Wesley Chapel is one of the fastest-growing commercial markets in Florida, and most brokers are still treating it like a secondary suburban market. TAMBAY Commercial does not. Before anything goes to market, Tom Brubaker runs a certified valuation — income analysis, real buyer behavior data, debt constraints, actual competition — so the price you set is defensible and the process you run creates leverage. Whether you are selling, leasing, or acquiring, the engagement starts with a number that holds up, not a broker's estimate.
Every engagement at TAMBAY Commercial starts with one principle: you deserve to know what your property is actually worth before anyone makes a move. Tom Brubaker is a state-certified appraiser and licensed broker with 35 years of experience across the Tampa Bay market. When you work with TAMBAY Commercial in Wesley Chapel, you work directly with Tom from the first conversation through closing. That matters in a market like Pasco County, where growth is moving fast and pricing errors are expensive. National chains assign associates. TAMBAY Commercial assigns Tom.

Wesley Chapel’s population has grown from fewer than 6,000 residents in 2000 to over 72,000 today, with projections pushing past 80,000 by 2025. That growth is driving sustained demand for retail along the SR-54 and SR-56 corridors, office space near healthcare anchors like AdventHealth, and commercial land ahead of the next development cycle. TAMBAY Commercial gives buyers, sellers, and landlords certified market intelligence before any decision is made.
When you hire TAMBAY Commercial, Tom Brubaker handles your transaction personally from start to finish. No handoffs. No associates. No national chain workflow where the managing broker signs the listing agreement and a junior agent takes the calls. Tom has 35 years of experience across the Pasco County commercial market, served as president of FGCAR, and holds state certification as a general real estate appraiser. That credential means every recommendation is backed by certified analysis grounded in real market data. He brings the same rigor to a retail pad site on SR-54 as he does to a commercial land acquisition along the Kinfield corridor.
Kristin Phillips is an M&A advisor with a disciplined, apprenticeship-driven background that sets her apart in an industry where many learn through costly trial and error. Rather than entering the field untrained, Kristin spent five years as an understudy to Tom Brubaker—an appraiser and broker with more than 35 years of experience—gaining hands-on expertise across mergers and acquisitions and commercial real estate before advising clients independently. Her path into M&A is rooted in entrepreneurship; she previously founded and operated a startup compounding pharmacy, giving her firsthand insight into the realities, risks, and rewards of business ownership. That combination of entrepreneurial experience and rigorous mentorship allows Kristin to approach every transaction with precision, prudence, and a deep respect for the complexity of buying and selling businesses.
TAMBAY Commercial publishes market analysis on the commercial real estate conditions shaping Pasco County and the broader Tampa Bay region. Each article reflects Tom Brubaker’s perspective as a certified appraiser. Whether you want to understand how the Kinfield development at I-75 and SR-52 is reshaping land values across Wesley Chapel, how retail absorption along SR-56 compares to regional benchmarks, or what cap rates look like for income-producing assets in Pasco County right now, our Insights give you the context behind the numbers.
Yes. Wesley Chapel is an unincorporated community in Pasco County located approximately 25 miles north of downtown Tampa along I-75. It sits within the broader Tampa Bay Metropolitan Statistical Area and is directly connected to Tampa via I-75, SR-54, SR-56, and Bruce B. Downs Boulevard. TAMBAY Commercial covers Wesley Chapel as a primary service area and treats it as a core component of the Tampa Bay commercial market, not a secondary territory.
The most active categories right now are retail (particularly pad sites and strip centers along SR-54 and SR-56), industrial flex space near the Zephyrhills and Wesley Chapel interchange areas, and medical office driven by the expanding hospital and specialist corridor off Bruce B. Downs. Land sales for future development are also moving steadily as national and regional developers continue to acquire sites ahead of infrastructure buildout. TAMBAY Commercial tracks all of these categories and can tell you what is actually trading versus what is sitting on the market.
Tom Brubaker is a certified real estate appraiser, which means valuation is not a guess or a comp-pull exercise. He runs a full income analysis on every income-producing property, factoring in current lease rates across Pasco County, buyer financing constraints, cap rate expectations by property type, and actual competitive listings. For land and owner-occupied properties, the process uses comparable sales data weighted by proximity, timing, and deal structure rather than surface-level averages. The result is a defensible number that holds up when buyers push back and when the deal gets to the closing table.
You do not need a broker, but the Wesley Chapel market is specific enough that working without one carries real risk. Zoning classifications, county permitting timelines, traffic count data, and absorption rates vary by corridor and by sub-area within Wesley Chapel. A broker who is not active in Pasco County will not know that a retail strip on SR-54 near Wiregrass performs differently from one near the Meadow Pointe interchange. Tom Brubaker has worked this market consistently and can tell you which locations have real demand and which are being pushed by brokers trying to move stuck inventory.
TAMBAY Commercial serves the full Wesley Chapel market including SR-54 and SR-56 corridors, Bruce B. Downs Boulevard, the Wiregrass area, Meadow Pointe, the areas surrounding BayCare Hospital and the expanding medical district, the Wesley Chapel and Zephyrhills interchange zones, and the residential growth corridors feeding into new commercial development in Pasco County. If you are looking at a property anywhere in Wesley Chapel or the surrounding Pasco market, reach out and we can tell you exactly what the numbers look like.
Tom’s industry experience and expertise is unsurpassed. With over 30 years experience, he is experienced in all facets of business acquisitions, commercial real estate and market trends. He brings his A-game to the negotiation table and guides you throughout the entire process. If you are looking to buy a new business or sell an existing one, I highly recommend TAMBAY!
I have known Tom and his organization for years. We have worked together on multiple occasions, and everything he does is professional, timely and gets things closed. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a business broker in Florida.
Our buy-side firm has worked on three deals with TAMBAY. Tom and Kristin were a delight to work with each time. Tom brings years of knowledge and experience, but you still get the care and attention you can only get by working with a local team with deep roots in Tampa Bay.
