On this podcast, I talk with CRE professionals about their deals and careers. From how they got started in the business, to their most challenging deals, and everything in between. This show is to help brokers become better advisors, for investors to unlock more opportunities, and for anyone who wants to learn more about the commercial real estate industry.
I'm Adam Dunn, a multifamily investment sales broker at Berkadia - one of the nation's leading commercial real estate firms. My team and I specialize exclusively in helping our clients buy or sell apartment communities and capitalize developments across the Northeast. I've closed over $5 Billion in transactions during my career. What sets me apart from other apartment brokers?
Before I ever listed a deal, I lived inside the operations. I worked my way from leasing agent to manager overseeing more than $500 Million in Class A apartment communities. I know what a property looks like from the inside out - the P&Ls, the turn costs, the lease-up dynamics, and the management challenges that impact value. That operational background makes me a sharper advisor for investors who want a broker who actually understands what they own.
Who I work with:
I work with apartment investors - private capital, operators, institutional, REITs and family offices - who are buying, selling, or capitalizing multifamily assets across the Northeast. Whether you're a first-time apartment buyer or a seasoned portfolio owner, my team brings the market intelligence, relationships, and execution you need to make confident decisions.

I'm a Managing Director at Berkadia in Boston, where my team advises investors on buying, selling, and capitalizing apartment properties across New England. I've spent my entire career in the multifamily sector, starting in property management and leasing before moving into investment sales over 15 years ago. That operations background is my edge — I understand how these assets work, not just how they trade. Over the course of my career I've been involved in more than $5 billion in transactions. The Dunn Report and The CRE Deal Room podcast are extensions of that work: ways to share what I'm seeing in the market with a broader audience of investors and professionals.
Our primary focus is multifamily investment sales and equity placement across New England, with particular depth in Greater Boston. If you're looking to buy, sell, or capitalize an apartment property in the region, that's the conversation we're built for.
The Dunn Report is a free newsletter covering capital markets, deal flow, and the macro trends shaping the multifamily sector. It goes out monthly to more than 15,000 subscribers, investors, operators, brokers, and capital providers who want clear market analysis without the noise. You can read a sample issue before subscribing. No paywall, no upsell.
The CRE Deal Room is a podcast where I sit down with commercial real estate professionals to unpack their deals, their careers, and what they've learned. Guests have included Chris Tourtellotte of LaTerra Development, Mike Procopio of The Procopio Companies, and David Auerbach of Hoya Capital, among others. New episodes publish every two weeks on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube.
Supply is the defining story right now. Greater Boston delivered 8,000–9,000 units annually for several consecutive years. After 2026, that pipeline drops by roughly 50%, because new development regulations, IDP requirements, and capital markets conditions have made new construction difficult to pencil. Less supply against continued demand means upward pressure on rents is likely for the foreseeable future. For investors with capital to deploy, the setup looks similar to the opportunity window that followed the GFC. I cover this in detail in The Dunn Report each week.
If you're an owner considering a sale, a buyer evaluating the New England market, or a developer looking for equity placement guidance, the best first step is a direct conversation. My team operates out of Berkadia's Boston office. Reach out via the contact form on this site or connect on LinkedIn at @AdamDunnCRE. If the timing isn't right yet, subscribing to The Dunn Report is a good way to stay in the market conversation until it is.
