John Finn is the Director of Leasing and Acquisitions at Damianos Realty Group LLC.  In the twelve years that John has been with Damianos he has proved himself an invaluable asset to the firm, playing an active role in its rapid growth and expansion, while still managing to oversee the day-to-day operations, and has successfully negotiated countless transactions for the 21 properties in the firm’s impressive commercial portfolio.

In 2010 John became a designee of the Suffolk County Planning Commission, a position for which he was nominated by the County Executive and confirmed by the County Legislature. Representing the Town of Smithtown, John’s responsibilities within the Commission include establishing a comprehensive plan for Suffolk County, the review of site plans and zoning actions and reporting annually to the legislature on the status of the County.

In 2008, Damianos Realty Group was awarded the prestigious “Developer of the Year” award by The Association for a Better Long Island and The Commercial Industrial Broker Society for the firm’s newest construction project located at 100 Hospital Road in Patchogue- a modern medical office building providing much-needed services to the local community.  John was instrumental in the design and development of this 54,000 square foot state-of-the-art medical building, and just a little over a year after the first shovel hit the ground, John and his team already had the building fully leased.
