Karlos Tapia is a commercial real estate investment associate specializing in multifamily acquisitions and investment sales. With more than 20 years of experience in multifamily investing, he advises private and institutional clients on the acquisition, disposition, and financing of income-producing assets.

After spending over a decade earlier in his career at Marcus & Millichap, Karlos returned to the firm at the end of 2025 to focus on representing multifamily buyers and sellers, originating and structuring transactions, and executing comprehensive due diligence. His advisory approach is rooted in disciplined underwriting, data-driven market analysis, and strategic negotiation designed to protect capital and enhance long-term investment performance.

Throughout his career, Karlos has syndicated and co-managed multifamily portfolios totaling hundreds of millions of dollars, closed more than $315 million in transactions, and originated over $83 million in debt. Under the mentorship of senior Marcus & Millichap professionals, he developed a deep understanding of client objectives and the timing required to successfully navigate complex transactions across market cycles.

Karlos’s practice is aligned with Marcus & Millichap’s mission to help clients create and preserve wealth through best-in-class investment sales, financing, research, and advisory services.

Outside of real estate, Karlos is a devoted family man, married to his high-school sweetheart and the father of five. He also competes as a professional off-road race car driver and holds an A-license in soccer coaching—experiences that reinforce the discipline, leadership, and teamwork he brings to every client engagement.
