Sarasota, Florida (July 29, 2020) – Despite the economic challenges in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, advisors from the SVN Commercial Advisory Group and SVN Coastal Commercial Advisors completed five deals exceeding $1 million each during the second quarter of 2020. The teams managed 63 transactions during the quarter for a total volume just over $12 million.
“Obviously, it was a challenging time across the entire U.S. economy,” said Matt Christian, Managing Director of the SVN Commercial Advisory Group. “But our people persevered and provided expert guidance to their clients, helping them navigate through the current business climate. As a result, we completed several significant deals this quarter.”
