Why choose SVN
SVN combines national brand recognition of a Top 10 CRE brand with local ownership and identity preservation. The collaborative culture is built on sharing information and fees across the entire CRE brokerage community, creating an environment where everyone wins together. Offices achieve 22% faster time from listing to sale than the market average and 40% higher broker income than the industry average. Comprehensive support spans technology, marketing, recruiting, operations, education, and business development. An award-winning marketing platform accelerates speed-to-market and shortens sales cycles. With 77% of buyers coming from outside the local market, SVN reaches non-local capital through its national network to drive results that local-only firms simply cannot match.
