Chicago, IL - In just three years, Partner Valuation Advisors (Partner), a national commercial real estate valuation and advisory firm headquartered in Chicago, has emerged as one of the most influential players in the national CRE landscape. Presently, Partner Valuation Advisors has 110 professionals located in more than 40 markets nationally. Partner performs valuations of the Core 4 property types of office, retail, industrial, and multifamily and offers specialty practices in affordable housing, manufactured housing (MHC), seniors housing, self-storage, hotels, and healthcare among others.

The firm completed over 10,000 valuations in 2024, representing a staggering $225 billion in property value—more than double its 2023 volume of 4,465 valuations and $113 billion, and is on its way to surpassing those 2024 numbers in 2025. That growth has earned Partner Valuation Advisors the distinction of being a top 10 valuation firm in the United States.

“We’re often the first call in a transaction,” said Eric Enloe, MAI, CRE, FRICS, co-founder and Senior Managing Director. “That early involvement gives us a front-row seat to what’s happening in the market before it hits the headlines.”

Enloe, a veteran of JLL, co-founded the firm in 2022 with Brandon Nunnink, CFA also formerly of JLL, with a shared vision: to build a valuation firm that could deliver faster, more defensible, and data-driven insights in a market where certainty is in short supply.

Unlike traditional brokerages or capital markets firms, Partner Valuation Advisors focuses exclusively on valuation and advisory services. That singular focus has helped it become an independent authority for institutional investors, lenders, and developers navigating complex deals.

“We’re not trying to sell or finance the asset, we’re here to value it with precision and integrity,” said Nunnink. “That independence is a big reason clients trust us, but we also benefit from being part of the larger Partner family companies that performs some level of diligence on 1 in every 4 commercial real estate transactions in America.”

Clients consistently turn to Partner Valuation Advisors when timing is critical, and precision is non-negotiable, especially in competitive sale environments. They rely on valuations that stand up to the toughest scrutiny, whether from investment committees, regulators, or rating agencies. And with a front-row seat to market activity, Partner delivers insights ahead of the curve, often before trends make headlines. The firm’s proprietary processes and national platform allow it to deliver efficiently across asset types and geographies, while maintaining a high-touch, relationship-driven approach.

“We’re not just delivering a number, we’re delivering execution confidence,” said Enloe. “Our clients know they can rely on us to get it right the first time.”

The firm’s data and insights are increasingly being used not just to support transactions, but to forecast trends and guide strategy across the CRE ecosystem. From institutional investors repositioning portfolios to lenders underwriting complex assets, Partner’s work is helping clients make smarter, faster, and more defensible decisions.

In a CRE market defined by volatile bond yields, shifting asset values, and capital constraints, a modern valuation approach has become more than a necessary compliance step, it’s a strategic advantage.

“We’re seeing clients lean on us earlier and more often throughout their equity and debt investment cycles,” said Nunnink. “They want to know what’s real, what’s risky, and where the values of their assets within the market are headed.”

That demand has fueled Partner’s rapid growth, and its reputation as a barometer for broader market activity. The firm’s client engagements often precede major transaction volume, giving it a unique role as a leading indicator for the industry.

Looking ahead, Partner Valuation Advisors is doubling down on its commitment to technology, analytics, and talent, evidenced by the recent additions of industry veterans Michael Robinson, MRICS, who supports Miami and New York, and James Graber, MAI, based in Dallas and covering the South Central Region. These strategic hires are part of a broader effort to scale the firm’s impact.

At the same time, Partner is actively exploring new tools to enhance data transparency, streamline reporting, and deliver even more actionable insights to clients. “We’re just getting started,” said Nunnink. “Our goal is to be the most trusted name in CRE valuation in the U.S."

For clients navigating today’s CRE landscape, Partner Valuation Advisors offers more than just a valuation, it offers clarity, confidence, and a competitive edge in the valuation process. And in a market where execution is key, that’s a value proposition that’s hard to ignore.
