I just submitted an edit that added a "Lawsuit controversy" section; unfortunately, I accidentally submitted in the middle of writing an edit description. It seems that, in this edit on February 5, anonymous user 70.170.89.200 deleted the section with no edit summary. The content seems well sourced and accurate, so I restored it.
There was also another set of edits by another IP user on March 11 that added a lot of promotional text (which I reverted). Anonymous editors: if you are associated with Marcus & Millichap, I'd advise you to read Wikipedia's guidelines on editing with a conflict of interest. I'm going to be keeping a close eye on this article from now on. Cheers, IagoQnsi ( talk) 18:29, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
Honestly I question whether the content even belongs if we consider WP:DUE. These don't seem like lawsuits that were defining moments in the firm's history. —/ Mendaliv/ 2¢/ Δ's/ 06:20, 6 April 2016 (UTC)
Please update CEO, Hessam Nadji's name. Right now it is spelled incorrectly, it should be "Hessam" instead of "Heesam". FHOM90 ( talk) 21:23, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

Delete "In July 2012, a lawsuit filed by Marcus & Millichap in Washington, D.C. against Greysteel Co. LLC, a firm started by a former broker, Ari Firoozabadi, was thrown out, with the judge noting that the firm sought to cause economic harm and ruin their opponents. Marcus & Millichap settled the lawsuit and said they “regret” the lawsuit." S. Agree with Mendaliv and Ravensfire. Wikipedia is not the appropriate venue considering WP:DUE. It was not a significant or national issue. It involved a dispute between the company and a former agent. It gives undue weight and unfairly mischaracterizes the company. Companies are frequently involved in litigation, but those cases do not appear on Wikipedia. Cases that have been allowed relate to national/international matters and/or made national news (see, e.g. litigation on McDonald's wiki page). Notice that not every case filed against McDonald's is cited. The quote above would be similar to an individual adding a slip/fall or a single employee's wrongful termination case to the McDonald's page. It would rightly be deleted. The posting also uses biased language and miscites the source, e.g. source states: "The parties have resolved all their differences and have executed mutual releases." I question motives and identity of the original author. Advertising litigation wins/losses is inappropriate. 98.173.152.140 ( talk) 19:38, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
Thank you. I do not know what the company's stance is on all press releases. I am not affiliated with it, so I can't answer for it. Either way, its stance is not relevant to the current issue because it is not a battle of press releases on the same issue. The other statements on the page include factual, historical information that belongs in a encyclopedia - history of the company and its founders. This type of biographical information is non-controversial and not subject to dispute. It is what Wikipedia is for. Press releases are fine sources for that. The lawsuit description is entirely different and does not belong in an encyclopedia. I agreed with the points made by prior editors who alluded to the same conclusion. The lawsuit was a local, isolated issue. More importantly, it resulted in a mutual, private settlement. The fact that both parties ageed to settle and dismiss their claims against one another really makes it improper for an encyclopedia. There is nothing noteworthy. Parties agree to settle claims all time for reasons that have nothing to do with merit. Wikipedia's rules make clear that issues of minimal or local significance and biased statements don't belong. Otherwise, any litigant can publish on an adversary's page regarding any number of unimportant or isolated issues, or use it to harm another's reputation. That is what sounds like is occurring here. That is not an encyclopedia, that is Yelp. The cited article is also arguably a poor source and not cited correctly. It is not the WSJ, NY Times, or Washington Post. It provides no analysis, but reads as a biased press release on what was clearly a disputed issue. We should delete it. 98.173.152.140 ( talk) 16:55, 23 March 2018 (UTC)|ans=no
