Sperry Van Ness Snares Bach From Prudential

TAMPA, FL-Bill Bach, a former director of investment services for Prudential Tropical Realty, is the new senior investment advisor in the Tampa, FL office of Irvine, CA-based Sperry Van Ness.

Bach’s arrival at Sperry Van Ness comes as the California company expands its presence in the Tampa Bay commercial market. The company has grown its regional network to 65 regions from nine regions in two years, according to the firm’s prepared statement. Jim Brady, the company’s regional director, has headed the growth program.

Brady is counting on Bach’s “expertise and reputation as one of Tampa’s premier commercial real estate professionals” to continue Sperry Van Ness’ growth in the central-west Florida market, the director says in the statement.
