Women in Real Estate 2020: Berkadia’s Jennifer Ray is Key to Multifamily Team’s Growth

Jennifer Ray co-leads Berkadia’s Houston Multifamily Investment Sales team. She has been a career-long commercial real estate professional, with the past seven years performing in a leadership role. Over the course of her 14-year career, she’s transacted a total of $4.4 billion in multifamily investment sales.

This year, Ray was recognized as one of Berkadia’s top producers nationally – and one of only two female top producers nationally – having executed $175 million in multifamily investment sales in the Houston market in 2019 alone. Accordingly, she was promoted this past January to Senior Director, a title reserved for Berkadia producers with a three-year average of production volume of approximately $150 million.

These are just a couple of the reasons we chose Ray as one of the 2020 Women in Real Estate Award winners. Connect Media’s Women in Real Estate Awards honor the achievements and inspirational stories of women who have reached respected positions of leadership and play key mentorship roles for others.

Since joining Berkadia in 2016, Ray has been instrumental to the team’s development and growth as one of the most powerful multifamily teams in Houston. Among her many contributions, Ray has been instrumental in solidifying a working relationship/client engagement with the second-largest owner of apartments in the country.

Ray’s rigorous academic training and experience working on the ownership side of the business (she was previously with Invesco) gives her added credibility with clients, and allows her to engage with them as a partner, not merely a service provider.
