Jim Belfiore has been named president of the southwest region of Kasa Development LLC, a newly formed modular homebuilder with a hungry appetite for land in Arizona.
After founding Belfiore Real Estate Consulting in 2006, Belfiore sold his Phoenix data research firm to Costa Mesa, California-based Zonda last November.
