Patrick Svedin, MBA
Patrick is a licensed Utah agent who has been on the development side of a townhome project, so he knows what it is to wait on a study and then have to stand behind it. What he does at Signa is the people part: getting the right ones in the room, listening to what they actually say, and staying close to the client from the first conversation through the last. MBA, Westminster College.

Gardner Policy Institute, where his work covers housing, construction, real estate research, fiscal impact studies, and economic and demographic analysis.

Before the Gardner Institute he worked in retail research, modeling site sales performance with demographic gravity models, and on public-private partnerships, tax increment financing, market studies, and economic development plans. He is an adjunct professor of real estate market analysis at the University of Utah, where he earned both his BS in Urban Planning and his Master of Real Estate Development.
