Berger & Associates Win Q2 2025 CoStar Power Broker Award for Top East Bay Sale

Hayward, CAMarco McMullen and Ethan Berger of the Berger & Associates team at NAI Northern California have been named Q2 2025 Power Brokers by the CoStar Group in recognition of their role in the sale of 502 Berry Ave., Hayward. The duo successfully represented both buyer and seller in this 32-unit multifamily transaction located in Hayward’s Jackson Triangle neighborhood. 

Built in 1959, Berry Garden Apartments spans 23,400 square feet on a 44,693 square-foot lot, offering a mix of two-bedroom, one-bathroom units. The property features 38 parking spaces, including one dedicated spot per tenant and additional spaces for owners and guests, along with on-site laundry facilities. 

McMullen and Berger secured the winning offer off-market, without a public marketing campaign, while competing head-to-head with multiple brokerages. Changing hands for the first time in over three decades, the property was well maintained with high occupancy, yet offered significant value-add potential for its new ownership. 

“This transaction is a great representation of Marco and Ethan’s ability to uncover opportunities for their clients, leveraging their market knowledge to deliver exceptional results,” said NAI Northern California President James Kilpatrick. 

NAI Northern California continues to be a market leader in the Bay Area multifamily sector. The firm’s consistent recognition as a CoStar Power Broker Award winner reflects its track record of executing high-value transactions and its commitment to driving success for investors, owners, and developers throughout the region.
