Walt Brown, Jr.
Walt Brown, Jr., the winner of the Large Business Leader of the Year award at the 2025 Champions of Change Awards, is the founder, CEO and designated broker of Diversified Partners, a real estate brokerage and development company based in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Walt began his career in commercial real estate in California in 1990 where he 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 moved from California to Arizona and further expanded his real estate knowledge and contact base as a commercial agent at Core-Jackson, Oncor International (Phoenix). In 1996, he 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 Development and Brokerage firms in Arizona.
Walt’s significant experience in all aspects of the commercial real estate industry for the last thirty-three 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 country. From this he has established quality and long lasting relationships with national credit tenants such as LA Fitness, Starbucks, In-N-Out Burger, WalMart and Home Depot, multiple banks and financial institutions, public/private REIT’s, and numerous major brokerage firms across the United States.
