Scott Warren has completed more than 300 commercial real estate transactions representing over $111 million in closed property value. Warren is the owner and managing director of SVN Innovative Commercial Advisors in Johnson City, New York, a firm that specializes in commercial investment properties, multifamily housing and industrial real estate across Upstate New York and Northeastern Pennsylvania.
Warren holds the CCIM designation and is licensed in New York and Pennsylvania. He earned an industrial engineering degree and completed a Commercial Real Estate Certificate from Cornell University's eCornell program. His career began in financial services in 1986, and he later held a corporate executive position with Columbian Mutual Life Insurance Company.
Warren co-founded a national marketing organization that operated in all 50 states and grew to more than 7,000 agents before its sale. That experience taught him how to identify audiences, communicate value and turn market exposure into results, Warren said.
The firm evaluates sustainable income, tenant quality, operating expenses, capital requirements, zoning and exit options for each property. Warren's marketing system combines property positioning, targeted campaigns, direct investor outreach and national distribution. The approach is designed to reach qualified buyers, generate competition and demonstrate a property's investment potential, he said.
Warren has received CoStar Power Broker and Crexi Platinum Broker awards. His transaction record spans multifamily and student housing, industrial facilities, office buildings, retail properties and complex portfolios. The firm combines local market knowledge with national investor exposure and uses both conventional and auction sale strategies.
Warren's clients include property owners, investors and businesses facing decisions about asset valuation, portfolio sales, acquisitions or issues related to deferred maintenance, tenancy or regulatory changes. Warren develops a strategy around each property and the owner's objectives and remains actively involved through negotiation and closing, he said.
