Tired of being “brokered”?
In 1987, frustrated with the way the industry handled clients and transactions, the founders of Sperry Van Ness International Corporation did something about it. They pioneered a better way of handling investment real estate transactions that put the client’s interests first. Their mission? Create unprecedented value for commercial Advisors and their clients. Today, the SVN Franchise Organization is one of the fastest growing commercial real estate firms in the nation, with a revolutionary business proposition.
The SVN Difference
From the first day it lists a property, the SVN ORGANIZATION of affiliates is the only brokerage firm that markets all properties on a national basis to a 100,000-strong brokerage and investment community.
Because of its national reach that includes primary, secondary and tertiary markets, the SVN Organization excels at seamlessly locating investment options on behalf of clients across the country while leveraging the power of all brokers — even those with competing firms.
Unlike most brokerage firms, everything that the SVN ORGANIZATION does is designed to achieve better results for real estate investors. Frankly, no other brokerage firm commits to putting the client’s interest first as quickly and effectively as the affiliates of SVN. It’s proven through our people and processes.
Year after year, transaction after transaction, our results prove it.
Maximum cooperation equals maximum value.
