ARVO Realty Advisors has long been recognized for its corporate leadership in the communities we serve. Volunteering and sponsorship for the less fortunate stand as significant parts of our culture. In addition to our commitment to environmental sustainability, we founded three initiatives that continue to be effective in the community:
ARVO Realty Advisors is a pioneer in diversity and leads the commercial real estate industry in understanding both its value and impact on the communities we serve. The founders of ARVO Realty Advisors are considered by their peers to be experts in this vital area. Ed Ryland, President and CEO, is especially proud of his involvement with focus groups in creating strategies and plans to expand the discussion of diversity and its value to the corporate and public sectors.
ARVO Realty Advisors is a leader in mentoring minorities and women real estate professionals. Recognizing that commercial real estate is tremendously under-represented by minorities, we are considered the “go-to” firm for minorities interested in pursuing a career in commercial real estate; however, our approach is not just to promote awareness of diversity and social responsibility. Our track record reflects our delivery of scalable, innovative solutions, flexibility, and cost savings through our strategic approach to diversity. In a world that will continue to change going forward, we must understand diversity’s impact on the environment, workplace, and community. ARVO Realty Advisors is committed to continued growth of diversity initiatives so that our community and clients can benefit from the cutting-edge, diverse thought leaders and cost-saving benefits we provide.
Ed Ryland founded Ryland Enterprise, Inc., in Houston, Texas, in September 1986 as a real estate brokerage firm and vehicle for trailblazing inclusion into the commercial real estate industry. From the beginning, integrity, drive, and professionalism towards extraordinary solutions have stood as the firm’s core values. These values have been employed to build a growing and dynamic company that has prospered in times of plenty and times of scarcity. It has earned the reputation of being one of Houston’s premier commercial real estate firms.
In 2002, the company began to focus on national and corporate engagements. With this expanded geographical capacity came expanded service offerings.
In April 2010, the company was re-branded as ARVO Realty Advisors to emphasize its commitment to bringing value to its client’s endeavors and global capability.

During the course of his real estate career, he has received several awards, including Top Closed Transactions, Top Lister, Top Sales, Top Producer and 1990 Realtist of the Year.
