Founder & Managing Director
Rodrigo Schiavo is the Founder and Managing Director of SVN | Premier Capital Advisors, where he also serves as Broker of Record and leads the firm’s commercial brokerage, capital markets and investment advisory practice.
With more than 20 years of experience in Florida real estate, Rodrigo has worked across the full life cycle of an asset, including financing, acquisitions, investment sales, leasing, property management, capital structuring, commercial development and joint ventures. That integrated perspective allows him to evaluate an opportunity not simply as a transaction, but as a long-term decision involving capital, risk and value creation.
His U.S. story began in 2005, when he and his wife and business partner, Moana Schiavo, moved from Brazil to Florida. Together they built a real estate finance company that came to represent more than 130 lenders and financial institutions and handled more than $100 million in financing volume in under three years. Navigating the 2008 financial crisis became a practical education in resilience, discipline and risk management.
In 2010, Rodrigo and Moana founded Premier Capital Realty.
In 2026, the firm joined the SVN network as SVN | Premier Capital Advisors, preserving its local, family-led character while gaining access to more than 200 offices and over 2,000 Advisors worldwide. The firm serves investors, property owners and businesses across Central and South Florida, with particular experience in retail, shopping centers, grocery-anchored assets, NNN investments, land, leasing and investment sales.
A member of the Forbes Business Council since 2017, Rodrigo brings a multicultural perspective to Brazilian and international investors in the United States. Faith, family and integrity remain at the center of how he leads and does business.
Co-Founder & Managing Director
Moana Schiavo is Co-Founder and Managing Director of SVN | Premier Capital Advisors, where she leads the firm's operations, finance, and property management practice. As the firm's CFO and operational architect, she oversees everything that makes a brokerage run with excellence — from financial management and compliance to the systems, standards, and people behind every transaction.
Moana's journey is inseparable from the firm's own. In 2005, she and her husband Rodrigo arrived in Florida from Fortaleza, Brazil with $1,400, each other, and a God-given purpose. Together they built a real estate finance company that grossed over $100 million in under three years, then founded Premier Capital Realty — launching its property management division in 2009 and growing the firm into a multi-million dollar Florida commercial real estate company. In 2026, the firm joined the SVN® global network as SVN | Premier Capital Advisors.
Moana leads alongside Rodrigo with the same conviction that carried them from Brazil: faith, family, and purpose. She lives in Orlando.
Property Management
Deizhani Rodriguez leads the Property Management department at SVN | Premier Capital Advisors, overseeing daily operations, tenant relations, and financial performance across the firm's managed commercial portfolio. Since joining the firm in 2023, she has become the operational backbone of its property management practice — coordinating maintenance, managing vendor contracts, ensuring regulatory compliance, and keeping owners informed with accurate budgeting and financial reporting.
Deizhani brings more than a decade of customer-focused experience spanning property management, retail leadership, and office administration. Her approach combines operational discipline with genuine care for the people behind every property: she is known for responding to tenant needs quickly, maintaining high occupancy and retention, and protecting the long-term value of every asset under her watch.
Bilingual in English and Spanish, Deizhani connects easily with a diverse base of tenants, owners, and vendors. She is a commissioned Notary Public and is proficient in AppFolio and the full suite of modern property management tools.
Associate Advisor, Miami
Sarah Schiavo is an Associate Advisor at SVN | Premier Capital Advisors, leading the firm's presence in the Miami–Fort Lauderdale market. She specializes in commercial leasing, tenant representation, and site selection across South Florida, representing clients exclusively to ensure they secure the right space on the right terms.
Fluent in Portuguese, English, and Spanish, Sarah has become a trusted advisor for Latin American companies entering the U.S. market — guiding international clients through site selection, lease negotiation, and market entry with a cultural fluency few advisors can offer. Her background spans international trade, executive operations, and luxury markets, giving her a distinctive blend of transactional discipline and white-glove client service.
Before joining SVN | Premier Capital Advisors, Sarah supported end-to-end real estate transactions at a Miami brokerage and coordinated international trade operations across six countries for a Latin American mining company, building the negotiation, compliance, and logistics skills she now brings to commercial real estate. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and Government from the University of Miami, along with professional certifications in Luxury Markets and Art, Finance & Investment. Sarah also serves as a Board Member of JH333 Financial Holding.
Commercial Real Estate Advisor
Mike Jones is an Advisor at SVN | Premier Capital Advisors, specializing in office, retail, industrial, and healthcare properties across Greater Orlando. He represents business owners in leases, lease renewals, purchases, sales, sale-leasebacks, and development opportunities — always with the understanding that real estate is typically a business's largest expense after payroll, and every square foot should work toward the client's goals.
Mike's standout niche is healthcare. With more than 20 years of experience serving healthcare professionals — including over a decade in medical device sales and territory management for national manufacturers — he understands the clinical, operational, and regulatory idiosyncrasies that make medical real estate unlike any other asset class. Before joining SVN | Premier Capital Advisors, he spent several years as a commercial real estate advisor with a national firm specializing in healthcare tenant and buyer representation, helping physicians, dentists, and practice owners start up, expand, and relocate with terms that protect their bottom line.
Mike holds a Bachelor's degree in Health Care Administration from the University of Central Florida. His approach is simple: act as an informed advisor, deliver white-glove service, and leverage every bit of knowledge and experience to ensure his clients succeed.
Associate Advisor
Ramon Pontes is an Associate Advisor at SVN | Premier Capital Advisors, serving clients across Greater Orlando. A relationship-builder at his core, Ramon brings more than two decades of sales, negotiation, and business development experience to his advisory work — with a simple philosophy: every client deserves urgency, follow-through, and a fierce advocate on their side of the table.
Ramon's real estate roots trace back to his native Brazil, where he began working in the industry in 2013. He then built a standout career in the U.S. automotive finance sector, becoming the #1 producer nationwide at a national auto lender — generating over $5 million per month in loan volume for six consecutive months — and ranking in the top 10 of 455 account managers at the country's largest private used-car lender in his very first month. He later served as business partner and COO of a dealership operation before returning to his first professional love: real estate.
That track record isn't about cars — it's about what happens when relentless work ethic meets genuine care for the client. Trilingual in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, Ramon is a natural connector for Central Florida's international business community, and he approaches every deal with the negotiation instincts and sense of urgency that made him a top producer in one of the most competitive sales industries in America.
