After leaving the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce just two years ago for Massey Knakal, Mack Tham has moved on again, this time to Marcus & Millichap. Tham, a former director of sales at
Massey Knakal, said he is moving over to Marcus & Millichap, a national real estate investment firm, to
diversify his business.
“Marcus & Millichap gives me a wider platform,” Tham said. “If my client decides to buy or sell in Brooklyn or Queens or outside of New York City, I can work with them.”
During his first year as an investment specialist at Marcus & Millichap, Tham said he will concentrate on properties in a few neighborhoods, including Flushing, Queens, and both Brooklyn’s and Manhattan’s Chinatowns.
“The market is going to get worse before it gets better, and I want to be flexible,” Tham said. “I want to expand in these markets first, and then near the end of 2009 and 2010, expand business even further.”
Tham will be working out of Marcus & Millichap’s Brooklyn office at 16 Court Street. Although he doesn’t live in Brooklyn, he’s no stranger to the borough. Prior to joining Massey Knakal in 2006, Tham served as the director of real estate and development for the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce, where he worked with property owners to reduce vacancy and provide incentives for developers to build in Brooklyn.
