Local Expertise. National Reach.

At SVN | Real Estate Associates, we combine deep local expertise in the Triangle market with the power of SVN’s global network. As an independently owned and operated office of SVN International, we bring personal knowledge of the Triangle and surrounding markets - backed by the global reach of SVN offices worldwide.

This unique capability means our clients benefit from our local, on-the-ground presence and national exposure, ensuring that every property is marketed to offer the widest exposure to buyers and tenants.

The SVN® Difference

Most firms keep listings within their walls. We don’t.

Our Compensated Cooperation® model ensures your property is marketed to the entire brokerage community, not just our in-house clients.

Independent analysis shows listings sold with broker cooperation achieve up to 9.6% higher prices per square foot. That’s the power of the SVN Difference.

  • 50% commission share, 100% of the time

  • Wider buyer/tenant pool = more tours, more offers

  • Better outcomes for owners, landlords, and investors
