SVN Senior Living Advisors kicked off its 2025 with a new hire and is primed for a busy year. Industry veteran Mark Myers made the move from Walker & Dunlop to join SVN SLA’s existing team of Tony Yousif, Torey Riso, Don Husi, John Klement, Joshua Salzman, Aaron Thompson, Jacob Bennema, Fabio Riso, Shelly Bird and Michael Watson. Myers will join as a Managing Director and Member of the Executive Committee. He helped facilitate and close a 76-facility portfolio bankruptcy sale and another three-facility portfolio deal within the past 30 days before joining the firm, so he’ll look to continue that activity in 2025.
The hire comes after a building year for SVN SLA, which also refined its processes and procedures, and secured its systems and infrastructure to serve its clients. It brought multiple properties/portfolios to market, including several operating assets sold via auction platform. SVN SLA also provided strategic operating advice and valuation services to public and private investors, institutional lenders, commercial banks, receivers, special servicers, owner/operators and managers. In addition, it provided to its institutional clients broker price opinions for over 105 seniors housing and skilled nursing assets with an aggregate market value in excess of $2 billion. SVN SLA will continue to provide these services, plus capital markets services, in 2025.
