Heritage

Paul Ash Commercial Real Estate (formerly Paul Ash Management Company, LLC) began as Nationwide Realty in 1965 when our founder Paul Ash (1930-2012) left a successful sales career as an appliance manufacturer’s representative to forge a new career in the real estate brokerage industry. When his focus shifted to development in the early 1970’s the firm became known as Paul Ash Investment Company. Over the next two decades the company focused on development and acquisition of multi-family, retail, and commercial properties primarily in Arizona, New Mexico and California.

Gradually, as the company took advantage of various acquisition opportunities the company became known as Paul Ash Management Company, LLC in 1995. Since then, we have acted as owners and principals in diverse real estate assets such as market rate multi-family residential, LIHTC properties, regional retail malls, strip retail, industrial buildings, free standing retail development and acquisition of federal leased buildings. Paul Ash Commercial Real Estate has become one of Southern Arizona’s leading community association managers and managed commercial assets in 11 States.

Today, Paul Ash Commercial Real Estate is led by partners Bruce Ash, CPM as President/CEO, Michael Ash, AcoM/Designated Broker and Kristen Steiner, Chief Financial Officer, John Yarborough VP of Commercial Brokerage for Office and Investment Properties and David Carroll VP of Commercial Brokerage for Retail Properties. With well over a half century of success, the company’s outlook is as bright as ever as the principals of the company continue to achieve profits through our opportunistic approach to managing success for our clients and partners.
