Sperry Van Ness International Corp. Adds Office in Southern California

IRVINE, Calif., July 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Sperry Van Ness International Corporation (SVNIC), a commercial real estate services franchisor, is proud to announce the addition of its newest office, Sperry Van Ness/Renaissance Commercial in Irvine, Calif. Forged by the vision of Darrell Hoover and Michael Gustafson, the company will serve Orange County and the "Inland Empire," one of the fastest-growing areas of Southern California today.

After six years in the National Football League, Hoover began his ascent in real estate in 1975, with Hoover Advertising, a firm that included some of the largest home builders in the country. He later became a direct leader in the homebuilding industry, as president of Beazer Homes' Southern California division from 1991 to 1996. During that time, Beazer Homes went public and became the sixth largest homebuilder in the U.S. Following the economic downturn, Hoover founded CrissCross Solutions, helping banks and other investors with property repositioning, work-out situations, and asset protection.

Hoover and SVN/Renaissance Commercial are now poised to seize a major piece of Southern California's exploding growth in the retail, industrial, high-end apartment, office, and recreational markets.

Based in Irvine, the franchise is also supported by SVNIC's national marketing platform.

"I'm continually blown away by the smart tools and the entrepreneurial spirit of SVNIC," said Hoover. "I like to say SVNIC is high tech –and high touch. The commitment to the client exists at all levels."

"SVN/Renaissance Commercial brings a unique combination of experience and fresh perspective to the next generation of Sperry Van Ness^® leadership in Southern California," said SVNIC President and CEO Kevin Maggiacomo. "We're thrilled to have the enthusiasm of Darrell Hoover and his team, as they build a Sperry Van Ness brokerage presence that's stronger than it's ever been in this part of the country."
