markets Group, one of the firm’s top-performing retail investment sales teams in the country.
Garavaglia specializes in the acquisition and disposition of retail investment properties across multiple U.S. markets. He and his team have completed more than 200 transactions totaling over $1.2 billion across 3 million square feet of commercial real estate since 2016, when he joined Marcus & Millichap as a Sales Intern.
Since 2021, Garavaglia has completed more than a dozen neighborhood shopping center transactions in the St. Louis MSA, totaling over 500,000 square feet. One recent highlight involved the $9.3-million sale of the 45,000-square-foot Oakwood Plaza in Alton, IL.
Garavaglia develops Marcus & Millichap’s junior brokers, providing hands-on coaching in client development, financial underwriting, negotiation strategy and deal execution. In the community, he volunteers with St. Ambrose Parish and Grade School on The Hill in St. Louis.
He has been recognized by Marcus & Millichap (Rookie of the Year, Top Sales Agent and National Achievement), Crexi (Platinum Broker) and CoStar (Power Broker).
These are just a few reasons we chose Chris Garavaglia as one of Connect CRE’s Chicago & Midwest Next Generation Award winners. Connect CRE’s annual Next Generation Awards recognize young leaders who will have a strong influence on the commercial real estate industry.
