Phil Batlin

Managing Director Investments

Philip Batlin is one of the Bay Area’s premier apartment brokers. Since joining Marcus & Millichap in 2009, he has closed over 175 investment real estate transactions totaling more than $500 million and sold more than 1,000 Bay Area apartment units. He leads The Batlin Group at Marcus & Millichap’s San Francisco office and specializes in apartment building sales across San Francisco, San Mateo County, Santa Clara County and the East Bay.

He has sold apartment buildings throughout the Bay Area, from San Francisco and the Peninsula to San Jose, Oakland and Alameda. His sales range from two unit buildings to properties with more than 100 units.

He represents private owners, families, trustees and estates through every stage of a sale, and works closely with 1031 exchange buyers to find and negotiate replacement properties.

Phil is also an apartment owner himself. He has completed his own 1031 exchanges and development projects, so he advises clients from the owner’s side of the table, not just the broker’s. He is a member of the San Francisco Apartment Association and the Small Property Owners of San Francisco Institute.

A third generation San Francisco native raised on Russian Hill, Phil is a graduate of San Diego State University. He trains daily at the Olympic Club and spends his free time with his wife and two children.
