R. Rand Sperry is the Co-Founder of Sperry Van Ness International Inc. and the Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of SVN Equities and Sperry Van Ness Asset Management & Leasing. He is a well-known real estate and business leader in Southern California with more than 25 years of experience in the commercial real estate arena.
Upon graduation from California State University Long Beach, he joined a leading Southland apartment brokerage firm. By 26, Sperry was the general sales manager, the most senior position in the firm, with 160 agents and brokers reporting to him.
In 1987, Sperry and Mark Van Ness joined forces to create Sperry Van Ness, the fastest growing commercial real estate brokerage firm in the nation, with 847 advisors in more than 100 markets across the country. Over the years, he has owned and operated more than 100 commercial properties of all types- more than any other income source, these contributed to his financial independence in his mid-twenties.
In 1998, Sperry took on another challenge – the challenge of building two new important profit centers in the Sperry Van Ness family of companies: SVN Equities and SVN Management.
Seeing this opportunity to capture profits from “value added” investment properties, he along with his SVN Equities partners Burton Young and Jack Carroll, acquired more than 65 properties, which exceed $250 million in value.
To manage the firm’s assets as well as to provide an additional service to Sperry Van Ness’ investors, SVN Management was organized and now has more than eight million square feet under asset management and four million owned.
Sperry combines his unique array of talents and experience in the industry to help others achieve financial independence. From being a self-made millionaire in his late twenties and his rapid rise through the ranks of a large company to creating new companies and divisions under the SVN network, he has inspired young men and women entering the commercial real estate profession in many ways. He is frequently invited as a seminar or motivational speaker at industry and business gatherings throughout the Southwest and enjoys sharing the excitement and opportunity of real estate brokerage and ownership.
Sperry is active in both church and community. He has been a member of numerous civic and religious boards and committees in Orange County, Calif., where he resides with his wife, and their six children.
