Three local commercial real estate affiliates of Boston-based Sperry Van Ness Corp. will undergo a name change, to SVN, as part of a corporate rebranding.
Instead of using the spelled-out name, the three affiliates will now be known, respectively, as SVN Commercial Real Estate Advisors, SVN Team Southwest and SVN Walt Arnold Commercial Brokerage.
SVN Advisors was launched by Larry Ilfeld as SVN’s first New Mexico affiliate in 2002, followed by Team Southwest headed by Tim House in 2003. Walt Arnold Brokerage, named for its founder, was an existing company when it affiliated in 2007.
A national franchise system approaching 200 offices worldwide, Sperry Van Ness provides technology systems, service lines and networking for its affiliates. Its offices are independently owned and operated.
