One of Houston’s largest commercial realtors is expanding its horizons to some of the state’s biggest markets and is hoping to only grow its brand from there.

Houston-based NAI Partners, long an affiliate of NAI Global, one of the world’s leading commercial real estate brokerages, has announced that it is now moving on from NAI to continue operations independently, and has already begun expanding its offices to new locations.

One of them is the Dallas-Fort Worth area, which was recently named the top commercial real estate market in the nation with a total volume of $22.9 billion in the first half of 2022. The DFW office market has also logged its first three-quarter run of positive net absorption since 2018.

As part of its breakup with NAI Global, the company has also rebranded itself from NAI Partners to simply “Partners.”

“Our announcement today represents a significant evolution in the growth of Partners,” said managing partner Jon Silberman in a release.

Silberman said ending its affiliation with NAI Global was necessary to allow the company to continue growing — particularly geographically.

Partners is the second-largest partner-operated, privately-held and independently-owned commercial real estate firm in Texas. The company already has offices in Houston, San Antonio, and Austin, and plans to expand beyond Texas into Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina, Colorado, Arizona, and other markets.

The move comes as the company celebrates 25 years in the Texas market, where it completes about 1,000 commercial lease and sale transactions each year and has been named among the “Inc. 5000” list of fastest-growing private companies in America.
