About Townhouse Partners
Townhouse Partners is a leading commercial real estate due diligence and advisory firm trusted by lenders, investors, and owners nationwide. Founded in 2009, we built our reputation by delivering clear, rigorous analysis and by showing up as true partners on complex, high-stakes transactions. Today, we work across all major asset types throughout the U.S. and operate on both the debt and equity sides of the market.

We provide due diligence, advisory, and research services to investors who need clarity, speed, and an edge in decision-making.
