What SVN | Palmetto does

SVN | Palmetto is a commercial real estate brokerage and advisory firm operating as an independently owned franchise of SVN International. Headquartered at 330 Pelham Road, Suite 100A in Greenville, South Carolina, the firm maintains offices in Charleston and Charlotte with broader Carolinas coverage. The entity traces its roots to SVN | Blackstream, which affiliated with SVN International in 2014, and rebranded to SVN | Palmetto in 2026; the firm has grown from one advisor to over 150 advisors and ranks #6 nationwide among 200 SVN offices for 2023 sales performance. There is no public funding history and the company is privately held as a single-member Carolinas LLC under the SVN International franchise umbrella.

The firm provides full-service commercial real estate services spanning retail, multifamily, office, industrial, self-storage, and land asset classes. Core offerings include tenant representation, landlord representation, investment sales, consulting, property management (introduced with the 2025 franchise launch), and a dedicated retail brokerage sub-brand called Reedy River Retail. Asset-class coverage extends from garden-style to high-rise multifamily, traditional and climate-controlled self storage, and land parcels along the I-85 corridor and Southeast rural acreage. The underlying technology stack is described as SVN International's shared platform for market intelligence, property marketing, and transaction management, including collaborative deal-marketing tools that surface properties to a national investor pool. The firm has closed notable transactions including a $25.75M+ multifamily portfolio (404 units) for Two Bridges Asset Management, a $12.1M apartment sale (Alston Arms, 160 units), a $10.7M shopping center sale (Woodruff Village), a $4.56M Publix-anchored retail development, a $3.8M Dunkin' Donuts net-lease sale, and an $3.036M 83-acre land sale to Toll Brothers, among others.

Revenue is generated through two principal streams. Transaction-based commissions on commercial sales, leases, and acquisitions (brokerage) form the dominant revenue line, with fees negotiated per transaction and not publicly disclosed. Managed-services revenue from the property management division, established at the 2025 franchise relaunch, adds a recurring fee stream from office, retail, and industrial facilities. The customer mix is horizontal and project-based by nature — encompassing institutional investors (Two Bridges Asset Management, Westgate Mall ownership), retail and food-and-beverage tenants (Publix, Food Lion, Dunkin', Harris Teeter), commercial property owners, land developers, and self-storage operators — distributed across the Carolinas rather than concentrated in a single account.
