Eli Appel, Managing Director Investments at Marcus & Millichap – Encino, specializes in the sale of multifamily investment properties throughout Southern California, including Los Angeles and its surrounding submarkets from the Inland Empire to the South Bay. Eli has built a strong track record of maximizing value for his clients, achieving top-of-market pricing across premier locations such as the Westside and Beverly Hills, where he commands a significant share of transaction volume.

A core component of his advisory expertise is tax-deferred 1031 exchange strategy, enabling investment property owners to reposition capital efficiently while deferring capital gains taxes. His market insight and transactional success have been featured in Los Angeles Business Journal, San Fernando Valley Business Journal, Bisnow, and CoStar.

Early in his career, Eli earned the Marcus & Millichap Pacesetter Award, recognizing top-performing incoming agents nationwide. He has since consistently achieved the firm’s prestigious SRA Award for delivering exceptional value to clients and was promoted to Senior Director Investments in 2020.
