USD / BMC Alumna, Maggie Brady Voted Rising Star Broker of the Year by San Diego Business Journal

Maggie Brady is an associate in Northmarq’s San Diego office and a member of the firm’s Debt + Equity team. Since 2021, she has specialized in loan production and disposition opportunities for institutional property owners, value-add transition proceeds, construction, affordable financing, healthcare operators, REITs, and high-net-worth individuals. Her expertise spans multifamily, mixed-use, seniors housing, student housing, and office.

In her first year in brokerage, Maggie represented Greystar Realty in acquiring the Pacific Ridge Apartments, a notable $155M+ property owned by AEW. This transaction was handled by Colliers International, which named the deal its most noteworthy multifamily transaction of the year within the $50–$100 million+ category.

Since 2021, Maggie introduced and then strengthened her professionalism and understanding of commercial real estate. She has engaged buyers, sellers, and debt + equity capital for multifamily and other asset classes across San Diego County.

“Her passion for this world cannot be questioned,” said Mark Lippow, senior vice president at Northmarq. “She’s among the most driven and brightest individuals I have ever worked with. Her daily determination and eagerness to learn is inspiring.”

Mark highlighted Maggie’s commitment to client service, noting her ability to connect, build trust, and support clients through complex transactions and detailed processes.

“Seeing Maggie grow into her position has been something special,” he added. “She regularly wants to go beyond, onward, and upward on behalf of clients. For future analysis, I joke that if she were a 15-year-old, I could put anything in front of her and have full confidence it would be handled well and sold correctly. Our clients love her, but more importantly, they respect how she conducts her business.

Maggie’s responsibilities include assisting clients in evaluating all aspects of real estate transactions, from underwriting to due diligence to closing. She has created her own capital stack and has become known for her strong analytical foundation, client engagement skills, and persistent follow-through.

Her nomination for Rising Star came from her peers at Northmarq, who praised her drive, enthusiasm, and willingness to pursue excellence—traits not always seen in professionals so early in their career.

“Maggie is an absolute superstar,” said Andy Kreutter, managing director at Northmarq. “We are thrilled about her growth, her recognition, and all the success ahead.”

Originally from Chicago, Maggie attended the University of San Diego before joining Northmarq. She credits USD’s Burnham-Moores Center for Real Estate for shaping her early understanding of the industry and building a foundation of both technical and professional skill.

Outside of work, Maggie enjoys fitness, spending time with family, and mentoring young people interested in real estate. She remains closely connected to USD, supporting students pursuing industry careers.
