NKF Brings on 10-Member Valuation Team

NKF is expanding its Valuation & Advisory (V&A) practice with 10 new hires. All are based in NKF V&A’s new St. Charles, IL office.

All joining from RVG Commercial, where Edward Kling was owner and president, they include SVPs Edward Kling, Peter Helland and Michael Lysien; VPs Keith Stewart, Donald DiNapoli and Scott Kling; and senior analysts Steve Bloch, Michael Crum, Agnieszka Jurowska and Brenda Culotta. The new hires will be led by John Mackris, senior managing director and NKF V&A market leader for Illinois, Kansas and Missouri.

“We are thrilled to welcome these skilled professionals to strategically augment NKF V&A in the Midwest,” said Mackris. “Ed Kling’s valuation group has been a well-respected fixture in this market for nearly two decades, and we expect the professionals’ excellent training and unique expertise to enhance our existing regional platform.”
