Who We Are

Blake Robinson advises private owners and investors on the sale and acquisition of retail assets across Los Angeles, particularly the South Bay, Long Beach, and Harbor Cities. As part of Marcus & Millichap’s Ovaness-Rostamian Group (Century City), he specializes in multi-tenant retail, mixed-use, single-tenant, and net-leased properties, pairing on-the-ground market knowledge with a national buyer reach to drive competitive pricing and certainty of close.

Before brokerage, Blake served as a National Account Manager under the Rocket Mortgage umbrella, where he supported leading mortgage lenders with data-driven marketing and performance analytics. That background translates into disciplined underwriting, sharper positioning, and proactive lender engagement, helping clients anticipate financing hurdles and keep timelines on track.

How clients benefit
• Pricing & positioning that resonates: Market-supported pricing, clear business plans, and materials that highlight NOI growth, tenant strength, and trade-area fundamentals.
• Targeted buyer outreach: National exposure with curated outreach to the most likely exchange buyers, private capital groups, and family offices to increase competition and proceeds.
• Negotiation & execution: A playbook that anticipates lender and tenant diligence, minimizes re-trades, and protects the seller’s leverage through escrow.
• 1031 exchange guidance: Coordinated disposition and acquisition timelines, replacement identification, and introductions to accommodators and lenders.
• Seamless process management: Close coordination with title/escrow, attorneys, and lenders to reduce surprises and compress days in escrow.

Blake joined Marcus & Millichap in 2023. He holds a B.S. in Business Administration (Marketing) from Sonoma State University.
