ELIZABETH CAPATI
Senior Associate
Colliers
Elizabeth Capati exemplifies tenacity, fierce determination, and grit. As a senior associate at Colliers’ South Bay office, Capati works with industrial industry veteran Jeff Smart, specializing in industrial investment sales and leases. Prior to joining Colliers in 2019, she was a research analyst for a top-producing retail investment sales team at Marcus & Millichap’s Washington D.C. office. This served as her introduction to commercial real estate and where her passion for the industry was born.
After moving to Los Angeles in 2019, Capati joined Colliers’ South Bay office, where she began as a client services coordinator supporting several top-producing industrial brokers. She solidified her industry knowledge in this role by assisting brokers with their business and marketing initiatives. Though she was living in a new city, working for a new company, and focusing on a new sector (industrial), she was determined to excel. In 2020, Capati received her California Real Estate Salesperson’s license, and by August of 2021, she became a full-time broker. Since then, she has completed 27 deals totaling over 3 million square feet, with approximate total consideration of $300 million. This includes selling two buildings totaling over 200,000 square feet, with an impressive turnaround from listing to closure in under two months.
In 2022, Capati was recognized by Colliers for the prestigious “Rookie of the Year” award for her perseverance and determination throughout her first year of brokerage. She is an active member of the Emerging Industrial Leaders steering committee and part of the leadership board for Colliers’ Los Angeles Women’s Broker Network.
