The timing for Sacramento Tenant Advisors “STC” (www.sactotenantadvisors.com) entry into the Sacramento Central California Valley real estate market was based on the philosophy that has been carried from Synergy Real Estate Group, Corporate Advisory LLC (www.synreg.com), it’s mother company with offices in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Inland Empire, Irvine and San Diego with over 54 associate offices in key markets throughout the US and Canada.
“Finding the ideal combination of top quality talent that shares our no-conflict, tenant representation only approach to client service is a rare find in the US,” said John Galaxidas, CEO, Synergy Real Estate Group, Corporate Advisory LLC and founder of Sacramento Tenant Advisors.
STA has been planning a Sacramento office to service the growing needs of small business and middle market business clientele and fulfill corporate expansion plans of regional companies, exclusively representing users of space, thereby avoiding the possible agency/tenant conflict of interest.
“Synergy Real Estate Group, Corporate Advisory LLC and Sacramento Tenant Advisors not only shares this approach, they have demonstrated how it ultimately delivers outstanding results in Sacramento and Placer Counties, one nation’s fastest growing counties in the nation,” said Galaxidas.
STA will distinguish itself in the Sacramento marketplace, Galaxidas said, by its “Performance Guarantee” of service in which compensation is based on the client’s satisfaction with STA’s performance.
“Synergy Real Estate Group, Corporate Advisory and Sacramento Tenant Advisors “client first” approach has contributed to one of the strongest growth records in its expansion into 54 key markets in the US.

The firm’s founding principles are integrity, trust and professionalism,” said Galaxidas. “We will be focusing on servicing clients’ in the greater Sacramento Central Valley region, including neighboring Roseville, Rocklin, Folsom, Elk Grove, Stockton, Fairfield and Vacaville and Reno, as well as national corporate interested in opening or expanding in and outside the Sacramento region.
