Sperry Van Ness International Corp. (SVNIC) and Respected Real Estate Executive Launch SVN® Franchise in Austin, TX

Boston, Mass. — Sperry Van Ness International Corporation (SVNIC), a full-service commercial real estate franchisor of the SVN^® brand, announces the addition of its newest franchise office, SVN ǀ Tamarack in Austin, Texas. Led by Loree Misch, MBA, a commercial real estate professional with 20 years experience in investments, strategic planning, and corporate operations, the newly formed SVN ǀ Tamarack maximizes the profitability of its client’s real estate investments by providing commercial real estate sales, landlord and tenant representation, and real estate consulting throughout the Greater Austin market. 

Commercial real estate investors and companies in greater Austin face a challenging market. The area is going through a period of tremendous population growth and job growth of almost 4 percent in 2015, which creates demand for office space. Despite the ongoing construction and addition of new office space throughout the metro area, occupancy rates for top-tier office space is hovering around 91 percent, making it difficult to find available properties. In addition, rent for office space is also increasing. In this highly competitive market, finding the right property, selling a building at the highest price, finding the proper funding, and negotiating deals for maximum advantage requires professional support.

SVN ǀ Tamarack is uniquely positioned to help investors and sellers achieve maximum value in every type of real estate transaction within the Austin market with a combination of local expertise and the national reach of SVN. The company brings a business owner’s and principal investor’s perspective to helping companies and investors realize the profitability of commercial real estate properties. 

“My experience gives me a distinctive opportunity for clients in that I’ve been in their shoes,” says Misch, Founder and Managing Director of SVN|Tamarack. “As a company founder, I’ve raised capital for my mezzanine debt investment fund and I know what it takes to start and run a company, and I understand how real estate impacts the bottom line. I have had a dual perspective as a recipient of investment funds from outside investors, and as an investor in companies; helping major institutions make tough decisions on their real estate.  The professionalism, high level of expertise, values, and culture of SVN are what attracted me to the company. Its core business offerings are a great fit with my experience in analyzing commercial real estate and corporate cash flows, structuring investments, strategic planning, and running companies in ways that ensure investments and institutions succeed.” 

As part of a network of over 200 SVN offices around the world, SVN ǀ Tamarack brings immediate advantages to the Austin commercial real estate market. With the global strength of the largest distribution channel in the commercial real estate market, the company is able to identify opportunities that other brokerages might miss.

The relationship with SVN provides SVN ǀ Tamarack with access to a proven brokerage performance model, targeted marketing, and technology tools that allow it to syndicate and promote clients’ properties in a matter of minutes.

The expertise of Misch united with the global reach, collaborative approach and technical assets of SVN is a winning combination. Global and cross-state strength for a commercial real estate firm is important in Austin’s market. The majority, 83%, of buyers of commercial real estate with a value in excess of $2.5M, 66% came from states other than Texas, and 16% came from foreign buyers.
