Description
Sperry Commercial Global Affiliates is a nationally recognized commercial real estate brokerage platform built for entrepreneurial professionals who want independence, control, and scale without sacrificing brand credibility or deal support. The brand is designed for experienced brokers, brokerage owners, and investment-focused professionals who want to grow their own firm while leveraging a respected national presence.

Brand Journey and Company History
Sperry Commercial Global Affiliates was created to challenge the conventional commercial brokerage model. The founders identified a clear gap in the market—high-producing brokers were constrained by outdated structures, limited support, and restrictive commission arrangements.
The affiliate model was designed to reverse this dynamic by allowing professionals to own their market presence while benefiting from national infrastructure, branding, and collaboration. Over time, Sperry expanded selectively across the U.S., attracting experienced brokers, boutique firms, and investment specialists.
