Newmark announces that two of its leading Silicon Valley professionals have been recognized with prestigious honors from the Association of Silicon Valley Brokers (ASVB) at the organization’s annual awards dinner.
President, Northwest Region Chuck Seufferlein won with the Mike Murphy Award, a special recognition given to individuals who exemplify integrity, leadership and a commitment to the local community. This award is not presented annually, reserved for those whose influence extends beyond commercial real estate, demonstrating a lasting positive impact on both the profession and the broader Silicon Valley community.
Seufferlein has been a transformative leader in Silicon Valley commercial real estate for decades. His career is marked by consistent excellence in brokerage and management, alongside a deep commitment to his community.
“Chuck has had a distinguished career as broker, developer, mentor and leader,” said Jon Mackey, Newmark Executive Managing Director, Market Leader. “He is most proud of giving back to his community, having founded the Seufferlein Sales Program at Chico State to teach professional sales skills to the next generation.”
Vice Chairman Ben Stern was inducted into the ASVB Hall of Fame, which recognizes industry leaders whose long-term contributions have left a lasting impact on the profession. Hall of Fame inductees are professionals with at least two decades of distinguished service in Silicon Valley commercial real estate.
Stern specializes in tenant representation and advising high-profile clients on office, R&D and strategic real estate transactions spanning multiple markets throughout the Bay Area. He has consistently ranked as a top producer at Newmark, helping drive significant growth in the firm’s tenant advisory practice and contributing to landmark deals that have shaped the region’s tech and innovation corridors.
“Ben’s ability to ask good questions, listen and strategically execute solutions on behalf of his clients has been the foundation of his success over a 23-year career,” said Mackey. “In addition, he is a mentor to young brokers and a leader in our office and the community. His Hall of Fame induction is a well-deserved honor.”
The awards were celebrated at the ASVB Annual Awards Dinner in San Jose, an event that also raises funds for local charities. Winners are profiled in a special publication of the Silicon Valley Business Journal.
Newmark continues to have strong momentum in Silicon Valley, where the firm has achieved a 14% increase in transaction volume over the past year, further solidifying its leading position in the region.
