SVN International Corp. is a leading commercial real estate (CRE) franchise, founded in 2001 with a mission to enhance the industry through cooperation and organized competition.
Headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, SVN began franchising in 2002 and has since grown to over 200 offices across six countries, supported by more than 2,000 advisors and staff.
SVN offers a wide range of CRE brokerage services, including investment sales, leasing, property management, and tenant representation. Its distinctive Shared Value Network model promotes transparency by encouraging fee and data sharing across the brokerage community. This approach fosters collaboration and maximizes value for clients.
What sets SVN apart is its commitment to inclusivity and innovation. As the only employee-owned Public Benefit Corporation in the CRE industry, SVN promotes a culture of accountability and shared success.

We are summarizing below the main costs associated with opening a New SVN Franchise.
For more information on the various types of franchises and its costs, refer to the Franchise Disclosure Document (Item 7).
SVN provides a structured and multi-faceted training program to ensure franchisees effectively integrate into the network and maintain operational standards. The programs span initial orientation, ongoing learning, and specialized events designed for development.
SVN does not provide franchisees with an exclusive territory under its Franchise Agreement. Instead, franchisees are assigned a “Primary Market Area” (PMA), typically a metropolitan area or county, where they are expected to conduct more than 50% of their business.
However, this PMA is nonexclusive, and SVN reserves the right to license other franchisees or operate company-owned businesses within the same area. The franchisor and its affiliates may also offer or sell services under the same or different trademarks both within and outside of the assigned PMA.
There are no restrictions on who can be solicited for business, and all parties are free to advertise and operate across geographic boundaries. This setup offers limited territorial protection, relying instead on operational cooperation and internal policies among franchisees.
