REVOLUTIONIZING Commercial Real Estate In 1987 Rand Sperry and Mark Van Ness joined forces and founded Sperry Van Ness on the principle that brokers cannot honestly claim to put a client's interest first, unless they put their money where their mouth is. Since agents represent most investors, we know that the only way to ensure top value for our clients is to enlist the entire brokerage community and, yes, even pay them their fair share of the fee! Our philosophy, maximum competition equals maximum value, has created a revolutionary approach to commercial real estate. We embrace the competition for the benefit for our client. Today, Sperry Van Ness is the fastest growing commercial real estate firm in the nation. Currently operating in over 60 regions, Sperry Van Ness is continuing to bring their high level services to new markets. Maximum Competition. Maximum Value. Faster closes. Higher values. These are the real measures of success. Combined with our unique strategies and guaranteed broker-to- broker cooperation, you can begin to understand our passion for this revolution that is creating new industry benchmarks. Today, while other national firms still subscribe to the traditional closed methods of brokering, Sperry Van Ness is the only national firm with a policy and practice of cooperating on every listing with over 100,000 brokers and investors across the country. Technology at Your Fingertips In a break from tradition, Sperry Van Ness uses high technology to facilitate exciting and dynamic property marketing programs for our clients. By linking brokers through the Internet, and the development of our BrokerNet database, we have been able to further expand our model of broker cooperation and reach new markets faster. In addition to our traditional marketing brochures, Sperry Van Ness also offers interactive electronic brochures, electronic postcards and exclusive property websites. Experienced Representation Only industry leaders with proven experience are accepted to the Sperry Van Ness team. Agents must pass rigorous ethics testing and background checks in addition to their extensive experience. Those joining the firm are proven successful professionals with years of extensive knowledge. Sperry Van Ness brings its clients unprecedented levels of expertise, with agents that foster the highest level of integrity. And the result-the average Sperry Van Ness agent closes twice the volume of other companies' agents. Proactive Marketing = Broker Forums Sperry Van Ness is the only firm whose clients benefit from the well-earned reputation of a consistent, proactive approach by marketing listings to outside brokers as well as investors as a matter of policy. Sponsoring over 100 marketing forums each year, Sperry Van Ness promotes all listings to its external broker network, inviting other brokerage houses to attend these forums to learn about Sperry Van Ness deals as well as present their own. SPERRY VAN NESS COMPLETES SALE OF MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING IN PALOS HEIGHTS, ILLINOIS FOR $1.875 MILLION PALOS HEIGHTS, Ill., May 8, 2003 – Sperry Van Ness, one of the nation’s premier commercial real estate investment firms, has completed the sale of Southwest Highway Physicians Center to Vision Realty Partners for $1.875 million. Southwest Highway Physicians Center is a one building, 24,250-square-foot medical office property located at 11824 Southwest Highway in Palos Heights, IL. Ray Zabielski of Sperry Van Ness in Chicago represented the seller, High Technology Inc. “Sperry Van Ness’ proactive marketing program created a competition among several parties that enabled us to sell the property at a higher price than originally listed,” said Zabielski. “The buyer, a Chicago area investment group looking to expand its investments into the medical field, was able to secure an excellent property with good cash flow at an attractive price.” Zabielski went on to say that this is a perfect example of two parties meeting their respective needs and being pleased with the results. Southwest Highway Physicians Center is 95 percent leased and within close proximity to Palos Hospital. This property is easily accessible to expressways leading to downtown Chicago and O’Hare and Midway Airports.
