About Jeff Quinn
Working as sole practitioner as well as in partnership with affiliate entities, Jeff Quinn forms partnerships to invest in commercial real estate. Over the last eight years he has formed more than fifteen investment partnerships with more than $50 million in equity. His focus has been primarily on self-storage facilities, mobile home parks, medical office buildings, and residential developments.

He also works as a real estate consultant and asset manager to developers, lenders, and owners of income property. In this capacity he has worked on projects ranging from liquidation of bank owned real estate to development of a sports arena and two public museums.
Jeff began working in real estate development and brokerage in 1978 when he formed a series of partnerships with the Fletcher Group, part of one of the pioneering families in the history of San Diego’s development. Together they developed several hundred entry-level houses in East San Diego County.
In 1987 Jeff Quinn and Jim Scott formed Scott & Quinn Real Estate in Mission Hills, now the oldest real estate brokerage firm in this prestigious San Diego community. Scott & Quinn Real Estate specializes in residential sales, income property brokerage, and property management.
From 1991 to 2001 Jeff pursued several major development opportunities. As a partner and Director of Development he directed Arena Group 2000’s effort in completing the Preliminary Master Plan for the Downtown San Diego Entertainment and Sports Center. The City Council unanimously adopted the Master Plan in August 1994. He then managed the design and construction of the new San Diego Hall of Champions Sports Museum in the historic Federal Building in Balboa Park. This 70,000 square foot innovative and interactive museum won the prestigious California Preservation Foundation Award for 1999. After completion of the Hall of Champions, Jeff directed the negotiations to acquire a new downtown site for the San Diego Children’s Museum from the City of San Diego. He directed the preliminary design efforts and processed that plan through to approval by the City Council.
Jeff was born and raised in San Diego, California. He earned his Bachelor’s Degree from the University of California, San Diego in 1973. He and his wife, Mary, continue to live in San Diego and make frequent trips to their second home on Orcas Island, Washington.
