Berman Builds Chicago Multifamily Brokerage Platform Through Nara Realty
Robert Berman is the Co-Founder and Principal of Nara Realty Advisors, a multifamily brokerage firm specializing in investment sales throughout Chicago. He advises private investors, operators and ownership groups on the acquisition and disposition of multifamily assets. He and his partner, Michael Anguiano, opened the company in 2025.
Berman oversees the day-to-day operations and long-term strategic vision of Nara Realty Advisors. His responsibilities include business development, client advisory, recruiting and mentoring brokers, operational management, marketing strategy and identifying opportunities for expansion into new markets.
A major focus of Berman’s leadership has been recruiting, mentoring, and developing talent within the organization.
He has brokered over 160 transactions totaling over 2,800 apartment units and $220 million in sales volume. Recent standout transactions include the 57-unit, double-courtyard building at 200 N. Kenneth Ave., the 31-unit mixed-use Low-Income Housing Tax Credit property at 4200 W. Roosevelt and a 38-unit property he sold on behalf of a lender after navigating a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure.
These are just a few reasons we chose Robert Berman as one of Connect CRE’s Chicago & Midwest Next Generation Award winners. Connect CRE’s annual Next Generation Awards recognize young leaders who will have a strong influence on the commercial real estate industry.
