Shravan Parsi is the CEO and founder of American Ventures, a commercial real estate and multifamily development, operating and investment company. They currently manage over 15,000 units. Shravan is a prime example of the quintessential American dream. When sharing his story with a fellow investor, he was encouraged to write a book. “The Science of the Deal: The DNA of Multifamily & Commercial Real Estate Investing” was picked up and published by Forbes.

Inspired by the desire to build amazing communities and provide quality lifestyles, he says, “It’s not about the money, it’s about what kind of impact you’re leaving.”

Get to know Shravan, who inspires him, and what he thinks the most valuable leadership qualities are, in this episode of the Inspirational Leadership with the Best in Home Building podcast hosted by Zonda’s principal of advisory, Mollie Carmichael.
