Rand Sperry and Mark Van Ness,
Co-Founders

TIRED OF BEING “BROKERED”?

So were Rand Sperry and Mark Van Ness. In 1987, frustrated with the way the industry handled clients and transactions, Sperry and Van Ness did something about it. They pioneered a better way of handling investment real estate sales that put the client’s interests first. Sperry Van Ness was founded with the aim of providing owners and investors the most effective research, advisory and transaction services tailored to the unique attributes of each product type.

Today, Sperry Van Ness (svn.com) is one of the fastest growing commercial real estate firms in the nation. Ours is a simple but revolutionary business proposition: create unprecedented value for owners and investors of commercial real estate assets. Year after year, transaction after transaction, our results prove it. Maximum competition equals maximum value.


Our Powerful Property Marketing System Integrates:

  • Broker specialization by product type and market area
  • Relationships with the largest pool of qualified owners, investors, attorneys and tax advisors
  • A long-standing culture of internal cooperation and information-sharing
  • State-of-the-art technology that matches Buyers and Sellers

Confidential Marketing. Cooperative Brokerage.

Sperry Van Ness has a proven track record and national reputation for putting the client before the commission. We especially refuse to cut corners when it comes to preserving the confidential nature of each independent living, assisted living, and skilled nursing transaction. This commitment to confidentiality is underscored by a mandated team policy of using detailed confidentiality agreements when introducing new opportunities to prospective Buyers. Moreover, our firm’s national platform ensures that the Seller’s confidential information will never be exposed to outside brokers without their permission. Whenever feasible, we will gladly cooperate with outside brokers on a confidential basis in order to ensure that we are accessing all investors on behalf of our clients.

Since confidentiality is not a major concern for most MOB owners, we proactively cooperate with the entire brokerage community to identify 1031 exchange investors, syndicates, and other qualified Buyers across the country and around the world. The HCRE Team stays ahead of the curve by closely monitoring changing conditions in the acquisitions market, and diligently tracking the movement of investment capital and the activity of Buyers and Sellers.
