Marcus & Millichap Names Gene A. Berman Executive Vice President


  

 FORT LAUDERDALE, FL –The board of directors of Marcus & Millichap Real Estate Investment Services, the nation’s largest real estate investment services firm, has named Gene A. Berman (top right photo) executive vice president, one of the highest honors the firm bestows on its managing directors. Most recently, Berman held the title of senior vice president.

            “Gene’s proven leadership abilities, his dedication to supporting the firm’s investment professionals through mentorship and training, and his extensive knowledge of the investment brokerage market have earned him this title,” says John J. Kerin (lower left photo), president and chief executive officer.

“He has proven to be a dominant force in some of the country’s biggest markets, including the Greater Los Angles Area, South Florida and the Northeast. For instance, Gene was instrumental in the expansion of our presence in the state of Florida, positioning Fort Lauderdale as one of our firm’s top-producing offices,” adds Kerin.

Berman began his career at Marcus & Millichap in 1982 as an agent in the Encino office.  He was designated a senior investment associate in 1987. In 1996 he left his sales career for a new challenge: relocating to Fort Lauderdale, Fla., to open the office as its regional manager.

 In 1997 Berman was promoted to vice president and in 2001 he earned the title first vice president.  He received the Regional Manager of the Year designation in 2001, and a year later was elected a senior vice president one year later.

Berman was elected a managing director of the firm in 2005, a position he continues to hold. In 2007 he accepted the responsibility for overseeing the company’s Florida offices; in 2008 he began to oversee its Texas offices and in 2010 he accepted responsibility over the Northeast offices. In all, Berman currently oversees 20 offices nationwide.

 Berman received a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Southern California. He received a Juris Doctor in 1981 from Southwestern University School of Law.
