Aaron Fisch

Aaron Fisch serves as Director of the Real Estate and Property Management agency for the City of St. Petersburg, overseeing the strategic procurement of services essential to maintaining title integrity and risk mitigation for municipal real property assets. In this leadership role, he directs the acquisition of legal, financial, and insurance services critical to ensuring lawful, secure, and efficient property management. His procurement portfolio centers on title abstracting, settlement services, and property insurance coverage, aligning with the agency’s mission to safeguard city-owned real estate through precise documentation and risk transfer mechanisms. Fisch is responsible for evaluating vendor capabilities, ensuring regulatory compliance, and executing contracts that uphold public fiduciary standards. Fisch collaborates primarily with specialized title abstract and settlement firms, as well as direct property and casualty insurance carriers, to secure reliable, auditable services that support chain-of-title verification and liability protection. His working relationships are characterized by long-term vendor partnerships built on technical proficiency, regulatory adherence, and consistent service delivery. While no single contractor dominates the award landscape, he prioritizes vendors with demonstrated expertise in municipal real estate law and insurance underwriting tailored to public sector exposures. Fisch’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of procurements designated as “No Set-Aside.” He does not currently prioritize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, instead focusing on vendor qualifications, service reliability, and compliance with municipal property statutes. This approach underscores a mission-driven emphasis on technical competence over socioeconomic categorization. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541191 (Title Abstract and Settlement Offices) and 524126 (Direct Property and Casualty Insurance Carriers), reflecting deep expertise in real estate transactional services and risk mitigation through insurance. He routinely procures title searches, escrow services, closing documentation, and comprehensive property insurance policies designed to protect city assets from litigation, liens, and uninsured losses.
