Sperry Van Ness Gains Central Oregon Affiliate

BEND, OR-Locally based brokers Brent Goodman and Michael Baron have affiliated with Sperry Van Ness, giving the Irvine, CA-based commercial real estate investment services firm coverage in the central portion of the state.

Goodman and Baron specialize in investment sales. Prior to affiliating with SVN, Goodman served as president/broker for Controlled Equities Investments LLC, a commercial and investment real estate firm. Goodman also has served as a senior investment broker with CB Commercial in Seattle and Marcus & Millichap in Bellevue. Baron most recently served as a senior investment associate for Marcus & Millichap and Compass Commercial.

Baron tells GlobeSt.com they recently co-listed a property and when the SVN opportunity came along, they decided to continue the relationship. Their new operation is operating out of the former offices of Goodman’s former company. The Central Oregon market “is becoming mature enough from an investment sales standpoint that you really need national exposure,” says Baron, adding that he expects the affiliation also will help the duo generate more business.
