Partner Valuation Advisors Adds Industry Veterans Mark Sadler and T.J. Smith as Executive Vice Presidents to Launch New Right of Way Practice

Dallas–Fort Worth, TX — January 12, 2026 — Partner Valuation Advisors (Partner) is pleased to announce that Mark Sadler and T.J. Smith have joined the firm as Executive Vice Presidents to establish and lead Partner’s newly formed Right of Way practice. Based in the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex, Sadler and Smith bring a combined 40 years of right of way, eminent domain, infrastructure, and litigation-support valuation expertise, marking a significant expansion of Partner’s national capabilities.

“We could not be more excited to welcome Mark and T.J. to the team,” said James Graber, MAI, Senior Managing Director, who oversees Partner’s Dallas office and South-Central region. “Both are deeply respected across the right of way and infrastructure valuation world. Their arrival not only strengthens our Texas platform, but positions Partner as a national leader in one of the most important and rapidly expanding valuation disciplines.”

Sadler brings nearly twenty years of experience focused on right of way and litigation support. He has been designated as an expert witness in State and Federal court and is frequently retained to provide testimony in special commissioners’ hearings for both landowners and condemning authorities. His background includes valuation work for roadway expansions, transportation corridors, utility easements, mixed-use developments, and a broad range of complex land and commercial assets.

Smith, who has been active in real estate valuation since 2006, has extensive experience supporting major transportation agencies, utilities, engineering firms, and public infrastructure sponsors. His work spans eminent domain assignments, corridor and impact studies, easement and diminution in value analyses, land swaps, and litigation-related appraisal services for large-scale infrastructure projects across Texas and the broader region.

“The addition of Mark and T.J. represents a major milestone for Partner,” said Eric Enloe, MAI, CRE, FRICS, Co Founder and Senior Managing Director. “They bring the judgment, credibility, and real-world experience required for high stakes right of way and litigation assignments. Their leadership immediately elevates what we can offer our clients.”

“Joining Partner is the ideal next step for us,” said Sadler. “The firm’s independence, national reach, and commitment to high caliber, litigation ready valuation work align perfectly with how we approach this specialty.”

“We’re excited to build a best in class Right of Way & Litigation practice here in DFW,” added Smith. “Infrastructure demand is only accelerating, and we’re ready to help clients navigate it with fair, defensible valuations and clear communication.”
