Building Better CommBuilding Better Communities with Bob Hart // Season 3: Ep 8: Mary Ann King

The most enduring careers in real estate are built on more than transactions. They are built on trust. In this episode of Building Better Communities, Bob Hart sits down with Mary Ann King, Co-Head of Institutional Solutions at Berkadia, to reflect on her more than four decades in commercial real estate. From her 38 years helping build Moran & Company to its eventual acquisition by Berkadia, Mary Ann shares lessons learned throughout her career and across changing market cycles. Their conversation explores the value of long-term relationships, the evolution from broker to trusted advisor, and the importance of mentorship and giving back. Mary Ann also reflects on her experience as a woman navigating an industry that looked very different when she started, and the impact she hopes to leave on the people and communities around her. It's a thoughtful discussion on trust, experience, and why the relationships you build can ultimately matter more than the deals you close.
