— RODRIGO & MOANA SCHIAVO, FOUNDERS
In 2005, Rodrigo and Moana Schiavo left Brazil — not chasing a market, but following a calling. Before leaving Fortaleza, Rodrigo returned everything they had built to his father. He arrived in Central Florida with $1,400 in his pocket, his wife at his side, and a deep conviction that God had brought them here on purpose.
For the next four years they worked, studied the market, and learned the language of NNN leases, capitalization rates, and tenant credit. By 2009 they had launched their first property management contracts — building a recurring revenue base and learning the operational side of CRE from the ground up. And in 2010 — at the bottom of a market most professionals were exiting — they formally opened Premier Capital Realty.
The contrarian timing wasn’t accidental. The Schiavos believed Central Florida was structurally undervalued — that the I-4 corridor’s demographics, infrastructure, and tourism economy would drive a decade of growth that the cycle was masking. Sixteen years later, that bet has built a firm with hundreds of transactions across retail, medical office, and tenant representation — and a national reputation for hands-on, NOI-focused service.
In 2017, Rodrigo Schiavo was invited into the Forbes Business Council — an invitation-only network of vetted business leaders. The firm grew from two founders into a tight-knit family-led team — Schiavos working alongside trusted partners — serving English-, Portuguese-, and Spanish-speaking clients across the U.S. and abroad.
In March 2026, Premier Capital Realty signed its franchise agreement with SVN International, becoming SVN | Premier Capital Advisors. It was a milestone, not a pivot. The same team. The same family-first practice. The same calling. Now backed by 200+ offices and 2,200+ advisors worldwide — and the global capital that comes with them.
A boutique brokerage with institutional standards. These four ideas have shaped every decision we've made since opening our doors.
This is a family business — and we treat every client relationship the same way. Long horizons, transparent communication, no churn. Your wins are personal to us, because the founders are still answering the phone.
We don't claim to be the best at everything. We focus on the asset classes where our team has built deep, working knowledge — retail, medical, tenant rep, property management — and connect you to the SVN network for everything else.
We're in Orlando. We work the I-4 corridor every day. And we're connected to 200+ SVN offices around the world that bring capital to our market — and give our clients access to opportunities outside it.
Splashy transactions are easy. Growing NOI year over year — through smart leasing, vendor management, and tenant retention — is what actually creates wealth across cycles. That's where we focus.
From a one-page plan in 2005 to an SVN International franchise in 2026. The milestones that shaped the firm.
