Las Vegas, NV (February 9th, 2026) – SVN | The Equity Group (SVN TEG), a leading commercial real estate advisory firm founded in 1980, today announced a leadership transition designed to honor its 45-year legacy while positioning the firm for its next chapter.
Founder Scott Godino will assume the role of Chairman Emeritus, and Nolan Julseth-White, CCIM has been named Chief Executive Officer.
For more than four decades, Godino has been a constant presence in the Las Vegas business community—as an employer, advisor, and developer—guiding the firm through multiple market cycles while helping shape the city’s commercial real estate landscape. Under his leadership, SVN TEG grew into a respected platform built on integrity, collaboration, and a disciplined, client-first approach.
“This transition reflects what we’ve always believed in—planning thoughtfully, investing in people, and building something that lasts,” said Godino. “SVN TEG was built to endure beyond any one person, and Nolan is the right leader to carry that responsibility forward.”
As Chairman Emeritus, Godino will remain actively involved with the firm, providing strategic insight and continuing to steward the values and relationships that have defined SVN TEG since its founding.
A graduate of Union College in upstate New York, Julseth-White was introduced to Las Vegas in 2012 through his professional hockey career with the Las Vegas Wranglers. After retiring from hockey, he returned to Las Vegas to pursue a career in business, joining SVN | The Equity Group under Godino’s mentorship.
For almost a decade, that relationship evolved into a trusted partnership. Julseth-White worked alongside Godino, advising him on strategy and long-term planning, a collaboration that ultimately led to his selection as successor.
“SVN TEG has a remarkable history built on integrity, collaboration, and long-term relationships. I don’t take that legacy lightly,” said Julseth-White. “Our focus moving forward is to build on that foundation—expanding our capabilities, investing in our people, and positioning the firm for its next phase of growth.”
This leadership transition reflects SVN TEG’s commitment to continuity and long-term stability. With experienced leadership and deep local roots, the firm is well positioned to continue serving clients across Southern Nevada for decades to come.
