Sarah Vincent

Executive Vice President of Operations

Sarah’s favorite SVN Core Covenant:
#2: Cooperate proactively and place my clients’ best interests above my own.

Our SVN Culture is all about encouragement and consideration of each other. We are family and we listen to each other. I appreciate how we at SVN are mindful of our client’s challenges, how we listen to them, and how we place our client’s concerns before all else. This behavior often extends into all sectors of the CRE industry. You can see this when SVN Advisors and staff interact with their clients, vendors and related businesses.

Zach Munroe

VP of Growth

Zach’s favorite SVN Core Covenant:
#10: Nurture my career while valuing the importance of family, health, and community.

It is easy to get caught up in the day-to-day of selling real estate and lose focus on the most important things in life: family and your own personal health. To achieve real happiness it is important to have balance between work and family life.

Julian Banuelos

Director of Regional Growth

Julian’s favorite SVN Core Covenant:
#3: Include, respect, and support all members of the commercial real estate industry.

I like this Core Covenant due to the fact that it exemplifies everything that SVN stands for as a brand. By working with the entire commercial real estate community, it truly gives our clients the best chance of getting the most out of the properties they are trying to sell (as told by the 9.6% Report). "Sharing 50% of commissions, 100% of the time." It is rare in this industry to encourage working with those outside of your network, but doing so speaks volumes about our culture and the SVN Difference.
