Walt Brown, Jr., is the Founder, CEO and Designated Broker of Diversified Partners, LLC, a real estate brokerage and development company based in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Walt began his career in commercial real estate in California in 1990. Walt focused on learning and understanding the real estate business while creating valuable relationships through his positions with Terranomics Retail Services (San Francisco & Newport Beach) and then Mahler & Company (Beverly Hills). In 1992, Walt decided to move from California to Arizona and further expand his real estate knowledge and contact base as a commercial agent at Core-Jackson, Oncor International (Phoenix). In 1996, Walt founded Diversified Partners as a full service commercial real estate brokerage company. Over the years, Walt’s passion, executive oversight and “big picture” mentality have contributed to Diversified Partners evolving into one of the leading Developers and Brokerage firms in Arizona.

Walt’s significant experience in all aspects of the commercial real estate industry for the last nineteen years has led to a wide range of successes. Together with past and present partners, he has leased, sold, and/or developed more than 5,000 commercial properties and more than 12 million square feet of retail properties located throughout the entire country. From this he has established quality and long lasting relationships with national credit tenants such as L.A. Fitness, WalMart, and Home Depot, banks and financial institutions, public/private REIT’s, and numerous major brokerage firms across the United States. The respect Walt has gained from his peers is the reason why Diversified Partners has been hand-picked to represent the national expansion for numerous entities, relocation and/or liquidation for their non-productive assets. His business ethics and personable demeanor have propelled him in the commercial real estate field to an all time career height.

In addition to his successful professional career, Walt Brown is a devoted father to his nine (9) year old son, Wally III. Family is Walt’s number one priority and he makes sure to set aside time for his son and his brothers and sisters. These strong family values are embedded in all facets of Diversified’s business.

In 2008, City of Hope honored Walt with the Spirit of Life Award for his ongoing dedication and commitment to help City of Hope advance science and improve treatments for people everywhere who face a life-threatening disease.
