International Franchise Advisory Services Facilitates Canadian Expansion for U.S. Commercial Real Estate Brand
The international franchise sales firm assisted in establishing the first Canadian franchise location for Sperry Van Ness International Corporation, a commercial real estate brokerage franchisor.
Escondido, CA, November 16, 2015 --(PR.com)-- International Franchise Advisory Services (IFAS), a fully outsourced international franchise sales solution, announced today it has facilitated the launch of the first Canadian franchise location for Sperry Van Ness International Corporation (SVNIC), one of the most recognized commercial real estate services franchisors in North America. The new office, a Master Franchise operating under the name of Sperry Van Ness/Rock Advisors, Inc., will expand SVNIC’s unique approach of compensated cooperation that has brought it to the top of the American brokerage market.
IFAS created a strong and successful partnership by connecting two giants in their respective industries. SVNIC has approximately 190 locations serving over 500 international markets. Rock Advisors, Inc., has over twenty-five years of consulting experience buying and selling multi-family rental apartments and student housing across Canada.
“Together, these two companies are sharing a powerful opportunity to rapidly expand their services across Canada,” says IFAS Managing Partner Albert Mendoza.
“We live in an increasingly connected world,” says Rock Advisors, Inc., CEO Derek Lobo. “The competitive Canadian marketplace is an excellent opportunity for U.S. investors who are looking for a new territory that is also familiar. We are happy to partner with a leading American company to bring institutional level services to the Canadian mid-market, all the while building long-term enterprise value to potential franchisees. Together, we can benefit from each other’s experience and energy, generating business that is greater than the sum of its parts.”
The role of Sperry Van Ness/Rock Advisors, Inc., will be to extend the Sperry Van Ness platform into Canada, encouraging brokers to franchise with the firm. This will allow SVNIC brokers to expand their reach into other real estate classes throughout Canada, including self-storage, hotels and mixed-use development.
“The timing couldn’t be better,” says SVNIC President and CEO Kevin Maggiacomo. “In the U.S., 65% of all assets sold are purchased by out of market investors. In Canada, foreign direct investment is rapidly increasing due to its political and economic stability. With U.S. and Canadian buyers crossing boundaries into new markets, and many new non-institutional buyers diversifying their portfolios and becoming first-time real estate investors, we wanted to quickly expand the SVN market share in North America.” He adds, “The team at International Franchise Advisory Services identified a strong and qualified partner and made it happen.”
