SCO Advisors, Inc. (Shuford, Carpiac, Ohren) has been serving the greater Los Angeles area for nearly three decades. In 1982, Steven Ohren founded the advisory firm known as Leonard & Ohren Strategic Advisory & Brokerage to serve the brokerage and marketing needs of its affiliated company, Pacifica Capital Group, a company he also co-founded. Mr. Ohren’s previous experience was as a top producing broker representing aerospace Fortune 50 companies primarily in Los Angeles’ South Bay region. As the Pacifica Capital Group real estate portfolio grew, SCO Advisors, Inc. not only continued to represent Pacifica’s lease listings but it also actively helped Pacifica Capital Group to source acquisition investment opportunities.

In 1984, Craig Johnson joined the firm and established a strong client base in West Los Angeles focusing on office and industrial properties. Craig has represented several international corporations, including Target and Direct TV. He continues to spearhead SCO’s West Los Angeles landlord and tenant representation practice.

Starting in 1998, Britten Shuford joined the firm and re-oriented its focus from predominantly in-house responsibilities to 3rd party institutional advisory work. Within a very short amount of time, the firm became one of the most active advisory companies in Southern California, representing tenants, landlords and real estate investors predominantly in the South Bay, LAX and Westside regions of Los Angeles. In fact, in less than five years since the 3rd party platform was launched, the firm represented the interests of 75% of the major national institutional investment firms who actively invest in Southern California.

In 2007, SCO represented the sellers in the two largest sale transactions in both the South Bay and LAX submarkets for industrial product.

Sadly, in 2008 company founder Steven Ohren passed away after a battle with cancer.  However, he retains the Chairman Emeritus title and his guiding principles of integrity driven business and long term, mutually beneficial relationships continue to serve as the firm’s guiding principles.

Today, SCO is comprised of a dynamic and committed team of advisors.  Please refer to the following link for a list of SCO Advisors.
