Brief Bio: Victor S. Voinovich, Sr., Managing Director of SVN/ First Place Commercial Realty, LLC, is headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio.

Full Bio: Victor S. Voinovich, Sr., Managing Director of SVN/ First Place Commercial Realty, LLC, is headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio. He has listed and sold or leased properties in locations throughout Ohio and in multiple states throughout the United States. These properties include office, industrial and medical buildings, shopping centers, sale-leasebacks, multi-family, hotels, and vacant land as well as buyer and tenant representation assignments in each of these product types. Throughout his career, Vic has spent his time in multiple civic, religious, political, and entrepreneurial endeavors. These diverse experiences have allowed Vic to be more aware of and sensitive to the challenges and opportunities of his clients. Having spent over 30 years in the transaction side of commercial real estate business, Vic is familiar with all aspects of underwriting, marketing, and negotiating a commercial real estate transaction smoothly through the closing process. With prior experience as a CPA, Vic is knowledgeable about the tax and financial ramifications associated with commercial real estate. He communicates extensively with his clients providing frequent written and verbal reports on all marketing and transaction activities. He strives to establish long-term relationships with his clients by working to form partnerships that are advantageous to all parties. What sets Vic apart from his competitors is how broadly he markets a property, never assuming to know all the buyers and always looking for additional value in his listings. He has found, more often than not, the highest prices seem to come from unknown buyers. Within 48 hours of listing a property, his listings are posted on multiple websites, exposing them to several million subscribers. Vic proactively co-brokers his listings by broadcasting the availability to thousands of real estate agents. He adheres to his franchise agreement with SVN requiring that he share 50% of the brokerage commission with cooperating brokers. A study done by Real Capital Analytics has documented that co-brokered real estate transactions generate 9.6% higher sale prices. Vic has earned a BBA and MBA from the Weatherhead School of Business of Case Western Reserve University and lives in Northeast Ohio with the love of his life, Pat.
