Tim Cassidy has been the sales manager for Bestcon of Jacksonville, Inc., for four years.
HIS JOB?
“Manages sales,” said Cassidy with a smirk. From sales and marketing to public relations and coordinating with Bestcon’s interior design team, Cassidy stays very busy managing Bestcon’s communities located in Jacksonville Beach, Atlantic Beach and St. Augustine.
GETTING TO BESTCON
Cassidy and his wife moved to Jacksonville Beach four years ago from Atlanta and bought their home from Bestcon Homes. “I met Paul W. Nichols, Bestcon’s president, and the next thing you know I was working for him. I had intended to work in real estate sales with Prudential, but when Paul offered me the job I could not pass it up.”
BEFORE BESTCON
Cassidy spent many years in pharmaceutical sales and management in Southern California, Texas and Georgia before he got into the real estate business. “I spent two years as a Realtor with Prudential in Atlanta before my wife’s job transferred us to Jacksonville.”
