…We found that person in you, Gary, and your company, Sperry Van Ness.
Late Last year, my business partner, Dr. Tom Hooper and I decided to market and sell our valuable medical office building in Wilson, NC. We sought just the right real estate professional and insisted that he be backed by a quality firm that could generate an effort to sell into a competitive national environment...We found that person in you, Gary, and your company, Sperry Van Ness.
Your wealth of previous experience and exquisite attention to detail certainly ensure the overall success of the transaction. You certainly helped us avoid many of the pitfalls that often befall less experienced sellers along the way. Thanks again for all of your efforts on our behalf!

…$2.5m more than we had been offered!
My father and I have over 40 years combined real estate investment in long-term care facilities. We used our normal channels inside the industry to locate a potential REIT buyer. After meeting you and learning about SVN’s unique marketing program, we decided to give you a chance.
We are very happy with the exposure you have been able to provide. Your firm’s marketing stimulated much more interest than we have experienced for previous investments. You registered over 30 buyers in the first three weeks and presented us with 3 or 4 offers within 30 days of listing. Most significantly, you brought a qualified buyer to the table that was willing to pay $2.5m more than we had been offered!

Your marketing program produced multiple offers, just like you said it would, and I believe that we got the highest possible price for our apartments because of your method. I still can not believe that we would have left $1.5m on the table if we had gone with the other broker!

…I appreciated your creative approach…
"Thank you [Scott] for helping me to sell my Charleston Commons condominiums. You truly proved that 'Maximum Competition Equals Maximum Value' with your comprehensive and far-ranging sales program that attracted buyer interest as far away as Southern California."
"Most of all I appreciated your creative approach to subdivide Charleston Commons into individual condominium units to achieve the highest price, and your perserverance with the buyer's lender to help overcome their initial reluctance to finance the transaction. This enabled us to exceed your initial opinion of value by more than 14%, and put it under contract more quickly than I could have ever expected."

Gary’s input… made the decision easy…
