Looking Back, Moving Forward: How We Supported Our Clients and Communities in 2024
Sands Investment Group
SIG is a full-service commercial real estate brokerage firm specializing in investment sales and capital markets.
In 2024 we welcomed top talent, expanded into new markets, and refined our offerings to serve our clients better. Whether you’re a longtime client or considering joining our team, we’re proud to share how we’ve evolved to create more opportunities and deliver even greater value.
At the end of the year, we saw a major increase in transactions, driven by our strategic expansion into key sectors and the changing market conditions. The sentiment seemed to change as more rate cuts were announced and the increased clarity that came post-election. We also saw increased sale-leasebacks and opportunistic buyers in sectors that we have been focused on for years.
By expanding our teams dedicated to C-Stores, Mobile Home Parks, Early Education, and Shopping Centers, we were able to significantly boost deal volume, successfully closing over 500 transactions on behalf of our clients.
One of the most exciting developments in 2024 was our expansion into Nashville and Chicago, driven by our commitment to follow talent and opportunity. As we continued to grow, we recognized a strong demand from clients in the Midwest and Southeast. We were able to launch with an incredible group of brokers who not only delivered exceptional work but also shared our values and vision for the industry.?
Being in a position to give back is a privilege, and it’s something we take seriously. When Chris and Liz Sands started SIG in 2010, they didn’t just want to build a brokerage, they wanted to build a company that actually cared—about the work, the people, and the communities we are part of.?
Through SIGives, we’ve supported over 16 charitable organizations this year, including:
Looking Ahead to 2025
As we move into the new year, we’re excited about what’s next and are committed to continuing to grow in ways that bring more value to our clients, support smarter investments, and create a lasting impact.
To all of our clients, partners, and team members—thank you for making 2024 an incredible year. We look forward to what we’ll build together in 2025.
