Celebrating Longevity, Leadership, and a Legacy of Precision

By Scott Kardos, Director of Business Development – Midwest Region, NV5 Real Estate Transaction Services

At NV5 Real Estate Transaction Services, formerly known as Bock & Clark, our 50+ year history in commercial real estate due diligence is rooted in consistency, expertise, and long-standing client relationships. While our name has evolved, our commitment to precision, customer service, and reliability remains unchanged.

As Director of Business Development for the Midwest Region and a member of both CREW Cleveland and CREW Chicago, I’m proud to represent a team that delivers critical services such as ALTA/NSPS Land Title Surveys, Zoning Reports, Environmental Site Assessments (Phase I & II), and Property Condition Reports for clients across the country.

But what really sets our organization apart are the people behind the work.

Our team of over 100 professionals brings exceptional depth of experience. More than 30 employees have been with the company for 15 years or longer—many for over two decades. Among them are technical experts, project managers, branch office leaders, report writers, and drafters who have helped shape our reputation as one of the most trusted names in the industry.

Women play an essential role across all departments. They comprise:

• 81% of our Zoning team

• 75% of our Network team

• 58% of our Environmental team

• 57% of our Accounting, Sales, and IT team

These professionals aren’t just part of the team—they help lead it. We have women in key positions including Director of Project Management, Environmental Department Manager, Zoning Department Manager, Controller, and several Project Managers, many of whom have been with us for over 20 years.

That level of experience speaks volumes. It’s one thing to deliver accurate reports—it’s another to do so consistently over decades with a team clients know and trust.

At NV5 Real Estate Transaction Services, we take pride in the loyalty and professionalism of our people. We’re honored to serve as a national sponsor of CREW, as well as support several local chapters. Promoting growth and leadership opportunities for women in commercial real estate aligns naturally with the way we’ve operated for decades.

If you're part of CREW and would like to connect—whether to learn more about our services or simply exchange insights—We would love to hear from you.
