In early 2024, Rode & Associates proudly announced its transition to new management and the strategic amalgamation of The Valuator Advisory’s (TVA) services. This integration marked a significant evolution for the firm, positioning Rode & Associates as a comprehensive, full-service valuation and advisory company.

Under the leadership of CEO Bilaal Chand and Marlene Tighly, Rode & Associates now offers an expanded suite of valuation services that go well beyond traditional property valuations. By leveraging TVA’s established expertise, the firm can value a wide range of assets, including:
- Plant and equipment
- Art and antiques
- Business entities
- Listed and unlisted property companies and funds

This comprehensive approach ensures clients receive independent, research-driven, and defensible valuations for market, insurance, regulatory, and municipal purposes. The company’s professional team is registered with the:
South African Council for the Property Valuers Profession (SACPVP)
South African Institute of Valuers (SAIV)

Compliance and quality are further assured by annual audits from RICS Europe. Rode & Associates also holds a BEE level 2 rating and RICS membership, underscoring its commitment to industry-leading standards and best practices.
Founder Erwin Rode will continue to provide consultancy services, supporting the company’s strategic direction and commitment to quality.

With the new management and TVA’s service integration, this merger unites over thirty years of Rode’s legacy with TVA’s extensive asset expertise, establishing a single point of contact for all valuation requirements across commercial, industrial, retail, and specialised asset classes.

The ‘new’ Rode & Associates is well-positioned as a leading, multi-disciplinary valuation and advisory firm, offering clients robust, independent, and comprehensive asset valuation solutions across all sectors. Rode is also recognised for its property sector reports, which are still produced but now operate under a separate entity called Rode Publications & Media.
