Chicago-based Sperry Van Ness (SVN) AuctionWorks, a commercial and residential
real estate auction house, has announced the hire of three new team members. Andrew Benson and Sagar (Sam) Shah join the firm as advisors, and Rose Lucania joins as operations

“Real estate auctions
continue to gain popularity among owners and investors as an alternative to a
traditional sale, and we continue to expand in order to keep up with the
increased activity in the space,” said Diana
Peterson, president of SVN AuctionWorks.
“This summer alone we have
more than 200 properties, both commercial and residential, up for auction.
We’ve had no choice but to grow our team in order to keep up with client
demand. It’s not a bad problem to have.”
Benson, who most recently
held positions in banking and finance at Northern Trust and William Blair &
Company, will specialize in the sale of commercial and residential real estate
via accelerated marketing. Benson began
working in residential real estate at Baird & Warner before transitioning
