John Walsh, who retired last December as Vice President from the Pasco Economic Development Council, has joined Commercial Asset Partners Realty. Walsh assumes the title of Commercial Sales Associate at the New Port Richey-based commercial real estate brokerage firm.
“John has a long history of putting together development deals and incentives for companies to enter the market in this area,” said Heidi Tuttle-Beisner, CCIM, Broker-Owner of CAP Realty. “His expertise, experience and ability to find the right sites for industrial and office users make him a great addition to the CAP Realty team.”
In his new role, Walsh will focus on brokering commercial real estate transactions for industrial and office properties and development sites in Pasco, Pinellas, Hernando and Hillsborough Counties.
“I’ve known Heidi a long time and worked with her on a number of projects while I was at the Pasco EDC,” said Walsh. “She has a lot of energy, knows how to get things done and has put together a great team. Those were big points that attracted me to CAP.”
In his previous role as the longtime Vice President at the Pasco Economic Development Council, Walsh oversaw operations and marketing strategies related to business recruitment and existing industry expansion, as well as the establishment of a county-wide entrepreneurship program. During the 17 years Walsh was at the Pasco EDC, he was personally involved in helping 140 companies create over 4,000 new jobs and invest more than $360 million in the county, and for nine years held a position on the Pasco County Development Review Committee.
“At CAP, I’ll work to help companies navigate the regulatory process so they don’t end up investing in properties that won’t truly work for them,” said Walsh. “I think I bring a perspective to the real estate process that will help clients find properties that will best accomplish their business needs.”
Walsh is a Certified Economic Developer through the International Economic Development Council, holds a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of South Florida and is a graduate of Leadership Tampa Bay. He received his Sales Associate License from the Florida Department of Business Regulation in March.
