The SIOR designation represents a professional achievement for highly-qualified commercial real estate practitioners with a strong and sustained transactional history in brokerage, fee-based services or executive management.

The local chapter, part of a network of nearly fifty chapters located throughout the United States, Canada and Europe, contains approximately sixty members.

“Commercial real estate professionals are required to earn their way into SIOR membership based on a multitude of factors such as transactional history and the demonstration of sustained professional ethics, which positions our group extremely differently among all other real estate organizations,” explained. Kate Jordan. “When a company chooses to initiate a business relationship with a SIOR-designated professional, they can be assured that they are working with an expert with the highest integrity and a strong track record of success.

“The Maryland-Washington, D.C.- Northern Virginia region remains among the highest-performing area nationally in the industrial, warehouse and data center categories, due to the outstanding consumer demographics and diverse business climate, and our members play significant roles in the leasing and sale of high-profile transactions. Together with our executive committee, we intend to further elevate the SIOR brand regionally and educate the business community about the immense value of working with a SIOR professional.”

The Society of Industrial and Office Realtors is comprised of more 3,400 members in 42 countries.
