Myra Nimchaiyong

Myra Nimchaiyong is a commercial real estate advisor with more than two decades of experience representing owners, investors, developers, businesses, and institutions across Chicago and the surrounding markets. Her career spans investment sales, leasing, acquisitions and dispositions, adaptive reuse, residential rehabs, residential and commercial development representation, site selection, and portfolio strategy across retail, office, mixed-use, multifamily, automotive, and redevelopment assets.

Myra advises clients throughout the real estate lifecycle, from early-stage strategy and market evaluation through underwriting, negotiations, due diligence, leasing, repositioning, and disposition. Her approach combines market intelligence, financial analysis, negotiation, and a practical understanding of how real estate functions as both an operating asset and an investment. Her experience in residential and commercial development gives her a broader perspective on how real estate can help transform communities. Through the rehabilitation of existing properties, repositioning of underutilized buildings, adaptive reuse, and new development, Myra understands how thoughtful investment can create housing, attract businesses, activate properties, and contribute to long-term neighborhood vitality.

Myra also leads myra., a residential real estate team serving buyers, sellers, investors, and homeowners throughout the Chicago market. Built around a collaborative, high-touch approach, the team combines local market expertise, strategic positioning, negotiation, and a strong understanding of renovation and development potential. Myra’s background in residential rehabs and development allows the team to help clients evaluate not only what a property is today, but what it can become, with attention to improvement opportunities, resale positioning, and long-term value.

Together, Compass Commercial and myra. reflect the full scope of Myra’s real estate practice, connecting residential, commercial, investment, and development expertise through a consistent focus on strategy, value, and long-term relationships.

Myra returns to Compass Commercial, bringing a broader advisory platform, deeper market experience, and a career built around solving complex real estate challenges. Her approach combines transactional expertise with financial analysis, market intelligence, negotiation, and a practical understanding of how real estate performs as both an operating asset and an investment.

As a Certified Commercial Investment Member (CCIM), Myra brings a sophisticated investment perspective to every real estate decision. She looks beyond the transaction itself to understand how an asset performs, where value can be created, what risks need to be addressed, and how each decision supports a client’s broader investment or business strategy. That analytical discipline, combined with more than two decades of market experience, allows her to approach opportunities with the perspective of both an advisor and an investor.

Her industry leadership complements her real estate practice. In 2027, she serves on the Chicago REALTORS® Board of Directors and as Chair of CommercialForum. She also serves as Chair of the Illinois REALTORS® Commercial & Property Management Committee and as President-Elect of the CCIM Illinois Chapter.

She is also a frequent moderator, panelist, and speaker on commercial real estate, development, adaptive reuse, transaction strategy, technology, leadership, advocacy, and the evolving role of women in the industry.
