Our Story
NAI Earle Furman, serving the Upstate of South Carolina, and North Carolina's NAI Piedmont Triad joined forces to form a creative commercial real estate collaboration across state lines. The teams expanded their market footprint in 2019 by partnering with the newly rebranded NAI Columbia (formerly Avant) group operating in the South Carolina Midlands, and later merged in January 2023. This strategic alliance equally benefits all three firms with additional manpower, expanded resources, and ever-evolving cross-market projects fueled by combined expertise. Individually, each firm has been an active presence in its market for over three decades, and together they share an engaging environment defined by teamwork, guidance, and growth.
